# gUSHer and vdUSH

## Liquid tokenized vdUSH (gushyUSH)

Typically, a user will ‘lock’ their `USH` or qualifying LP token for `vdUSH` and the opportunity to earn \[multiplied] `USH` rewards. As described, this leaves their `USH` locked-up and non-transferrable. gUSHer fixes this by creating a tokenized version of `vdUSH` for you called `gushyUSH`.

## Maximizing yield

### Max-Lock

`gushyUSH` is designed to optimize yield for users. The protocol will automatically max-lock your underlying `vdUSH` position, providing the highest possible yield. 

### Batched Transactions

Efficiency is gained (gas saved) by batching the transactions of all `gushyUSH` holders together. 

### Compounding yield

`USH` yield is automatically converted into `gushyUSH,` *compounding* *rewards further*.

### GUSH yield

`USH` yield releases a proportional amount of `GUSH` yield giving `gushyUSH` holders more value and ownership over the gUSHer protocol.
