Having been on the USD1 liquidity pool path for three years, the first two mainly involved busy work. Every day, I would wake up and focus on the staking rewards of slisBNB, pondering how much I could earn by participating in the IPO with clisBNB, and constantly trying to buy the dip and sell the top of LISTA for swings. I kept adjusting the allocation ratios of the three types of rights, but whenever the market had a correction, everything would reset to zero. The annualized return was stuck at 35%-40%. The more I watched the market, the more anxious I became, and the more frequently I operated, the less confident I felt.

The turning point came after an ecosystem rule adjustment forced me to clear out a large portion of my positions. At that moment, I suddenly realized—my previous approach was not really about operation, but just exploiting rights for quick gains. I had treated slisBNB, clisBNB, and LISTA as three separate profit lines, never considering that they are actually part of the same whole with the USD1 liquidity pool and ListaDAO, and should work together to achieve mutual success.

The logic of ecosystem symbiosis is actually very simple: it’s not just about randomly combining the three types of rights. The key is to create a closed loop with the liquidity pool and the entire ecosystem—mutually supporting each other, dynamically adjusting, and growing together. How does it work specifically?

slisBNB’s main role is to maintain liquidity stability. The ecosystem values your contribution and real-time rewards you accordingly; clisBNB activates trading, and the ecosystem, in turn, gives you credit weighting to enhance your asset value; LISTA grants governance rights, and the larger the ecosystem, the faster your rights appreciate; the liquidity pool itself acts as a central hub, connecting these three rights to form positive feedback.

What are the benefits of thinking this way? You no longer need to watch the market daily for short-term judgments. Instead, you can focus on how to maximize the utility of your rights within the ecosystem. Returns are no longer just short-term swings, but come from the growth of the ecosystem itself and the rising value of your rights.
