# Liquid Staking

{% hint style="info" %}
The LST Strategy is still in its earlier live phases where we are fine tuning and exploring what works best in live markets.
{% endhint %}

Investor‑friendly overview: Designed for asset pairs with gradual expected appreciation between the assets (e.g., LST with native). The strategy aims to accumulate the appreciating asset over time while staying active near price to capture usage fees.

## Ideal Applications <a href="#ideal-applications" id="ideal-applications"></a>

Any asset pairing where there is gradual expected rate of appreciation between the assets can be suitable for this strategy.

## Overview of Mechanics

* Maintains active liquidity near current price to capture fees
* Gradually tilts holdings toward the appreciating asset when signal and inventory allow
* Uses wider placements when one‑sided to protect scarce inventory while remaining active

## Technical Explanation

Positions are centered near price with limited, rules‑based shifts in range and weight to favor the appreciating asset when inventories are imbalanced
