# plsCYPH
A quick reference on [plsASSETs](/products/plsassets.md).
**plsCYPH** is powered by Cypher Industries, an Automated Market Maker (AMM) operating in the Ethereum Layer 1.
With plsCYPH, users **earn xCYPH yield** **while staying liquid**. Additionally, plsCYPH, like all plsASSETs, benefits from **compounding yield** through overcollaterization, **amplifying rewards** over time.
plsCYPH can be pooled into a [LP Token](/products/plsassets.md#liquidity-pool-tokens) via the Plutus [dApp](https://plutus.fi/Pools).
## Rewards
* **Permanent xCYPH Staking**: The underlying xCYPH is staked permanently, and rewards are paid out in generally CYPH or plsCYPH.
* **Note**: Rewards are determined by Cypher Industries and passed directly to plsCYPH stakers. Info on Cypher's protocol earnings [here](https://docs.cyphereth.com/docs/tokenomics/protocol-earnings).
## Fees
Plutus takes a 12% **performance fee** on the underlying **xCYPH yield**. Generally this fee is outweighed by the overcollaterization, resulting in higher net yield for your staked plsCYPH, but the protocol can't guarantee that to be always the case. This fee is used to **overcollaterize** and provide liquidity. Additionally, the fee is taken into account in performance metrics, so what you see is what you get.
## Overcollaterization
Like all other plsASSETs, plsCYPH is an overcollaterized asset, meaning there are more yield-bearing than yield-earning tokens. The level of overcollaterization defines the amount of **extra yield** paid to staked plsCYPH holders from the underlying locked xCYPH.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.plutus.fi/products/plsassets/plscyph.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
