maAssets

maAssets are liquid, yield-bearing tokens issued within Mitosis Matrix Vaults, representing a liquidity provider’s staked position and entitlements in the ecosystem. These assets enable participants to earn rewards, retain liquidity, and optimize capital efficiency while contributing to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.

Unlike standard liquidity pool tokens, maAssets incorporate programmable liquidity features, allowing providers to engage in customized staking campaigns, governance decisions, and cross-chain liquidity strategies without manual reallocation.

How maAssets Work

1. Liquidity Contribution – Users deposit ETH, stablecoins, or other assets into Matrix Vaults, receiving maAssets as tokenized receipts.
2. Yield Accumulation – maAssets automatically accrue staking rewards, protocol incentives, and governance yields.
3. DeFi Integration – maAssets can be used for:
   • Lending & borrowing in DeFi markets
   • Yield farming for additional incentives
   • Liquidity provision in AMMs and cross-chain pools
4. Governance Participation – maAsset holders vote on liquidity allocation and protocol incentives.
5. Redemption & Exit – Users can redeem maAssets for the original deposited assets + accrued rewards at the end of a staking campaign.

Key Features

• Yield-Generating – maAssets automatically accrue staking and DeFi rewards.
• Programmable Liquidity – Enables flexible liquidity allocation across different DeFi protocols.
• Cross-Chain Integration – Allows liquidity to move between Ethereum, Layer 2s, and modular blockchains.
• Governance-Backed Utility – Holders influence liquidity distribution through decentralized voting mechanisms.

Benefits of maAssets

• Passive Yield Generation – Earn multiple layers of rewards without manual staking management.
• Cross-Chain Capital Efficiency – Optimizes liquidity allocation without locking assets in a single network.
• DeFi Composability – Can be used as collateral in lending markets, AMMs, and yield farms.
• Governance Control – Enables LPs to vote on liquidity campaigns for higher rewards.

Use Cases of maAssets

1. Automated Yield Strategies – Users deposit ETH into Mitosis Vaults, receive maETH, and use it in DeFi protocols while earning staking rewards.
2. Cross-Chain Yield Farming – maAssets are deployed across multiple blockchains, earning optimized staking yields.
3. Governance-Based Liquidity Allocation – Holders vote on liquidity reallocation, ensuring funds move to high-yield opportunities.
