Leverage Staking - Loop Stake

How does Loop Stake work ?

Leveraged staking through Loop Stake performs recursive borrow/lend of DOT/KSM and liquid staking token (vDOT/vKSM) to amplify yields from the user’s initial deposit. Detailed explanation here. Users can deposit LSTs like vDOT/vKSM and borrow DOT/KSM to multiply their returns.

Here’s an example of how leverage staking works:

• Deposit an LST as collateral through Loop Stake
• The program uses the deposited LST to borrow DOT/KSM against the LST up to the user’s intended leverage ratio on Loop Stake
• This effectively gives users a larger notional position size of the LST, which multiplies the base yield for users.

If staking yields exceed the borrow costs, there is a premium from this Loop Stake.
