Lido generates ETH yield from its Proof of Stake (PoS) validator activities on the Ethereum network. Each stETH is backed by 1 ETH. The amount of stETH in circulation will rebase daily as staking rewards are distributed to the Lido validator network. Since some DeFi protocols require a constant token balance, wstETH was created to improve composability. The Lido Protocol utilises an underlying reserve-to-share mechanic whereby the number of stETH that can be redeemed by 1 wstETH will grow over time. The user can wrap or mint new wstETH tokens using the then-current stETH price after which their wstETH balance is fixed. Then the user can deposit the wstETH tokens on other protocols for leverage or additional yield. Users who wish to earn leveraged yield on wstETH via Lido may choose to deposit wstETH into the lov-wstETH vault. The wstETH 14x vault employs a delta-neutral strategy to leverage yield farming returns back to depositors. Depositors of the lov-wstETH Vault will receive a wrapped token (lov-stETH) representing their claim of vault reserve wstETH. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.origami.finance/the-second-fold-v2/collection-and-vault-user-guides/what-are-collections/loveth-collection/wsteth-11x/vault-synopsis.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
