How does SFT Protocol Work with FVM and LSD?

SFT represents the staked FVM’s FIL in Filecoin, which includes the initial deposit and stake rewards. SFT tokens are minted when FIL is deposited and destroyed when FIL is redeemed. The number of SFTs is directly linked to the FIL staked in Filecoin on a 1:1 basis.

The SFT Protocol’s Farms module is a platform where users can earn income from FIL tokens by staking SFT tokens. Currently, the Farms module offers two revenue models: demand income and three-month fixed income. By using SFT on the Farm, users can easily earn more than 10% profit (FIL) which can be harvested every day.
