# Strategy

### **What is the x:y strategy?**

The x:y strategy is where you compound as frequently as you can for **x** days then take profits responsibly on the ***Yth*** day

### **What is the best strategy?**

Think of using the whole miner ecosystem as a race. Compounding is like running, holding (not buying or selling or compounding, just idling your position) is like walking and then selling is like stopping. \
\
The more you sell, the further behind you are in the race should everyone else continue to compound. Taking profits at a longer interval period keeps you further ahead in this race. \

Think of where the project’s TVL target is similar to the way you would anticipate where a token would hit ATH then look to approach your strategy the same would you would take profits from said token.
