# Getting Started With Fluid Lite

Fluid Lite is an all-in-one yield platform built on Instadapp’s DeFi Smart Layer, created to make earning optimized ETH and stablecoin yields simple for everyone. It brings advanced strategies, such as leveraged staking, automated yield optimization, and cross-protocol liquidity routing - into a single, easy-to-use interface, removing the need for deep DeFi expertise while maximizing capital efficiency.

## How Fluid Lite Works

You deposit your asset (USDC or ETH/stETH), and the vaults automatically boosts your yield by:

* Supplying your asset to lending markets.
* Borrowing against it.
* Swapping and re-depositing (looping).
* Auto-compounding
* Managing risk 24/7

No manual actions or active management required.
