What is the superOETHb/WETH Pool?
The Curve superOETHb/WETH pool on Base provides liquidity for Origin Protocol's yield-optimized LST on the Base network. This pool represents significant TVL ($70.2M) for Base DeFi infrastructure.
Understanding superOETHb
Origin Protocol's superOETHb is designed for yield optimization:
- Liquid staking token with enhanced yield strategies
- Deployed natively on Base network
- Combines staking yield with DeFi strategies
- Managed by Origin Protocol's yield infrastructure
The "super" designation indicates additional yield optimization beyond basic staking.

With $70.2 million TVL:
- Largest Curve pool on Base by TVL
- Critical infrastructure for Base LST ecosystem
- Primary liquidity venue for superOETHb
Yield Structure
The 0.02% APY seems low but consider:
- Pool serves strategic liquidity purposes
- superOETHb holders earn yield through the token itself
- Low APY reflects minimal trading activity
- TVL size provides stability despite low fees
