Reserve Strategies#
Treasury assets are not idle. The SLOHM protocol deploys capital across a diversified set of yield-generating strategies, turning bonded assets into productive capital. The yield generated funds staking rewards, strengthens the reserve floor, and compounds the treasury's growth over time.
Overview#
Every asset bonded into the treasury becomes part of a working reserve. Rather than holding assets passively, the protocol actively deploys capital across strategies designed to generate consistent returns. This is what makes SLOHM a productive reserve protocol. The treasury doesn't just back the token supply, it grows the backing.
Yield flows back into the reserve through two channels:
- Staking rewards. A portion of yield is distributed to stakers via rebase distributions, rewarding participants who commit their tokens to the protocol.
- Reserve accumulation. The remaining yield compounds within the treasury, increasing the reserve floor, the minimum backing per SLOHM token.
This dual-channel model ensures that both active participants (stakers) and passive holders benefit from the treasury's productive deployment.
Active Strategies at Launch#
The protocol launches with three core yield strategies, each targeting a different source of return within the OPNet and Bitcoin L1 ecosystem.
Liquidity Provision#
The treasury provides liquidity to decentralized trading pairs on OPNet. By deploying assets into liquidity pools, the protocol earns trading fees generated from on-chain swaps. Liquidity provision serves a dual purpose: it generates yield for the reserve and ensures deep markets for SLOHM trading, reducing slippage for all participants.
Asset Staking#
Treasury-held assets that support staking are deployed to their respective staking contracts. This captures native yield from other protocols and networks without taking on additional risk beyond what the treasury already holds. Staking rewards from these external positions compound directly into the reserve.

Future Strategies#
The protocol is designed to accommodate additional yield strategies as the OPNet ecosystem matures and new opportunities emerge. Future strategies will be evaluated based on:
- Risk profile. Capital preservation remains the priority. New strategies must demonstrate acceptable risk-adjusted returns before deployment.
- Composability. Strategies that integrate with the broader OPNet ecosystem are preferred, as they strengthen the network effects that benefit the protocol.
- Transparency. All strategy deployments and their performance are visible on-chain. New strategies will follow the same transparency standards as the launch strategies.
Additional strategies will be announced as they are evaluated and approved. The protocol's reserve management is designed to grow alongside the ecosystem it operates in.
