Introducing Quasar
summary
Quasar claims it will replace spot ownership by issuing a Layer Staked Asset (LSA): a liquid vault share that auto‑deploys across staking, DEX, and money‑market primitives so users hold one token and earn staking or higher yields. Implementation uses automated concentrated‑liquidity vaults, an off‑chain co‑processor that posts validated strategies on‑chain under decentralized governance, and a roadmap toward a pro‑vault then EVM expansion; early product reached 8–9% of Osmosis TVL at peak. Token was taken private during pivot; mainnet LSA is still a multi‑stage rollout.
