Aegis DEX

Aegis DEX is a DeFi platform that combines trading, liquidity, and yield into one seamless system.

• Perpetuals with LOB: A decentralized trading experience similar to a CEX, but fully on-chain.

• Vaults and Earn: Assets deposited in vaults are deployed in strategies and liquidity provision, returning yield to users.

• Boosters: Gamified rewards that enhance yields for active participants.

The result is a system that maximizes the utility of idle assets while making advanced strategies accessible to everyday users.

YUSD as Collateral

Aegis issues YUSD, a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin engineered to generate yield by arbitraging the BTC funding rates.

Now, users can use YUSD as yield-bearing margin collateral on Aegis DEX. This means the collateral is no longer generating yield for a centralized entity it accrues yield for the users using it as margin.

By integrating YUSD into Aegis DEX margin system, users gain:

• Capital efficiency with leverage and yield in one position

• Yield layering that captures both protocol yield and trading opportunity

• A differentiated stablecoin that functions as a productive collateral asset

Why This Matters

This is a major milestone for DeFi yield architecture. By enabling YUSD to serve as yield-generating collateral, Aegis DEX brings together trading, yield capture, and capital efficiency in a way that has not been possible before.

Users now access leverage without surrendering yield, and exposure without sacrificing return.

The implications are broad:

• Save on funding costs as yield offsets borrowing expenses

• Layer returns by combining protocol yield and trading profits

• Boost adoption since YUSD offers differentiated leverage utility

• Strengthen liquidity and utility by moving capital from idle into productive and hedged structures

In short, yield-bearing margin collateral is the next frontier. With Aegis DEX, it is now live.
