# What is gUSHer?

> GUSH your USH. unshETH your ETH.

**gUSHer** is THE best way to manage your `USH` and unshETH experience. It is platform custom-built with the purpose of boosting and optimizing rewards for `USH` stakers *and* liquidity providers in the [unshETH protocol](/gusherdao/general-information/unsheth.md), while still holding tokenized `vdUSH`. TLDR:

* Maximum yield (with added **boost**)
* Liquid tokenized `vdUSH`
* Control `USH` voting rights via delegation

**gUSHer's core goal is to grow and improve the unshETH ecosystem through increased adoption and efficiency. This principle will guide the design and decisions of the team.**

## Why do we need a new layer?

One of unshETH's founding principles is "Decentralization through incentivization." Gusher combines incentive maximization with ease of use for users.

Actively managing a position can be tedious: staking, claiming, re-staking, providing liquidity, and others is expensive and time-consuming. Gusher batches and automates these processes in an optimal way, maximizing yield, all while receiving \[Gusher exclusive] *boosted* yield (paid in tokenized `vdUSH` and `GUSH`).

Gusher charges no fees for deposits/withdrawals, only a low [protocol fee](/gusherdao/protocol-details/protocol-fees.md) on profits, which is distributed to `USH` stakers and `GUSH` holders.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

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/what-is-gusher.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
