# How does Ethring work?

Ethring simplifies DeFi by integrating popular EVM ecosystem providers directly into the platform. Here’s how it works:

1. **Seamless Smart Contract Integration**: Ethring connects directly to the smart contracts of trusted DeFi protocols. View rewards for liquidity pool (LP) deposits and optimize your strategies without technical know-how.
2. **Liquidity Management with The Bag**: The Bag is your liquidity manager. It allows you to add, withdraw, or move liquidity with just a few clicks, regardless of the network or token. This feature combines swaps and cross-chain transactions, providing maximum flexibility. Whether you’re working with a single asset or cross-chain strategies, The Bag simplifies the process.
3. **Optimized Routing for Best Results**: Ethring combines multiple transactions into one seamless operation, gathering data from aggregators like Enso, LiFi, and over 10 other providers. This ensures you get the highest yield with minimal fees, and it guarantees security during the entire transaction process.
4. **Support for Simple and Complex Strategies**: Whether you’re using stablecoins, correlated pools like ETH/wstETH, RWA strategies, or more complex ones like leverage farming, Ethring optimizes returns for your chosen strategy. We take into account protocol-specific standards and provide a seamless experience.
5. **Built for Future-Proofing:** Ethring is designed to support the evolving DeFi ecosystem. It integrates complex strategies and adapts to new standards, ensuring that users always have access to the latest and most efficient options for maximizing yield.
