1. **ETH Staking**: Users can stake their ETH in the ETHENA ecosystem, participating in a Proof-of-Stake (POS) consensus algorithm. This eliminates the need for a large upfront investment, making staking more accessible. Current returns from staking are around 3%.

2. **Profit Generation**: A significant aspect of ETHENA is its profit mechanism, primarily driven by the funding rate. By shorting ETH perpetual contracts on various centralized exchanges during bullish market conditions, ETHENA acts as a hedge fund, capitalizing on market fluctuations. This strategy enables users to profit from the difference between spot ETH and perpetual contract positions, with an annualized return of approximately 20%.

3. **Basis Trading**: ETHENA also generates income through basis trading, which involves profiting from the price difference between spot and delivery futures contracts. This results in a relatively stable annualized return of about 0.5%.

ENA, the governance token of ETHENA, is distributed among core contributors, investors, foundations, and for ecological development. Additionally, 5% of the ecosystem's tokens are allocated to users through short selling.
