How LSD Works
1. User Staking
Connect Solana wallet
Enter SOL amount
Select a Strategy:
Safe Strategy – Capital preservation, low risk
Balanced Strategy – Controlled yield upside
Max Returns Strategy – Higher yield exposure with more risk
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.
