# UP-staking Strategies

The **UP-staking strategy** directly distributes the UpDeFi protocol revenues to the UP token holders.

## **Strategy Logic**

Users will receive UP token rewards when participating in the auto-compounding and yield-enhancing strategies. At the same time, the user will hand over some of the yields obtained in the two types of strategies to the UpDeFi protocol, and the UpDeFi protocol will distribute these revenues to UP tokens stakers. 

This economic model design ensures the value of UP tokens, which can better motivate users to participate in the auto-compounding and yield-enhancing strategies on the UpDeFi platform.

## **Strategy Operations**

The following are the detailed operations of a strategy:
