How plsASSETs work

### Minting plsASSETs

* Liquidity pools (LPs) should be the preferred method for entering plsASSETs, as they offer the most efficient entry. Direct conversion may often result in an immediate loss, so swapping is the smarter option for maximizing value.
* Users may deposit GRAIL, SYK, RDNT, or SPA into Plutus, which are locked forever as xGRAIL, xSYK, RDNT dLP, or veSPA respectively.
* Plutus issues a tokenized representation of the asset as a plsASSET (e.g., plsGRAIL, plsSYK, plsRDNT, or plsSPA).

### Staking plsASSETs

* With plsASSETs, users can achieve exposure to max-locked rewards without locking their tokens. Through a liquid staking derivative, users can exit their plsASSET position for the respective token whenever they wish. With additional incentives beyond the max-locked veASSET yield, plsASSETs provide a more lucrative and liquid alternative than the native option of max-locking an asset. Note that [protocol fees](https://docs.plutus.fi/protocol-fees) are applied to plsASSETs.
* plsASSETs can be [staked](https://plutus.fi/Assets) on Plutus to receive their respective platform's max-locked fees/single stake rewards, PLS emissions, and a portion of yield from Plutus’ Productive Treasury.

### plsASSETs Liquidity Pools

* In the future, Smart LPs will have the ability to mint tokens when the swap ratio exceeds 1:1.
* When launched, users can swap plsSYK for SYK through plsASSETs-ASSET liquidity pools. Swap fees will be determined by Camelot.
* The plsRDNT liquidity pool is live on Balancer.
* Please note that the liquidity pool is not guaranteed to trade 1:1 with the underlying asset. The demand for both the asset and plsASSET determines the ratio of the liquidity pool. Plutus is not responsible for maintaining any ratio.

### Liquidity Pool Tokens

You can also exchange certain ASSET-plsASSET combinations into a LP token through the Plutus [dApp](https://plutus.fi/Pools). The LP token can then be staked for rewards, which come from the same pool as the single stake plsASSET rewards. The exact distribution of the rewards differs between tokens and the state of the swap rates in their corresponding pools. If the swap rates are low, then more of the rewards will be going towards single staking. If the swap rates are good, then the rewards are going towards the staked LP tokens are increased.\

Currently available options are GRAIL-plsGRAIL, SYK-plsSYK, SPA-plsSPA.&#x20;

### plsASSET buybacks

Whenever a plsASSET's swap rate drops, Plutus will buy back some of the plsASSETs. This is done with the underlying tokens, thus providing more liquidity back into the pool. The buyback thresholds differ between products and market conditions but always aim for a 1:1 swap rate. These buybacks then feed into the overcollaterization, described below.

### plsASSET overcollaterization

A key part of plsASSETs is overcollaterization. A portion of the fees are used to acquire plsASSETs off the market, effectively taking them out of circulation. As the underlying assets still yield, but the plsASSET isn't farming rewards, those rewards compound for plsASSET users.

### Discontinued plsASSETs

These plsASSETs are no longer mintable, and liquidity has mostly been removed. However, redemptions are still available, allowing users to convert them back to the underlying assets.
