# Welcome to Celestium Liquidity & Staking

## New in V2

There are three primary ways to provide capital: the primary **Liquidity Pool** and existing legacy staking pools (**Conservative** and **Dynamic**). Providing liquidity is now structured as a bilateral smart-contract arrangement between the provider and independent game operators.

## Liquidity Pool

The Liquidity Pool is the primary infrastructure for new capital provision. It uses an O(1) gas-efficient cumulative accounting model. By depositing tokens, you provide liquidity for independent operators to run games while earning a share of the house edge and fees.

## Conservative Staking

A low-risk option allowing users stake their tokens in pools with predetermined terms and conditions. This type of staking offers predictable and stable returns over time.

Note: Existing conservative pools remain active until their scheduled end dates, but new participation is handled through the Liquidity Pool.

## Dynamic Staking

A higher-risk, higher-reward option where the staking conditions and returns can fluctuate based on the pool's performance and other factors.

Note: Existing dynamic pools remain active until their scheduled end dates, but new participation is handled through the Liquidity Pool.
