From Leo Accumulation to Tokenized Assets on Hive and Base
Introduction:
LeoStrategy, a notable project within the LeoFinance ecosystem on the Hive blockchain, has rapidly evolved its suite of investment vehicles. Initially mirroring the Bitcoin accumulation strategy of MicroStrategy by focusing on its own LEO token, LeoStrategy has transitioned into a sophisticated "LEO Refinery," creating diverse financial products that offer yield and exposure to real-world assets (RWAs).
Evolution
This evolution from simple yield tokens to complex synthetic assets showcases a deliberate strategy aimed at permanent LEO accumulation, onboarding external capital via the Base blockchain, and redefining what is possible in decentralized finance.
Expansion
LeoStrategy has expanded its offerings from initial token-based strategies to a more diverse range of financial products. This expansion includes exploring new ways to provide value and utility within the LeoFinance ecosystem. The development of different token models and strategies demonstrates the project's efforts to innovate and adapt within the decentralized finance space. This evolution aims to enhance the project's ability to attract and retain capital, contributing to the broader growth of the ecosystem.
The changes
The evolution of LeoStrategy's tokens represents a strategic shift from simple, HBD-yielding assets to more complex, sophisticated investment vehicles that track real-world assets (RWAs). Each iteration builds upon the previous one, introducing new features, better capital efficiency, and broader market reach.
1. SURGE: The Foundation of Stable Yield
SURGE was LeoStrategy's initial financial product, focused primarily on stability and a high fixed yield to compete with Hive's native stablecoin (HBD).
Key Features:
Fixed Income: Offered a consistent yield (around 15-19% APR) paid weekly in HBD.
Downside Protection: Maintained a floor price of $1 via the LeoStrategy treasury policy, ensuring capital preservation.
Liquidity: No unstaking period was required to earn yield or sell the token, a major improvement over HBD's 3.5-day lockup.
Future Upside: Allowed conversion to LSTR at a fixed ratio (50 SURGE for 1 LSTR) when LSTR prices made it economically viable, offering speculative upside.
Improvement Over Previous Models: SURGE introduced the concept of a hybrid token offering stability, passive income, and potential future speculation, with immediate liquidity and a clear, high yield.
2. TTSLA: Introducing Real-World Assets (RWA) and Policy Pegs
TTSLA marked a significant strategic shift by tokenizing exposure to Tesla stock (TSLA) as a Real-World Asset (RWA). This asset improved the model by introducing exposure to external market movements and a more dynamic peg mechanism.
Key Improvements:
RWA Exposure: Gave investors on Hive and Base exposure to TSLA stock price movements on a 1:100 basis, which SURGE did not offer.
Dynamic Rate Policy: Instead of a simple fixed yield, TTSLA uses a "policy peg" with variable yield adjustments. If the token trades below its target price, the yield increases to attract buyers and stabilize the price; if it trades above, yield policy cools demand.
Daily Yield: Payments were adjusted from weekly to daily payouts, enhancing payout frequency.
Enhanced Collateralization: The underlying LEO collateral model became more sophisticated, with all RWA tokens overcollateralized by LEO on the balance sheet.
3. TGLD: Stacking Features and Permanent Incentives
TGLD (Tokenized Gold) further refined the RWA model by adding unique, long-term incentives for presale participants that were not present in previous tokens.
Key Improvements:
Permanent Yield Boosts: Presale buyers received additive APR boosts that last for the lifetime of the holder (until they unstake), a powerful retention mechanism beyond what SURGE or base TTSLA offered.
Liquidity Provider Incentives: TGLD offered additional APR boosts for users who provided liquidity on the Base blockchain.
Cross-Chain Market Making: TGLD was integrated into the existing market-making stack (alongside LEO, LSTR, SURGE, TTSLA), which further diversified and increased the overall profitability of the entire LeoStrategy operation. The profits generated from this cross-chain arbitrage directly fund the daily yield payments, ensuring sustainability.
4. TGLD Manager
@TLDG.yield
Every hour, TGLD Manager posts a top-level thread that showcases the current TGLD Price, Deviation and Correlation.
You will also see the weekly expected Rate Policy get published based on the 3D Moving Average of TGLD's Price relative to GLD's price.
If the correlation deviates from the 1:100 GLD:TGLD peg, then the APR for hodling TGLD will increase (ranges from 3% min to 20% max).
If you buy the TGLD Presale and lock in a +8% APR Boost, then you will get 11% to 28% APR (since the boosts are additive).
Rate Policy Meetings (Every Monday)
Every Monday (identically to TTSLA mechanics), TGLD Manager holds a rate policy meeting.
In this meeting (much like a FED Policy meeting), TGLD Manager's AI analyzes the 3D Moving Average for TGLD.
If the 3D Moving Average of the 1:100 GLD:TGLD peg is deviating from its target correlation of 1:100, then TGLD Manager will increase the yield for TGLD Buyers.
This dynamic peg policy mechanism is designed to;
Increase demand when TGLD is trading cheaply to GLD
Cool demand when TGLD is trading in lock-step with GLD
Yield Payouts
TTSLA is already live and paying daily yield payouts to hodlers.
TGLD will follow suit and work identically to this - paying TGLD holders a daily APR based on the correlation of GLD:TGLD.
Tracked transparently onchain every hour by @tgld.yield
Every day, Yield Payouts are sent by TGLD Manager.
These yield payouts will start on November 24th - when the presale is over.
On November 24th, you will start receiving daily yield payouts on both Hive-Engine and Base (depending on where you hold your TGLD).
You can use TGLD Manager to decide how you want your yield. The available options are:
Stablecoins (HBD or USDC if you hold on Hive or Base, respectively)
TGLD (Autocompounding)
LSTR (Equity shares in LeoStrategy's Fund)
How to Use TGLD Manager
Since we are on Hive, your Hive-Engine wallet is automatically connected to TGLD Manager. Just use the onchain commands via Threads to prompt various track & management actions available.
If you have TGLD on Base, you can use the Base Connect feature we developed to connect your Base wallet to your INLEO Account.
This allows you to track & manage your Base TGLD position directly on INLEO.
Use "!tgld help" at any time to get a list of commands.
Manage Your Yield Preferences
At any time, you can manage your TGLD Yield Preferences using the yield preference commands for either Hive or Base:
Using these commands will set your yield preferences and take immediate effect.
Your yield preferences can be changed at any time using the same list of commands.
Summary of Evolution
The tokens evolved from a stable, high-yield stablecoin alternative (SURGE) to sophisticated synthetic RWA tokens (TTSLA, TGLD) that offer:
Market Exposure: Moving beyond a flat $1 value to track volatile, high-value assets like Tesla stock and Gold.
Dynamic Pricing:
Implementing a policy-rate mechanism that actively manages the correlation with the underlying asset through variable yields, which is more robust than simple algorithmic pegs.
Enhanced Profitability & Sustainability:
Leveraging cross-chain market making across all five assets to generate the profits needed for yields, making the entire ecosystem more robust and self-sustaining.
Superior Incentives:
Offering "lifetime" yield boosts for early adopters to encourage long-term holding, a key goal of the LeoStrategy project.
Last Words
LeoStrategy's investment vehicles on the Hive blockchain have undergone a significant evolution, shifting from the stable, fixed-income SURGE token to dynamic, real-world asset (RWA) synthetics like TTSLA and TGLD. SURGE provided downside protection and a high fixed yield (15-19% APR) without lock-up periods, successfully competing with HBD by prioritizing liquidity and stability.
This foundational model paved the way for more sophisticated assets that track external markets.
The subsequent introduction of TTSLA and TGLD represented a significant advancement by incorporating real-world asset exposure and a "policy peg" that utilizes dynamic interest rates.
These newer tokens adjust their daily yield based on deviations from the price of the underlying asset, establishing an active mechanism for stabilization, in contrast to SURGE's fixed yield.
TGLD further refined this approach with permanent, additive APR boosts for presale buyers, designed to encourage long-term holding.
This model leverages cross-chain market-making profits to sustainably fund these daily yields, illustrating a progression towards more complex and incentive-driven financial products within the ecosystem.

The prices that are currently down are a good opportunity to accumulate everything. If the prices rise again, the investor will benefit considerably.
Wow, I am impressed with the development, the incooporation of RWA is a big step, which will benefit the Leo as well as Hive community in the future.
