Turning crypto into productive assets using original Automatic Market Making without IL. Focusing on $BTC first.

Here’s the concept of @yieldbasis :
An AMM that 2x leverage your liquidity to mitigate the impermanent loss with boosted yield.
🔸Cryptoswap with Stableswap Invariant:
In theory, maintaining a 2x leverage can mitigate IL, but in Uni V2 it only 2x your losses. Simulation shows an improved result in Curve's Cryptoswap once it combines with Stableswap Invariant.
🔸2x Leverages but how?
1) You deposit BTC (let's say $100K) in YB
2) YB borrow $100K $crvUSD against your BTC
3) Form a $200K LP to borrow another $100K crvUSD
4) Then repay the first loan (100K $crvUSD)
5) Finally, it forms a 2x leveraged LP
6) All happened in one atomic swap, and the purpose of this design is avoiding 1 to 1 borrowing (100% LTV) but rather keeping a 50% LTV.
🔸Releverage Algo:
To maintain a 2x leverage, YB uses another specialized AMM to automatically adjusts the position by managing debt against your LP. E.g, When BTC moves 10% up, your debt goes up by 10% accordingly, this keeps the debt / collateral ratio at 50:50.
🔸Subsiding and Rebalancing:
In YB, concentrated liquidity is constantly rebalancing. In which, 50% of the fees from the AMM and ~50% of the crvUSD interest will go back to subsidise the budget of moving the CL for the best depth and fee generation.
🔸Take $YB or Take $BTC:
If you do not stake your LP, you get $BTC real yield.
If you stake your LP, you can $YB emission, which is entities to a % of yield taken from the fee too.
The Dynamic ?
As more LPs are staked, the more fee is collected from the yield for $YB. In contrast, if no LP staked, only a floor yield will be taken from the fee.
--------------------------------------------------------
Quick thought 🧠:
Interesting but complicated.
YB core concept is basically leveraging cryptoswap design with stableswap invarient while using boosted yields from leveraged BTC positions to pay for rebalance costs.
On the other hand, $YB token form a nice game theory between protocol believer and yield farmer.
If this works, YB could attract a lot of bridged BTC by offering yields that outperform current market borrowing rates. This should also boost crvUSD adoption, a W-W solution for @CurveFinance I think.
However, given the complex design, reliance on flash loans and a lot of mathematical assumptions. We should pay attention to potential smart contract vulnerabilities and flash loan attacks during implementation.
