# Core Strategy Types
Each adapter implements a common deposit / withdraw / harvest interface, so swapping the underlying protocol for another of the same type requires no change to the vault or compounding logic. Core categories include:
#### Looped Lending
The vault supplies stablecoins and major assets to lending markets on HyperEVM to earn interest — the most basic, battle-tested strategy in the stack, and the default base allocation. The position is then looped (supply, borrow, supply again) to amplify returns.
#### **Looped Staking**
HYPE is deposited into a liquid staking protocol in exchange for an LST, capturing native network staking yield. The LST is then posted as collateral to borrow stablecoins, buy more HYPE, and stake again — a looped structure that amplifies the base yield.
#### Delta-Neutral Strategy
An equal-notional long/short position is held to hedge out price movement so returns come from the funding rate and basis spread rather than the direction of the underlying asset — spot against perpetual on HyperCore’s order book for native assets, or a HIP-3 tokenized equity or index perpetual against its traditional-market reference, where the basis widens because the asset trades 24/7 on-chain but only during regular hours in its home market.

## 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://docs.hyperhive.finance/hyperhive-vaults/core-strategy-types.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
