What is Liquid Looping?
Liquid Looping is a DeFi primitive that supercharges staking by “looping” your assets through liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and lending protocols. Instead of a single stake, your deposit is recursively staked—stake, borrow, re-stake, repeat—achieving significantly higher yields with marginally higher risk than direct staking.
How it works
Deposit your native token (HYPE, ETH, etc.).
Mint an LLT to track your position.
Loop automatically: stake → borrow → re-stake → repeat.
Accrue value: each loop automatically compounds your exposure.
Why it matters
Higher yield – outperforms basic (liquid) staking
Farming multiplier – earn up to 5× points in underlying DeFi protocols
Full liquidity – swap LLTs anytime
Extra utility – use LLTs as collateral for leverage or other DeFi strategies
Hands-off compounding – set it and forget it
In short, Liquid Looping turns plain staking into a self-driving, yield-amplifying engine, while keeping your funds liquid through LLTs.
