EtherKEY Protocol

The EtherKEY protocol provides you with the benefits of earning passive income through staking while retaining the liquidity of your assets. Traditionally, your funds are locked up and cannot be used for anything during the lock-up. Through liquidity shorting, your liquidity is returned to you through derivative instruments, hence called liquidity shorting derivative instruments. Such liquidity enables you to continue earning passive income while ensuring flexibility for you to explore other DeFi opportunities with the derivative tokens.

However, like in any financial endeavor, many individuals prefer not to actively manage their investment portfolios. This could be due to a lack of education to make informed decisions or a desire to focus their time elsewhere. Nonetheless, the EtherKEY protocol operates similarly to an equity investment technique employed by investment management groups. Acting as an intermediary, the protocol diversifies funds into liquidity equity protocols through the smart contract, automatically analyzing and reviewing the best potential yield options.

Our main objective is to preserve the decentralization of the Ethereum network while innovating based on the existing LSD protocol. Following the Shanghai upgrade, the reserve rate of the total ETH circulation will see a significant increase. Investors will seek various protocols and platforms that can provide this service. To maintain decentralization, we cannot allow a single protocol or platform to manage the majority of the ETH supply because it would theoretically eliminate the network's decentralization, enabling one party or a small group of parties to control the entire network.

EtherKEY aims to offer you a stable passive income while maintaining your liquidity. However, our ultimate objective is to enhance the security of the blockchain and shield it from centralization risks. Our core mission is not only to innovate and promote the adoption of the LSD protocol but also to safeguard the decentralization of the network. We strongly urge you to explore the remaining sections of this document. Nonetheless, if you choose not to, please at least remember this sentence:

The evolution of DeFi and passive income opportunities have paved the way for the staking era on the upcoming ETH network. Companies that offer platforms to manage, implement, and innovate these services are poised for substantial growth in 2023 and beyond while reducing the risk of a single entity holding excessive control over the network.
