Abstract: Knotoids are a useful variation on knots that can be used to model proteins. We explain how one can apply hyperbolicity and hyperbolic volume as a powerful tool for distinguishing knotoids and a broad extension of knotoids called generalized knotoids. Then, we further consider staked knots, a particular type of generalized knotoid where stakes are placed around a projection of a knot, restricting its motion and discuss hyperbolicity in this context.
