LRT Farms Are Just Ponzi Pools. Mitosis Turned Them Into Capital Infrastructure.

You see it every day:

Stake your LRT here for 200% APY!

Then what? TVL spikes Emissions bleed Liquidity leaves the second the music stops. Protocols build LRT farms like they’re 2021 food coins. Mitosis said: Why not weaponize LRTs into programmable, regenerative liquidity? The devs said fuck it lets do it:

The Problem: LRTs Are Being Used Like Exit Liquidity

Let’s be honest, LRTs are: • High yield wrappers around ETH.

• Backed by validator performance, not sustainable protocol demand. • Farmed, not used. Every new farm is just a re run of the same game:

Bribe LRT whales → Get TVL → Pray they stay → They don't.

It’s mercenary DeFi 101. Protocols aren’t building relationships. They’re buying attention.

The Mitosis Approach: LRTs as Modular Economic Units

Mitosis doesn’t farm LRTs. It synthesizes them into capital infrastructure: • LRTs become miAssets the base layer of the Mitosis economic stack. • They’re converted into maAssets, composable cross chain liquidity. • Routed via SynthCells into yield strategies, Matrix, and EOL vaults Every move is tracked, governed, and optimized No mercenaries, Just smart liquidity that works for the network.

Why It Works

1. No Dumping Pressure: miAssets don’t get farmed + dumped. They’re locked into real strategy layers. 2. No double wrap risk: You don’t wrap a wrapped LRT. You synthesize it into something native. 3. Cross Chain Native: LRTs become portable. Not stuck on Ethereum, not isolated. 4. Aligned Incentives: Protocols that host MLFs or use Mitosis liquidity accrue MITO Points, not just TVL. 5. Flywheel Ready: As usage grows, demand for miAssets grows → driving more demand for underlying LRTs → driving TVL into the SynthCell → spinning the flywheel again.

Reality Check: Most LRT Strategies Are Exit Liquidity

Protocols say they’re supporting LRTs. In reality, they’re extracting from them. Mitosis is the only system that: • Treats LRTs as first class collateral. • Builds a real cross chain allocator around them. • Rewards protocols that host and deploy LRT based liquidity correctly It doesn’t farm LRTs, It evolves them.

Final Take: If You're Still Farming LRTs, You're Already Outdated

LRTs are the new stETH. Don’t farm them, Build with them. Mitosis is doing for LRTs what Curve did for stablecoins but this time, it’s not just about incentives. It’s about a programmable liquidity system that: Uses them, grows them, shares ownership of the network they power. TVL chasers are playing checkers. Mitosis is writing the rules for chess.
