# 2.2 Growth Mode #### Capturing Upside Growth Mode is the default state of the protocol during stable or bullish market conditions. In this state, the objective is to maximize exposure to the underlying native asset while generating additional passive yield. #### Asset Composition When in Growth Mode, 100% of the user's deposit within the specific vault is allocated to the volatile asset. This ensures that if the market price increases, the user's deposit value increases linearly with the market. #### Yield Generation Stratos does not let capital sit idle. While in Growth Mode, the underlying assets are deployed into low-risk, liquidity-based strategies to earn yield. * **Liquid Staking:** Assets may be routed to liquid staking protocols to earn validator rewards. * **Lending Markets:** Assets may be supplied to over-collateralized lending markets to earn supply APY. All yield generated in this mode is auto-compounded, meaning it is added to the principal balance rather than paid out as a separate claimable reward. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
