# Product Overview

## Series Tokens

Series Tokens are the user-facing Series’ membership interest tokens for leveraged products issued by SHIFT. Each Series Token is an SPL token on Solana that represents 1:1 economic exposure to a corresponding leveraged or inverse ETF held in regulated custody at Alpaca Markets.

{% hint style="info" %}
SHIFT does not synthesize leverage. SHIFT acquires the leveraged ETF 1:1 the ETF issuer (e.g. Direxion) manages the internal exposure of the underlying. SHIFT tokenizes the position so it can be held, transferred, and traded as a wallet-native SPL token.
{% endhint %}

### How a Series Token works

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### A user buys a SHIFT Series Token

A user buys a SHIFT Series Token (e.g. TSL2L) by swapping on Jupiter.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### The trade is filled

The trade is filled at an RFQ (Request for Quote) price provided by a professional market maker, who maintains continuous inventory of every Series Token.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Backing is held 1:1

Behind every token in circulation, SHIFT holds the corresponding leveraged or inverse ETF (e.g. Direxion TSLL) on a 1:1 basis. Backing assets are acquired through regulated brokerage rails.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Proof-of-Reserves verifies backing

Proof-of-Reserves verifies 1:1 backing on-chain.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### NAV tracks the ETF

The Series Token's NAV tracks the ETF's NAV. The ETF issuer manages the daily-reset leverage internally.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### The user exits

To exit, the user sells the Series Token back through Jupiter at the prevailing RFQ price. USDC arrives in the wallet.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Available Series

All Series are live on Solana.
