DeFi is Dead. Long live DeFi. As DeFi projects, vaults, and curators face increased scrutiny, the best strategies are straightforward and offer transparent yield sources. That's why we launched Suilend Strategies: a one-click solution to put your assets to work - safely. How does it work? Strategies automates what's already possible in the Suilend main market. Users can deposit, adjust, and withdraw - all in one place. Here's how the sSUI/SUI strategy works to let you earn ~11.5% on your SUI (5x the native staking rate): - you deposit SUI - that SUI is staked as sSUI - SUI is borrowed against sSUI and staked for more sSUI - this "loop" is repeated up to 3x "Looping" is a common DeFi strategy. It's a rather low risk strategy here as there isn't oracle risk: the SUI price feed is used for both SUI and sSUI. Where does the yield come from? Yield sources varies by each strategy. For example: sSUI/SUI strategy: - sSUI rewards for depositing sSUI - sSUI rewards for borrowing SUI - sSUI staking yield USDC sSUI/SUI strategy: - sSUI rewards for depositing sSUI - sSUI rewards for borrowing SUI - sSUI staking yield What are the risks? Like all DeFi products, Strategies involve risks, including: - Liquidation Risk: if borrows exceed your borrow power due to interest accruing - Smart Contract Risk: tied to SpringSui-issued LSTs such as sSUI. - Oracle Risk: depending on strategy (doesn't apply to SpringSui LST/SUI Looping strategies) The recent “Black Friday” crash on October 11 served as the ultimate stress test for Suilend Strategies - and no strategy positions were liquidated or affected by the volatility. As we recover from the damage, one thing is clear: DeFi needs to be simple, transparent, and safe. That’s exactly how Suilend Strategies was designed.
