# On-demand Omni-chain Liquidity #### Unlock Liquidity to Your Staked Positions Crypto staking is often subject to a waiting period (usually 7-14 days) when you unstake. To address this issue, we see a lot of liquid staking protocols that allow users to swap out instead of waiting for withdrawal. However, swapping out usually comes with friction, as the LSD/LRT tokens on DEX are generally trading at a discount to the original token. For example, swapping [ether.fi](http://ether.fi)’s weETH to ETH comes at a 0.3% friction, compared to withdrawing weETH from the protocol. The liquidity solution offered by Latch helps minimize that friction, by aggregating all liquidity sources, including providing omni-chain liquidity on its own. #### Aggregating Liquidity There are multiple sources of liquidity providers: * Latch offering certain omni-chain liquidity quota * LSD/LRT (e.g. [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi), Ethena) players providing liquidity to support their LSD/LRT token pegging * Users contributing liquidity for LP yield * Partner dApps contributing liquidity for improved UX Leveraging the cross-chain intent settlement, both on-chain liquidity (e.g. DEX & Bridges) and off-chain liquidity (CEX) can be aggregated, to maximize transaction efficiency. #### Use Cases for On-demand Omni-chain Liquidity Transactions in crypto space are usually very time-sensitive: waiting to withdraw tokens from LSD/LRT protocols could have huge opportunity costs. We all want to get instant liquidity whenever and wherever we want. By offering Omni-chain Liquidity, Latch facilitates various use cases: * Refuel gas fees on any chain * Buy NFT/Memecoins instantly on any chain * Use Latch balance to spend directly in dApps * … And a lot more to come! --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
