Smart Arbitrage with staking

What is a Smart Arbitrage Strategy?

A smart arbitrage strategy is a method aimed at achieving stable profits by hedging against market price fluctuations. Its core principle is to use a Delta-neutral strategy, which involves holding positions of equal size but opposite direction in the spot market and the perpetual swap market to hedge against price changes.
Specifically, the smart arbitrage strategy involves buying (long) a certain crypto in the spot market while simultaneously selling (short) the same quantity of that crypto in the perpetual swap market. This way, regardless of how market prices fluctuate, the gains and losses of these two positions can offset each other, thereby reducing the risk brought about by price volatility. Users mainly achieve profits through the funding fees collected during the holding period (such as the gains under a positive funding rate). Learn more

What is Smart Arbitrage with Staking Rewards?

Smart Arbitrage with Staking Rewards combines traditional arbitrage strategies with staking income. It allows users to earn additional staking rewards by staking spot assets such as OKSOL or BETH while engaging in spot long and futures short arbitrage. This approach enables more efficient capital utilization and maximizes investment returns. For example, if the current reference APY for arbitrage is 5% and staking is 10%, the combined reference APY after enabling staking can reach up to 15%.
