How is APY generated?
Aegis has developed software designed to perform funding rate arbitrage through delta-neutral trades in spot and perpetual markets, effectively generating profits from funding fees.
Funding fees are periodic payments (usually three times a day) made by traders based on the difference between perpetual contract prices and the spot price. These fees are transferred between buyers (long positions) and sellers (short positions) based on market conditions. They help balance prices, cover leverage costs, and stabilize the market. Aegis collects these fees as rewards and distributes them to YUSD holders.
Funding rate is an interest rate calculated as a percentage, based on the difference between contract prices and spot prices. This rate determines whether buyers (long positions) or sellers (short positions) will pay the fee. It can be either positive or negative, indicating the direction of payment in the transaction.
For example, let's assume Funding Rate (FR) is 0.01%, and funding rewards are applied every 8 hours, three times a day:
- Decimal conversion: first, change FR to decimal, so 0.01% becomes 0.0001.
- Daily application: this rate is used 3 times daily, totaling 1,095 (3 × 365 days) times a year.
- APY calculation: % APY = ((1 + 0.0001)1095 - 1) × 100.
YUSD yearly APY is ≈ 11.57%.
How can I get my earned YUSD?
Your YUSD rewards become available for claim every seven days through a three-step process:
1. Balance snapshot and earnings calculation: we capture snapshots of your YUSD balance every eight hours to compute your daily average holdings.
2. Daily profit calculation and YUSD generation: we redirect profits from exchanges into the insurance fund each day and generate new YUSD displayed in your account balance. You can exchange, send and receive YUSD on your balance at any time.
3. Weekly claim: you can claim your accumulated YUSD directly from your Aegis profile weekly.
Why is YUSD always equal to $1?
YUSD is backed by Bitcoin, meaning its value is directly tied to the Bitcoin it holds as collateral.
To maintain the stability of YUSD value, Aegis sells perpetual contracts that mirror Bitcoin exposure.
This hedging strategy balances out any gains or losses caused by Bitcoin's price changes, stabilizing YUSD value at $1.
How can I exchange YUSD for other currencies?
Aegis offers tailored methods for exchanging YUSD, depending on the type of asset you wish to trade:
For Ethereum Assets:
You can easily exchange Ethereum-based assets through decentralized exchanges. This method allows you to engage in direct swaps using liquidity pools, facilitating seamless transactions of YUSD with other Ethereum assets like USDT, USDC, or DAI.
Why are my funds secured?
We protect your assets with a multi-layered security strategy:
1. Complete Independence from Existing Stablecoins: Utilizing Coin-M perpetual contracts, we secure funding in base assets, establishing our operational independence from existing stablecoins. This strategy minimizes our exposure to market fluctuations and enhances our autonomy.
2. Unmatched 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.
3. Trusted Partners: We partner with premier custodians such as Fireblocks, Copper 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.
4. Full Compliance: We adhere to stringent regulatory standards, ensuring full compliance to protect our clients and their assets.
