Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

So this is different.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

Like if I was to position REs, it's like we tried to really make it available for anyone.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

And there is a mixture of funds and there's a mixture of smaller REs holders in there.

This vault is squarely targeted institutions.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

And so it's called the RockSolid, it's a long name, RockSolid Auto Plus Loot ETH Vault.

Web3 with Sam Kamani

And it's in conjunction with Peer2.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

So Peer2 are a Ethereum node operator.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

Actually, they operate on multiple nodes.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

But specifically, this is targeted at institutions that have ETH and that stake ETH.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

And so they've already moved like the first step on the risk curve, but they're ready to take that next step into earning a greater than staking reward.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

So like looking for more than two and a half percent, but, you know, really need their first entry into DeFi to be constrained.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

Like they're not looking for 10 different strategies and the latest L2 and the latest protocol and farming a token.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

That's not what they want.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

And so what this is, is a single strategy vault.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

It's leveraged staking.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

So it's deposit ETH to the vault.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

That goes, and I'll talk about the how in a second, but that goes to peer two.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

We're able to then use that staked ETH on those validators as collateral to mint more ETH to stake it.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

more and continue.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
356: Leverage, Liquidity & The Future of ETH Staking with Guest Speaker Steven Pack from RockSolid

And so we leverage up the vault.
