## Why Build on Foundation?

| Benefit                    | Description                                                                                                                |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Instant Liquidity**      | Don't bootstrap a stablecoin from zero. Your strategy is immediately swappable with every other strategy in the ecosystem. |
| **Infrastructure Handled** | We manage the peg, mint/redeem mechanics, and security. You focus on the alpha.                                            |
| **Distribution**           | Instant access to Foundation's existing user base and TVL.                                                                 |
| **Composability**          | Your strategy tokens work across all of DeFi via ERC4626.                                                                  |
