# Growth Mechanisms

### Growth Mechanisms

* [**Smart Contract Convertibles**](https://token-strategy.gitbook.io/eth-strategy/how-it-works/smart-contract-convertibles): Users buy convertibles with USDC. Proceeds are used to buy ETH, grow the pool, and increase ETHSR’s value.
* [**ATM Offerings**](https://token-strategy.gitbook.io/eth-strategy/how-it-works/quickstart-1): If ETHSR trades at a premium to the underlying ETH in the treasury, new tokens can be sold at the market price. Proceeds are used to acquire more ETH or ETH equivalents like wstETH.
* [**Staking**](https://token-strategy.gitbook.io/eth-strategy/how-it-works/quickstart-2): ETHSR holders will continuously evaluate which staking providers offer the best return on the treasury's ETH and will decide which underlying LSTs to hold.
* [**Other Mechanisms**](https://token-strategy.gitbook.io/eth-strategy/how-it-works/quickstart-3): At any time, the ETH Strategy DAO is able to vote on new mechanisms to increase the value of the underlying ETH treasury.
