Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs)

Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs) are tokenized representations of staked assets that allow users to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity. Unlike traditional staking, where assets are locked and inaccessible for a set period, LSDs provide a liquid alternative, enabling users to trade, lend, or use staked assets in decentralized finance

Liquidity Provider Yield (LP Yield)

LP Yield refers to the earnings generated by Liquidity Providers (LPs) who deposit assets into liquidity pools on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. LPs earn yield in the form of trading fees, incentive rewards, governance tokens, or staking yields, depending on the protocol. LP yield is a key driver of capital

Liquid Restaking

Liquid Restaking is a blockchain mechanism that allows users to extend the utility of their staked assets by restaking them across multiple protocols while maintaining liquidity. Unlike traditional staking, where assets are locked and unusable until the staking period ends, liquid restaking enables users to earn rewards while simultaneously using

Programmable Liquidity

In decentralized finance (DeFi), programmable liquidity is integral to automated market makers (AMMs), lending protocols, and cross-chain liquidity solutions, enhancing capital efficiency and reducing fragmentation. Projects like Mitosis utilize programmable liquidity to optimize liquidity allocation across multiple chains, ensuring seamless capital efficiency in a modular blockchain ecosystem. How Programmable Liquidity

Rollups

Rollups are Layer 2 scalability solutions designed to increase the transaction throughput of blockchain networks while maintaining security by offloading most of the computational work to a secondary layer. Rollups process transactions off-chain and submit either transaction data or cryptographic proofs back to the Layer 1 blockchain, such as Ethereum,

Omni-sourced yield

Omni-sourced yield refers to the generation of returns through decentralized finance (DeFi) strategies that leverage multiple sources or ecosystems simultaneously. This concept involves aggregating yield from a variety of platforms, protocols, or blockchains to optimize the overall return on assets. The "omni" in omni-sourced yield emphasizes the cross-platform

Fair Market Liquidity

Fair Market Liquidity refers to the availability of assets for trading or transactions in a decentralized finance (DeFi) or traditional financial market, where liquidity is distributed and priced in a way that reflects market conditions without distortion from external factors such as manipulation or concentrated ownership. It ensures that participants
