# Build with Mizu Source: https://docs.mizulabs.xyz/build-with-mizu **Mizu** is **modular** and **efficiency** driven. We build to solve: * Liquidity Fragmentation: Liquidity is isolated across various EVM, non-EVM and altVM chains, leading to inefficient capital utilization. Users frequently move their liquidity between chains to take advantage of new incentives, which exacerbates the fragmentation problem and hinders the growth of decentralized finance ecosystems.

Mizu enables access to liquidity across all chains, eliminating the inefficiencies caused by isolated ecosystems.
* Capital Inefficiency: The constant migration of liquidity across different platforms creates significant inefficiencies in the movement of capital. Users must lock and unlock their assets repeatedly, which leads to a suboptimal flow of liquidity and the fragmentation of capital that could be more efficiently used.

By enabling assets to remain active across chains through its Shadow Token Standard, Mizu ensures maximum capital utilization.
* Limitted access to capital: dApps and other DeFi services often only have secondary access to liquidity or must pay hand over fist.

This means they are fragile and dependent on liquidity that moves from chain to chain rather than having direct control over it.
* Yield Disparities: Assets, even when they are similar, often generate different yields on different chains. For example, ETH on Ethereum might generate a different yield than bridged ETH on Arbitrum.

These disparities lead to inconsistencies in user experiences and inefficiencies in the allocation of capital. Mizu standardizes yield generation by dynamically allocating liquidity to the most profitable opportunities across blockchains.
* Security Optimization: In the current DeFi landscape, when assets like ETH leave their native chain (such as Ethereum), they no longer contribute to the security of that chain. For instance, ETH used in staking on Ethereum cannot also be used to generate liquidity on other chains, which results in potential security inefficiencies.

Mizu solves this by directly enabling economic value and utility to transfer with cross-chain settlement and liquidity management.

Connect the wallet originally used for the vault position and complete migration before withdrawing. ## Deposits New deposits are currently closed. This guide applies to users withdrawing an existing Mizu vault position. # Mizu: The Liquidity & Yield Framework for all VMs Source: https://docs.mizulabs.xyz/index > **TLDR:** Eigenlayer commoditized trust and security; Mizu commoditizes liquidity and utility. Liquidity is the lifeblood of crypto—shapeless, adaptive, and ever-evolving. Like water, it is only constrained by the boundaries of its container. But today, crypto has too many containers—different forms that divide and isolate liquidity. **Mizu dissolves these divisions**, acting as the connectivity layer of crypto. It unites all liquidity into a seamless flow, providing a blank slate where liquidity can adapt freely, take any shape, and unlock boundless possibilities. This is how liquidity was always meant to be. By unifying fragmented liquidity, Mizu redefines what’s possible in DeFi. Mizu isn’t just a product—it’s a vision for the future of liquidity: * **Borderless:** Liquidity flows seamlessly across ecosystems. * **Limitless:** Free from fragmentation, liquidity fuels infinite opportunities. * **Unified:** A single layer connecting all chains and protocols. Guiding Principles: * Do not rebuild TradFi. Reimagine it. * Do not build walled gardens. Foster the forests of tomorrow. * Do not take custody. Empower users with freedom. * Do not limit integrations. Incubate limitless possibilities. * Do not lock liquidity. Let it flow. * Do not impose. Let innovation lead the way. # miUSD Source: https://docs.mizulabs.xyz/mi-usd Public release soon... # Official Mizu Links Source: https://docs.mizulabs.xyz/official-links Official links for Mizu Labs, including the Mizu app, documentation, GitHub, and security information.

The gateway to Mizu, accepting deposits in whitelisted assets and serving as canonical bridges. * **Auto-Yield Vaults (vaults):** Automated vaults that generate yield. Modular risk-minimised programmatic liquidity managers that utilize LP deposits to generate yield from integrated EVM, nonEVM and altVM chains * **Mirror Tokens:** Yield-bearing tokens representing 1:1 ownership of assets supplied into gateways that interweave Mizu and external blockspace. These tokens are always redeemable 1:1 at anytime and are composable with protocols on Mizu. * **Shadow Tokens:** This is the yield token backed 1:1 with the yield generated in the native chain. Each user holding tokens in the Mizu Chain will receive a portion of the yield generated in the peripheral chain. These tokens are always redeemable 1:1 with USDC at anytime and are composable with protocols on Mizu. * **Liquidity Orderbook:** Enables LPs and LSs to post offers for liquidity in a fully transparent and decentralized manner. The order book is governed by smart contracts that manage order creation, matching, and settlement, ensuring secure and efficient liquidity discovery. * **Yield Partners:** Integrated tokens, chains and on-chain protocols. *** #### **How Mizu Works** Mizu connects LPs, Yield Partners, Auto-Yield Vaults, and LSs, creating a seamless system to commoditize yield and liquidity utility. 1. **To Liquidity Providers:**
Mizu is a transparent and dynamic environment to deploy capital efficiently. LPs deposit assets into gateway contracts across integrated chains. These deposits are immediately tokenized 1:1 as **Shadow Tokens** on Mizu. The underlying assets generate yield through vaults on integrated peripheral chains (Yield Partners). 2. **To Liquidity Seekers:**
Mizu is an automated liquidity orderbook perpetually optimizing efficiency on incentive effiiency. LSs can rent liquidity by matching or exceeding the "market rate" of yield, as defined by the yield generated on LP deposits by vaults. This allows them to incentivize and secure liquidity for whitelisted pools. *** #### **Example Use Cases** * **Liquidity Generation:** Users deposit \$30M of ETH and USD into Mizu’s Gateway Contracts. The \$30M is minted 1:1 as Shadow Tokens on Mizu to the user who is free to do with the tokens as they please e.g. engage in DeFi on Mizu. Simultaneously vaults optimize \$30M of ETH and USD within Mizu's Gateway contracts achieving a 12% ARR. * **Liquidity Renting:** A whitelisted chain that Mizu's vaults generate yield on already seeks \$2M of ETH and USD to seed a new pool/protocol/initiative. They offer \$250k in incentives for a two-month liquidity lock, greater than the current "market rate" of yield. Vaults therefore allocate liquidity to the pool, provided security, risk and operational constraints are satisfied # Whitepaper Source: https://docs.mizulabs.xyz/untitled-page Public Release - September # Withdraw from a Mizu Vault Source: https://docs.mizulabs.xyz/withdraw Step-by-step instructions for withdrawing an existing Mizu vault position, completing migration, and using the official Mizu app safely.
