loopedETH Overview

Maximize ETH yield via an automated looping strategy.

loopedETH (LETH) is an automated looping protocol that maximizes yield on staked ETH.

We power up your Ethereum staking with our automated looping strategy. Just deposit your lsETH to receive LETH (upcoming support for ETH and stETH). Our AutoLoop mechanism is custom-designed to boost your yields, going beyond the usual rewards from traditional staking.

What is LETH?

LETH is a pioneering Liquid Looping Token (LLT) aka. a digital receipt for your deposited ETH, encapsulating your staked assets. By staking with LETH, you not only earn the usual network staking rewards but also benefit from double if not triple the yields through our AutoLoop strategy.

For a clear guide on how LoopedETH works and how to get started, check out our resources:

Early Adopter Program

The loopedETH Early Adopter Program is a time-based initiative with limited capacity, offering enhanced rewards for early participants.

Applications for Phase 1 of the program will be live until launch. Members who join earlier will be eligible for higher reward tiers, with participation opportunities decreasing as capacity fills.

The program is structured to benefit to unify liquidity across the loopedETH ecosystem, benefiting Stakers, Protocols and Validators.

How LETH works

A Liquid Looping Token that utilizes an automated looping strategy to generate a higher yield for stakers on Ethereum.

Example:

  1. A whitelisted user deposits 200 ETH and receives ~200 newly-minted LETH in return, minus the gas & execution fees to execute the transaction.

  2. Slippage & execution fees are included in the price when minting & redeeming. loopedETH earns no profit from the minting or redeeming of LETH.

The Risk Curator oversees , which stakes the underlying ETH into a Liquid Staking Protocol (i.e Liquid Collective), receives lsETH, then supplies it to a decentralized lending protocol, borrows ETH against lsETH, and stakes ETH again. This strategy is recursively executed up to 15x.

The Risk Curator calibrates to rebalance the position daily. Based on the current market conditions, the multiplier is adjusted for the most efficient and safest looping strategy.

AutoLoopâ„¢

An automated looping strategy to maximize ETH yield

AutoLoop maximizes ETH yield by strategically looping ETH staking. It borrows ETH against LETH and stakes the additional ETH back into the loop, optimizing yield efficiency through recursive staking. Depending on staking APY and borrow rates, this process can be repeated between 3x-15x.

AutoLoop dynamically adjusts the loop multiplier to achieve the best risk-adjusted yield. The system rebalances once a day, optimizing efficiency while ensuring safe deleveraging when needed. This allows LETH holders to benefit from the most efficient looping strategy while maintaining security and stability.

Key Features of AutoLoop

  • Real-Time Monitoring

    • Tracks staking APYs, borrowing rates, and ETH market conditions throughout the day.

    • Collects data to prepare for daily rebalancing.

  • Unified Multipliers

    • All vault participants use the same leverage settings, simplifying strategy execution.

    • Ensures consistent and fair returns for all users.

  • Risk Management

    • Automatic deleveraging if loan-to-value (LTV) ratios exceed safe thresholds.

    • Circuit breakers prevent new loops during extreme market conditions.

    • Gradual unwinding reduces liquidation risk.

    • Maintains exchange parity to prevent depeg risks.


How It Works

  1. Data Collection

    • AutoLoop fetches real-time ETH price feeds, staking APYs, and borrowing rates daily.

    • It compares LTV ratios to staking and borrowing spreads to determine the optimal strategy.

  2. Decision Logic

    • Leverage Up: If staking yields exceed borrowing costs, AutoLoop borrows more ETH and stakes again.

    • Leverage Down: If borrowing rates increase or LETH value drops, AutoLoop repays loans or unstakes ETH to reduce risk.

  3. Daily Rebalancing

    • At a fixed time each day, AutoLoop updates the vault’s multiplier to ensure all depositors benefit from optimal settings.


Usage Flow

  • Vault Deposit: Simply deposit ETH, and AutoLoop starts optimizing yield automatically.

  • Automated Management: Daily rebalancing occurs without any user intervention.

  • Visibility & Alerts: Users receive notifications if AutoLoop detects abnormal market volatility.


Conclusion AutoLoop handles leveraged staking seamlessly—adjusting multipliers, rebalancing daily, and ensuring optimal yield while protecting capital. With real-time monitoring and automated risk controls, loopedETH users can maximize returns with confidence, regardless of market conditions.

Tax Reports

LETH is a value-accruing token based on the tax-friendly cToken model.

loopedETH’s Protocol Conversion Rate, the internal rate that governs how LETH is valued compared to ETH at minting and redemption, programmatically changes over time to accurately represent the value of staked ETH and accumulated rewards.

loopedETH's Protocol Conversion Rate, set automatically at the protocol level, operates independently from any market trading rates of LETH. Tax & Accounting Reports can be requested at info@loopedeth.com for any staked amounts of $1m+

How to Deposit

LETH tokens are minted upon deposit and burned when redeemed.

During Phase 1, loopedETH only accepts lsETH deposits. In future phases, ETH, wstETH and USDC will also be accepted as collateral.

Deposited assets are staked and deployed into "AutoLoop", loopedETH's automated looping strategy.

Security & Risk Framework

LoopedETH adheres to institutional-grade security by combining robust protocols, multi-layer oversight, and swift emergency response.

  1. Protocol Security Measures

  • Integration is limited to protocols thoroughly audited and approved by the strategy committee.

  • Real-time monitoring catches anomalies immediately, triggering an emergency response within 30 minutes.

  • We only integrate protocols with direct partnerships to ensure clear communication and reliable oversight.

  1. Strategy Security Measures

  • Every proposed strategy is formally reviewed and approved by the committee prior to deployment.

  • We eliminate depeg risks by relying exclusively on lending protocols that use on-chain exchange ratios.

  • No dollar-based leverage is employed, reducing exposure to currency fluctuations.

  1. Operational Security Measures

  • Ultimate custody of user funds remains within the smart contract, preventing any external party from accessing assets.

  • Updates to vault configurations require a multi-signature process, involving team members from both Nucleus and Staking Rewards.

  • Every signatory must remain accessible within a 30-minute window for timely execution of critical changes.

  • The Risk Curator has only access to whitelisted smart contract functions from the Strategy Committee, and never has access to any funds.
