In finance, there is a concept called "Capital Efficiency." It measures how hard your money is working for you. If you have $100 and it earns $5 a year, that is low efficiency. If you have

The Layer Cake of Yield
Let’s break down the math of the "Lorenzo Stack." This is what institutional desks are looking at right now.
Layer 1: Asset Appreciation (Beta). You hold Bitcoin. If Bitcoin goes to $150,000, you capture 100% of that upside. This is the base layer.
Layer 2: Consensus Yield (Staking). Through Lorenzo, you stake that Bitcoin to secure the Babylon protocol or other L2s. You earn a "Security Fee" paid in tokens. Let’s estimate this at 5% APY.
Layer 3: DeFi Yield (Liquidity). Lorenzo issues you a Liquid Staking Token (stBTC). You take this token and deposit it into a lending protocol or a liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange. You earn interest or trading fees. Let’s estimate this at another 5% APY.
The Compound Effect
When you stack these layers, you transform Bitcoin from a dormant rock into a cash-flow machine.
A standard HODLer has 1 BTC at the end of the year.
A Lorenzo Staker has 1 BTC + Staking Rewards + DeFi Yield.
Over a 5-year horizon, the difference is massive. Due to the power of compounding, the Lorenzo Staker might end up with 1.5 BTC for every 1 BTC the HODLer owns.
This is the Mathematical Inevitability.
Once a risk-minimized way to earn yield on an asset exists, the market must adopt it. To refuse the yield is to voluntarily lose wealth relative to your peers.
Lorenzo is the tool that allows you to triple-dip on your own capital.
