### Where are funds invested? <a href="#strategies-information" id="strategies-information"></a>

Lince invests funds under management **across multiple protocols** on the Solana blockchain using various investment methods.

Our algorithm **measures the yields and risks of each protocol and diversifies the funds across them to help you earn the most**, always under the criteria of the strategy you selected. All funds from users with the same strategy profile are managed collectively.

Next, you can **see the different investment methods and the protocols in which they are executed**.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Lending" %}
**We lend funds to other DeFi users, who pay us yields based on borrowing demand. Borrowers deposit collateral, so there's no risk.**

Protocols used for Lending:\
Kamino, Marginfi, Carrot, Drift, Save, Defituna and Jupiter.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Liquidity" %}
**Decentralized Exchanges require Liquidity Providers to support traders. These protocols have a trading fee, which is paid to liquidity providers, like us.**

Protocols used for Liquidity:\
Raydium, Orca, Meteora, Jupiter Perps,  Kamino, Drift, Flash Trade, Rate X, Exponent, Stabble and Huma.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Staking" %}
**Several cryptocurrencies can be deposited to get a yield in return. For example, we can stake SOL (Solana) to contribute to Blockchain Security and be rewarded with more SOL.**

Protocols used for Staking:\
Jito, Marinade, Sanctum, Jupiter, Fragmetric and Adastrea.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Arbitrage" %}
**Arbitrage seeks to profit from price differences across different DeFi platforms.**\
We automatically detect when the same asset (e.g., USDC) trades at different prices on various decentralized exchanges and execute trades to capture that spread.

Protocols used for Arbitrage:\
Elemental, Neutral Trade, Vectis, Gauntlet and Synatra.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Loops" %}
**On Loops, we use yielding funds as collateral to borrow and reinvest more in them, multiplying the yield.**

Protocols used for Loops:\
Kamino, Marginfi, Drift, Neutral Trade, Loopscale and Adastrea.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Hedge" %}
**On Hedge, we use advanced investment methods, such as derivatives, to control and obtain the desired exposure to certain assets.**&#x20;

Protocols used for Hedge:\
Drift, Perena, Neutral Trade, Gauntlet, Vectis, Synatra and Elemental
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

For example, for Sentinel (Low Risk, No exposure), your funds might be allocated to a stablecoin-based yield strategy with 70% allocated to lending and 30% to liquidity across six protocols.

Lince takes a 1% annual management fee and a 0.1% redemption fee.
