MARA introduces a distinctive feature - the parallel generation of yield from both CeFi and DeFi. Users can earn original CeFi yield while utilizing LSD for BTC staking and on-chain farming, a process known as restaking in Bitcoin. This ecosystem offers three types of yield for Bitcoin holders: Original Cefi yield, node operation rewards from staking BTC on the MARA chain, and opportunity yield from participating in on-chain applications and the MARA Launchpad.
MARA presents a transformative infrastructure that orchestrates the flow of Bitcoin assets within a CeFi+DeFi hybrid financial system. Designed to enhance the Total Value Locked (TVL) within its ecosystem, MARA leverages the robust security of centralized finance (CeFi) and the versatile, yield-generating opportunities of decentralized finance (DeFi). Here is a walkthrough of the user journey within MARA’s TVL attraction infrastructure:
CeFi Regulated Custody: The deposited assets are transferred to Mainnet Digital’s custody, a regulated entity that ensures the highest standards of security and compliance, safeguarding the integrity of MARA’s TVL. For participating, you will receive BBTC/BBUSD as a voucher, acknowledging your contribution to the ecosystem’s liquidity.
Asset Management Diversification: With this commitment, you are granted access to a selection of asset management services, each with unique strategies and tailored incentive plans. You can choose to engage with these services and simultaneously bridge your BBTC/BBUSD to MARA's Layer 1. Details of the strategies and their perks can be found on the Asset Management page.
Token Bridging: Cross your Liquid Custody Tokens (LCT) tokens over to the MARA chain, integrating them into the broader MARA ecosystem.
Staking and Ecosystem Engagement: Finally, stake your BTC tokens within the MARA network by allocating them to validator nodes and get stBBTC back as LSD, or use them to participate in on-chain ecosystem projects, thereby contributing to and benefiting from the network’s growth and success.
MARA’s infrastructure is meticulously architected to elevate Bitcoin’s status from a passive asset to an active, yield-generating instrument. By offering an integrated platform where Bitcoin holders can capitalize on the strengths of both CeFi and DeFi, MARA is pioneering a new chapter in asset optimization and financial innovation within the blockchain space.
