Current Status
Who It's For
Family offices and individual allocators seeking systematic, transparent DeFi yield.
Tier 1 + selected Tier 2 protocols. Deterministic risk-gated rebalancing. Public paper track record since June 10, 2026.
What's Inside
The Core strategy allocates across audited, high-TVL DeFi lending protocols. Rebalancing is triggered daily by the cycle runner and gated by RiskPolicy v1.0 — a deterministic, non-overridable risk engine.
Tier 1 — Primary
- Aave V3 (Ethereum) — ~3.5% APY
- Compound V3 (Comet USDC) — ~4.8% APY
- Morpho Steakhouse — ~6.5% APY
Tier 2 — Supplementary
- Morpho Blue USDC
- Yearn V3 USDC (ERC-4626)
- Euler V2 USDC (ERC-4626)
T2 total capped at 50% of portfolio (ADR-019)
Yield Sources
All yield comes from lending market interest rates. No governance token farming, no liquidity provision, no leverage.
What This Strategy Does NOT Do
Risk Controls — RiskPolicy v1.0
Every proposed allocation passes through a deterministic, hard-coded risk gate. No human, no AI, no strategy can override these parameters.
| Parameter | Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| TVL floor | ≥ $5M | Pools below this threshold are excluded |
| Per-protocol cap (T1) | 40% | Max allocation to any single T1 protocol |
| Per-protocol cap (T2) | 20% | Max allocation to any single T2 protocol |
| T2 total cap | ≤ 50% | All T2 protocols combined (ADR-019) |
| APY range | 1% – 30% | Positions outside range are rejected |
| Cash buffer | ≥ 5% | Always held in reserve |
| Kill switch | ≥ 5% drawdown | Close all positions immediately |
Performance & Validation Status
All performance data reflects paper trading on a virtual $100,000 USDT/USDC portfolio. Not indicative of future results.
All 26 criteria must pass for 7 consecutive days before live capital activation (ADR-002). Current blockers visible on dashboard.
Strategy-Specific Risks
Investing in DeFi protocols carries material risks. This strategy does not eliminate these risks — it manages exposure within defined parameters.
Smart Contract Risk
Protocol code may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities. We only allocate to protocols with multiple independent audits, but audits do not eliminate risk.
Stablecoin Depeg Risk
USDC or other stablecoins may temporarily or permanently lose their peg. The kill switch triggers at 5% drawdown regardless of cause.
Oracle Risk
Price feeds from oracles (Chainlink, Pyth) may be delayed or manipulated. The strategy relies on DeFiLlama aggregated feeds for APY data.
Liquidity Risk
In extreme market conditions, withdrawals from lending pools may be temporarily delayed if utilisation rates approach 100%.
Emergency Behavior
Kill Switch: -5% Monthly Drawdown
If portfolio equity drops 5% or more from the monthly peak, all positions are closed and capital moves to cash buffer. This is non-overridable — no human, no AI, no strategy logic can prevent the trigger.
The kill switch is the last line of defense. It does not eliminate losses — it limits further exposure after a drawdown event has occurred.
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
What is paper trading?
Paper trading runs the full strategy logic against live market data with a virtual $100,000 USDC portfolio. No real capital is deployed. All trades, risk decisions, and performance metrics are logged publicly.
When does live trading start?
Target go-live is August 1, 2026. Activation requires all 26 GoLiveChecker criteria passing for 7+ consecutive days, plus a 30-day gap-free track record and manual owner review (ADR-002).
Can the risk policy be overridden?
No. RiskPolicy v1.0 is a deterministic, hard-coded gate. The code explicitly
prevents any agent, strategy, or human from overriding an approved=False decision.
Changing parameters requires a new ADR and version snapshot.
What assets are supported?
USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20) and USDC (ERC-20). Entry through conversation — no public minimums or pool capacity limits.
What about withdrawals?
No lock-up. Standard processing T+1. Large or complex withdrawals may take up to 5 business days. No withdrawal fee.
Is KYC required?
No KYC required to view the site or dashboard. Identity verification is required before first deposit.
Can I switch strategies?
Yes. Strategy switch is allowed, T+1 standard processing. Manual/semi-automated in MVP.
Is there AI in the execution path?
No. The risk engine, execution layer, and monitoring systems contain zero LLM calls. Prompt injection into capital allocation is treated as a critical attack vector. AI is used only for analytics and advisory tasks that have no write access to positions.
What happens if a protocol gets exploited?
The kill switch triggers at 5% portfolio drawdown regardless of cause. Per-protocol caps (40% T1 / 20% T2) limit single-protocol exposure. The TVL floor ($5M+) excludes smaller pools that are statistically more likely to be exploited.
Can I see the strategy logic?
Yes. The strategy methodology, risk parameters, adapter registry, and tournament evaluator are fully documented. Every change is tracked in git. The public dashboard shows live paper trading results.
