TARGET PROFILE — RESEARCH/PAPER, REFUSED FOR LIVE
Target APY is illustrative only. The higher-yield tier is now honestly documented: the 12–20% strategies the desk REFUSES for live are paper-tested in the Aggressive Lab WITH their real, dated tail (the unhedged directional book lost ~50% through the ETH crash). A stable 15% is not alpha — it is a tail.
Aggressive Strategy
Advanced mechanics for higher yield tolerance. Levered PT carry, points farming, and unhedged directional restaking — paper-tested in the Aggressive Lab, refused for live capital. Real liquidation-cascade and depeg tail (an unhedged book saw ~50% through the ETH crash), shown honestly.
Target APY
Target profile — validation pending. Not paper tracked. Variable APY, not guaranteed. Possible loss of capital.
Risk Level
Advanced vault mechanics. Higher yield tolerance with managed risk parameters.
Current Status
Who It's For
Experienced allocators accepting higher volatility and drawdown for yield upside.
Levered PT carry, points / incentive farming, and unhedged directional restaking. Real liquidation-cascade and depeg risk — paper-tested in the Aggressive Lab, refused for live capital. The tail is shown, not hidden.
What's Inside
Aggressive is levered PT carry, points / incentive farming, and unhedged directional restaking. It carries real liquidation-cascade and depeg risk — paper-tested in the Aggressive Lab, refused for live capital. More complex strategies may be added after separate paper validation.
Mechanics
- Levered PT carry loops
- Points / incentive farming
- Unhedged directional restaking
- Real liquidation-cascade & depeg risk
Monitoring
- Oracle price deviation alerts
- Utilisation rate monitoring
- Position health checks
- Automated risk triggers
Yield Sources
Yield amplified through leverage. Higher returns come with proportionally higher risk of loss.
What This Strategy Does NOT Do
Risk Controls — RiskPolicy v1.0
Aggressive is advisory research OUTSIDE RiskPolicy v1.0 — the deterministic gate REFUSES it for live capital. The parameters below are the live gate it does not pass; the aggressive mechanic itself carries real liquidation-cascade and depeg risk.
| Parameter | Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| TVL floor | ≥ $5M | Pools below this threshold excluded |
| Per-protocol cap | 40% T1 / 20% T2 | Max allocation to single protocol, by Tier |
| T2 total cap | ≤ 50% | Aggregate cap on Tier 2 exposure |
| APY range | 1% – 30% | Positions outside range rejected |
| Cash buffer | ≥ 5% | Always held in reserve |
| Liquidation risk | Real (cascade) | Levered loops + directional restaking carry cascade & depeg — why the gate refuses live |
| Kill switch — SOFT | ≥ 5% peak drawdown | De-risk: halt new entries & increases, no liquidation |
| Kill switch — HARD | ≥ 10% peak drawdown | Move whole portfolio to cash |
Validation Status
The aggressive strategies are actively paper-tested in the Aggressive Lab (several books, a live forward track) — WITH their real, dated tail. The desk REFUSES them for LIVE capital: the yield here is compensation for tail risk, not edge. APY is a target range, not a guarantee.
Strategy-Specific Risks
Aggressive carries all risks of the Balanced strategy plus leverage and directional risks. It has real liquidation-cascade and depeg risk — an unhedged book saw ~50% through the ETH crash. Refused for live capital.
Smart Contract Risk
Advanced vault mechanics interact with more protocol layers, increasing the surface area for potential vulnerabilities.
Stablecoin Depeg Risk
USDT or USDC may temporarily or permanently lose their peg. The kill switch responds by tier: SOFT de-risk at ≥5% peak drawdown, HARD (all to cash) at ≥10%, regardless of cause.
Oracle Risk
Price feeds from oracles may be delayed or manipulated. Strategy relies on aggregated feeds for APY data.
Complexity Risk
Advanced strategies have more moving parts. Higher monitoring requirements and wider range of potential failure modes.
Liquidity Risk
In extreme market conditions, withdrawals from pools may be temporarily delayed if utilisation rates approach 100%.
Refused-for-live risk
These strategies are paper-tested in the Aggressive Lab with their real tail, but the desk REFUSES them for LIVE capital. Target APY is a range, not a guarantee; substantial capital loss is possible.
Emergency Behavior
Two-Tier Kill Switch (Peak Drawdown)
At ≥5% peak-to-current equity drawdown (SOFT) the desk de-risks: it halts new entries and position increases, without liquidating. At ≥10% (HARD) the whole portfolio moves to 100% cash. Non-overridable, fully automated.
The kill switch limits further exposure but does not prevent losses already incurred.
Fee Structure
Fee structure is discussed individually during onboarding. High-water mark applies — no performance fee until the previous peak is recovered.
No fees during paper trading period.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Aggressive be available for live capital?
The strategies are already paper-tested in the Aggressive Lab (a live forward track). But the desk deliberately REFUSES them for LIVE capital — not because they're immature, but because the yield here compensates for tail risk (~50% drawdown through the ETH crash), not edge. It's a stance, not a launch date.
Is there liquidation risk?
Yes — this tier carries real liquidation-cascade risk (levered loops) and depeg risk (directional restaking). That is exactly why the desk REFUSES it for live capital; it exists as advisory paper research with the tail shown.
What assets are supported?
USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20) and USDC (ERC-20). Entry through conversation — no public minimums or pool capacity limits.
Is this suitable for my first DeFi allocation?
Aggressive targets higher returns with advanced mechanics. Consider Balanced or Conservative for a lower-risk entry point if you're new to DeFi.
Does the same risk policy apply?
Yes. RiskPolicy v1.0 applies to all strategies. Aggressive has additional leverage-specific constraints on top of the base policy. The same non-overridable two-tier kill switch applies: SOFT de-risk at ≥5% peak drawdown, HARD (all to cash) at ≥10%.
Will there be a paper trading period?
Yes. Like all strategies, Aggressive will undergo a paper trading validation period before any real capital is deployed. GoLiveChecker criteria will apply.
