Capital efficiency means your assets work harder for you—not just sitting idle.

Take the liquidity protocol approach: deposit your tokens and you've got options. Stake them, use as collateral for lending, accumulate rewards simultaneously. This is where it gets practical.

The difference between this and traditional parking? Active participation actually matters. If you're serious about maximizing your holdings, you're leveraging multiple yield streams at once. If you're just holding static positions, you're leaving potential on the table.

That's the real gap between passive and active strategies in DeFi.
