Steer Protocol's Smart Bonds
A Sustainable Liquidity Solution for Protocols and Blockchains
From Bonds to POL
Smart Bonds offer an innovative approach to liquidity management in DeFi. By transforming bonds into Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL), Smart Bonds offers a cost-effective and more sustainable alternative to traditional liquidity mining strategies. Our solution focuses on creating strategic pairings and enhancing liquidity pools, particularly for tokens like XTOKEN, paired with assets like USDC. This initiative is aimed at not only simplifying liquidity strategies but also at reinforcing long-term asset stability and growth.

How It Works
Our approach for enhancing liquidity strategies through our collaboration with Bond Protocol is streamlined into clear steps, offering a distinct alternative to traditional LP incentive campaigns. Below is a table outlining the process and key differences:
| Step # | Steer Protocol Process | Traditional Incentive Campaigns |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Strategy Formation | Protocols and DAOs establish specific pairings, e.g., XTOKEN-USDC, based on strategic objectives. | Rewards are emitted to LPs based on general participation, often without a focused strategy. |
| 2. LP Token Purchase | Direct purchase of LP tokens from Steer, representing a combination of chosen assets | LPs provide liquidity in exchange for rewards, with no direct token purchase involved. |
| 3. Enhanced Liquidity | Enhanced liquidity through a sustainable alignment with token holders' interests. | Traditional methods may lead to "rented liquidity," which dissipates once incentives cease. |
| 4. Revenue Generation | Locked liquidity within the treasury creates a continuous revenue stream through transaction fees. | Liquidity is often not utilized as a revenue source but merely as a means to stabilize the token. |
| 5. Long-term Stability | Focus on long-term stability and growth of the liquidity pool. | Short-term focus with liquidity often fluctuates based on ongoing incentives. |
