What Is Smart Arbitrage?
A smart arbitrage strategy leverages Delta-neutral hedging to generate stable profits despite market volatility. By simultaneously:
- Longing an asset in the spot market
- Shorting the same asset in perpetual futures
Users neutralize price risks and profit from funding rate differentials (e.g., positive funding rates).
Understanding Staking
Ethereum Staking
- Stake ETH → Receive BETH (1:1)
- Rewards: Distributed daily (after a 24-hour delay for new delegations).
- Validators secure the network while delegators earn passive income.
Solana Staking
- Stake SOL → Receive OKSOL (1:1)
- Rewards: Distributed every 3 days.
- Funds go on-chain at 03:00 UTC daily (next-day processing for late submissions).

Smart Arbitrage + Staking: Dual Rewards
This hybrid approach combines:
