In early 2023, [unshETH](https://unsheth.xyz/) announced a novel innovation in LSDFi with a core mission of promoting decentralization of ETH stakers and preserving true security of the Ethereum network. The launch of their unshETH token allowed users to have exposure to an automatically diversified basket of liquid staked ETH derivatives (LSDs) and their yield. They also built the world's first [Validator Decentralization Automated Market Maker](https://docs.unsheth.xyz/vdAMM) (vdAMM), transforming unshETH into a liquidity hub for LSDs that is more efficient and safer (less prone to tail-risk) than Curve or other existing AMM solutions. Participants in the ecosystem are rewarded with USH, the governance token and incentive layer for unshETH. ## vdUSH: the ruling incentive layer for ETH LSDs Users with locked `USH` (`vdUSH`) govern the following: * The composition of LSDs and their various weights * Directing USH incentives and partnerships * Fee parameters and fee switch for vdAMM swaps --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://gusher.gitbook.io/gusherdao/general-information/unsheth.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
