How LSD Works

1. User Staking

  1. Connect Solana wallet

  2. Enter SOL amount

  3. Select a Strategy:

    • Safe Strategy – Capital preservation, low risk

    • Balanced Strategy – Controlled yield upside

    • Max Returns Strategy – Higher yield exposure with more risk

  4. Confirm stake → lsdSOL is minted

lsdSOL represents a share of the pooled SOL.

2. Strategy Aggregation

Instead of per-user allocation, LSD uses quadratic aggregation to determine which strategy the entire pool follows:

  • More participants = more influence

  • A small number of large deposits cannot override many smaller ones

Example:

  • 1 user with 50 SOL chooses Safe Strategy

  • 10 users with 5 SOL choose Max Returns Strategy

    → Max Returns Strategy wins

3. AI Analysis & Allocation

AI (ASI) scores integrated protocols based on:

  • TVL

  • On-chain performance

  • Yield history

  • Incentives & token potential

  • Risk metrics

It generates risk-reward scores and recommends allocation percentages within strategy limits:

  • Safe: 100% to high-TVL, proven protocols

  • Balanced: ≤30% to higher yield, rest to safer protocols

  • Max Returns: ≤50% to higher yield/incentive sources

ASI recommendations are advisory; execution is handled by smart contracts.

4. Rebalancing

SOL allocations are rebalanced once per Solana epoch (~2–3 days).

This ensures disciplined adjustment without over-trading.

Unstaking Mechanics

  • Standard Unstake:

    Burn lsdSOL → 1 epoch cooldown → claim SOL

  • Instant Unstake:

    Immediate SOL return with 1% fee

No deposit fee.
