Explain to me like I'm Five

Imagine Alice has some ETH she wants to put to work earning yields. She deposits her ETH into Mitosis and gets miETH in return. This miETH is special - it's like a ticket that gives Alice two fundamental rights: the right to earn yields from multiple sources, and the right to vote on where her ETH should be allocated.

Now, Alice is busy and doesn't want to research and vote on every yield opportunity. So she deposits her miETH into a lending app built on Mitosis. By doing this, she not only earns lending yields, but she also lets the app vote on her behalf. The app, wanting to grow its business across multiple chains, uses Alice's voting power to direct ETH to places that generate the best returns for both Alice and itself.

Other users like Bob and Charlie do the same thing with their assets. Together, their combined voting power, delegated through various apps, keeps the ecosystem's assets actively moving to the best opportunities - all without Bob, Charlie, or Alice having to actively manage anything.

This is how Mitosis turns Passive Liquidity into dynamic, working capital that benefits everyone in the ecosystem.
