Aegis Yield Generation Mechanism

Funding Rate Arbitrage

Aegis performs funding rate arbitrage through delta-neutral trades in spot and perpetual markets, effectively generating profits from funding fees. These fees, disbursed three times daily, align perpetual contract and spot prices, ultimately rewarding YUSD holders.

Instant Liquidity

With Aegis, you can earn yields without the hassle of staking, lockups, or waiting periods. This means you can trade YUSD freely at any time, 24/7. Whether you need to exchange your assets or take advantage of market opportunities quickly, Aegis ensures you have instant access to your funds without any restrictions.

No Staking

Accruing yields has never been easier. Simply hold YUSD and register your wallet in the Aegis system to start earning. There's no need to lock up your assets or participate in complex staking processes. This effortless approach allows you to benefit from yield generation by maintaining a balance of YUSD, making it a user-friendly option for maximizing your returns without additional effort or technical knowledge.

Timeless Rewards

Aegis rewards for holding YUSD are perpetual, meaning they are always available to claim as long as earned. This ensures you can continuously benefit from your holdings over time. Your rewards have no expiration date, so you can claim them whenever it suits you.

Advantages of YUSD

Full Transparency

Aegis is committed to absolute transparency in all its operations. You can access detailed information about APY calculations, view our Proof-of-Reserves panel displaying custodial vaults with collateral assets, and monitor our open market positions on various exchanges.

Furthermore, we generate a read-only API key, allowing seamless access to Aegis exchange positions.

Complete Independence

Utilizing BTC-Margined perpetual contracts, we secure funding in base assets, establishing our operational independence from existing stablecoins and the fiat banking system.

Security by Design

Aegis employs a security layer that ensures new YUSD is created only when collateral in USDT, USDC, or DAI is deposited into the Aegis Mint smart contract. We partner with premier custodians such as Fireblocks, Copper.co, and CEFFU to ensure maximum security. By opting for off-exchange settlements, we strategically avoid storing funds on centralized exchanges, significantly reducing risk and safeguarding your investments.
