LEO Refinery: How LeoStrategy Mints Onchain Income Products

LeoStrategy is a permanent-capital vehicle that acquires LEO and permanently stakes it on our balance sheet as sLEO. We acquire LEO through the release of assets + ongoing profits generated by our cross-chain market makers.

LeoStrategy's portfolio of assets continues to expand. This has led to a big question: "Why Does LeoStrategy Keep Launching New Assets? ... and how is this possibly sustainable?"

Yesterday, we saw a great Thread which boils what LeoStrategy is doing down to the First Principles.

It's time to take things down to the fundamental physics. If you want to understand the LeoStrategy model and how its sustainable, this is the post for you.

From Volatility to Product Line

If you boil LeoStrategy's business to first principles, you will realize that we are building a LEO Refinery.

What exactly does that mean? It means that we harness LEO's volatility to deliver products that have varying degrees of risk/reward profiles. These products allow users to gain access to things like onchain Bonds (SURGE) or Tokenized RWAs (TTSLA, TGLD, TNVDA).

These products are actually quite simple:

1. We release the product
2. We utilize the raised capital to buy LEO
3. We setup Market Makers to generate daily income
4. We pay yield on the products to hodlers (weekly for SURGE/Daily for the RWAs)

The products have specific risk/reward profiles:

1. SURGE has a $1 floor price + unlimited upside through convertibility to LSTR (acting like a convertible bond)
2. RWAs (like TTSLA, TGLD, TNVDA) have designated correlations (1:100 with their Real-World Asset counterpart) and daily yield which is dictated by a correlation peg policy (as the RWAs trade against their counterpart, the yield is adjusted higher or lower to drive or cool demand - much like a central bank would drive or cool demand for a currency)

• SURGE → Fixed income
• TTSLA → Tesla with daily yield
• TGLD → Gold with daily yield
• TNVDA → Nvidia with daily yield

LEO as the Volatile Reserve Asset: How is Any of This Possible?

This setup is only possible because LEO lives at the heart of it. LEO is the hyper-volatile reserve asset used on LeoStrategy's balance sheet as the pristine onchain collateral backing all LeoStrategy assets.

LEO is a fixed supply asset (no more than 30M can exist - now 29.5M thanks to deflation created by LeoBridges) and it has inflows from LeoDex POL and INLEO SIRP.

By using LEO on our balance sheet, we benefit from the rise of LEO's price over time. We expect LEO to rise at least 100% per year for the next decade. LEO will inevitably have its ups and downs and many users want different onchain assets. Users also want yield and they want to build an income portfolio.

LeoStrategy creates a win-win: you buy whichever LeoStrategy asset(s) scratches your itch (onchain TSLA, onchain GLD, onchain NVDA or a convertible bond like SURGE) and you get the asset profile you want + onchain yield that is predictable and transparent.

Meanwhile, LeoStrategy uses the capital to buy LEO and permanently stake it on our balance sheet. We benefit from LEO's volatility and eventual rise in value while you (the user) get the asset profile you desire.

How the Capital Flows Under the Hood

Let's get into the weeds. Here's how this LEO Refinery operates:

1. You buy SURGE/TTSLA/TGLD/TNVDA
2. LeoStrategy buys LEO and stakes it as sLEO on https://leodex.io/leo

In #1, you get the asset that gives you the risk/reward + yield that you desire.

In #2, LeoStrategy gets more LEO exposure which means more upside/downside as LEO fluctuates in value.

Our bet is that over long timeframes, LEO will perform (100% per year for the next decade). LeoStrategy harnesses this performance to expand our asset portfolio and deliver yield on existing assets + more assets in the future.

Alongside this, the growth in market cap of LEO + all LeoStrategy assets = more Market Maker profits in USD denominations (more expensive assets + more trading volume = higher $ inflows).

Yield Sustainability

The #1 question about LeoStrategy products is "where does the yield come from?"

LeoStrategy has built cross-chain market makers that operate with a moat. This moat comes from a whitelisted lower bridge fee for LEO, LSTR, SURGE, TTSLA, TGLD and TNVDA.

By having a whitelisted lower bridge fee, LeoStrategy is able to market make all of these assets without competition. This allows our market maker to do two things:

1. Bring more efficient pricing for traders
2. Generate daily income for LeoStrategy

Our market makers are a force for good whereas most other market makers are a negative force that try to extract money from users, drive wider spreads and manipulate the market.

For context, traditional electronic market makers like Citadel Securities generate billions in profit every year. Public reporting puts Citadel at around $9.7B in trading revenue and ~$2.7B in net income in a recent year, with roughly $3.7B of net income in just the first nine months of 2025. That’s the scale of ‘volatility refinery’ we’re talking about — and LeoStrategy is building an onchain, transparent version of that model for LEO. Source: Reuters

Create an Onchain Portfolio That Pays You

The problem: asset exposure vs. income.

The solution: LeoStrategy RWAs + yield. All onchain and fully transparent.

LeoStrategy takes on the risk of LEO volatility while you pick whichever asset(s) match your risk/reward desires and get DeFi yield sent to your wallet every day.

We Refine the Chaos, You Choose the Bottle

The Chaos is: LEO

The Bottles are:

• SURGE → Fixed income
• TTSLA → Tesla with daily yield
• TGLD → Gold with daily yield
• TNVDA → Nvidia with daily yield

We harness the chaos (volatility) of LEO and turn it into tokens that deliver a specific risk/reward + yield. Then we HODL the LEO on our balance sheet and let it appreciate 100% per year for the next decade while it pays yield from https://LeoDex.io/leo.

As our asset stack grows, our profit engine (market making) grows. This fuels the yields across LeoStrategy assets and also drives more volume into the cross-chain pools which then leads to more yield for anyone LP'ing (driving more liquidity and a positive feedback loop of more trading volume).
