# Liquidity Staking Options

Liquidity Staking Options (LSO) reward users who stake into DIPs.\
\
LSOs represent a major improvement to existing crypto liquidity mining schemes, which reward users directly with tokens causing token inflation and encourage mercenary capital purely focused on farming and selling tokens.\
\
By applying Staking Options to this problem, users are still incentivized through token upside but if the rewards go unexercised the token does not inflate supply.

* Maturity Ratio = 1, DIP expiration & LSO expiration are the same date and time
* Strike Prices = 0.001 step size from 0.026 to 0.03
