What is Tapio Finance?

Liquidity is crucial within DeFi, and is by far the most significant downstream usecase for LSTs (usually partnered with native ETH), however once you do so and receive the resulting LP token - there isn't much you can do with it and the "liquid" staking journey ends abruptly. Furthermore, we're seeing heavy fragmentation of LST liquidity across the ecosystem, with individual protocols having unique reward handling mechanisms, token models and architectures - leading to an ever growing long-tail.

Enter tapETH - the first utility driven LP token for the LST ecosystem, serving as a liquidity aggregator, and a hub for arbitrages. Fundamentally, it's a rebasing LP token representing various stable pools (which exist within Tapio Finance) between LSTs and ETH such as:

• stETH-ETH

• rETH-ETH

• cbETH-ETH
