# Asset Selection Criteria

### Asset Selection Criteria

For each asset we choose to accept, we may either accept it unconditionally, or with a maximum caped limit.  For example, for an asset with a limited number of holders and or low circulating supply, we would establish a maximum limit we would be willing to accept within the treasury before pausing further deposits of that asset.

When considering a new LST/LRT to be accepted within our treasury, we look at the following factors.    

**Minimum TVL threshold:**\
LST/LRT protocols must have at least 15,000 ETH staked. For projects that have substantial TVL drops, we will review the asset’s viability.

**DeFi:**\
Protocols must have swap markets with ample liquidity against ETH, wETH, or wstETH on L1 Ethereum.

**Security and Audits:** \
Protocols must have verifiable public audits and responsible key management. All severe/high risk issues must be resolved. Medium risks issues must have been addressed, or adequately explained. 

**Team:**\
Team must be contactable and able to offer support.

**Slashing:**\
Must have rigorous validator selection criteria and remediation practices.\
\
**Staking Rate:**\
Competitive rate.\
