Our capital routing model keeps your trading margin earning onchain yield while it waits for execution or supports open positions. *** ### Core mechanism: a second leap in capital efficiency Traditional DEX margin usually sits passively in a contract. KryptoX separates **trading equity** from **underlying yield generation**: * **Automatic deployment:** Your USDC margin is automatically routed into leading DeFi lending protocols such as **Aave** and **Compound**, or into low-risk onchain strategies with strict risk controls. * **Yield returned to users:** Yield generated by these lending markets is returned **100% to platform users**. KryptoX is designed to grow the ecosystem through user returns, not through interest spread capture. * **Auto-settled compounding:** Earned yield is settled automatically into your account balance and can be used directly as **trading margin**, increasing position safety and buying power. *** ### Yield calculation example KryptoX uses a snapshot-based interest allocation model. Every **1 hour**, yield is distributed based on your share of total platform equity. **Formula** > **User interest allocation = Total platform yield × (User real-time total equity / Platform equity snapshot)** **Example** * **At T0:** You deposit **10,000 USDC** and open trading positions. * **At T1, one hour later:** * Your positions have earned 100 USDC. Including principal, your **total equity is 10,100 USDC**. * The total platform equity snapshot across all users is 500,000 USDC. * During the past hour, the underlying lending protocols generated 10 USDC in distributable interest. * **Interest allocation:** You receive $10 x (10,100 / 500,000) = $0.202. *** ### Security and risk control: yield should not add risk Routing margin into yield strategies is a system-level design problem. KryptoX protects your funds through the following mechanisms: 1. **Liquidity first:** Yield strategies must support instant redemption. The system keeps enough onchain buffer liquidity to ensure the liquidation engine can act immediately in extreme markets, without depending on underlying protocol liquidity. 2. **Logic isolation:** Yield settlement and margin calculation are strictly separated at the contract layer. This prevents fluctuations in underlying yield from pushing accounts into unexpected liquidation risk. 3. **Risk constraints:** We only select decentralized protocols with long market track records and strong security reputations, such as Aave and Compound. *** ### FAQ #### Q1: Do I need to enable yield manually? **A: No.** As soon as you deposit USDC into your KryptoX NFT account, yield starts automatically. Your assets can earn yield whether they support open orders or active positions. #### Q2: Are my funds safe? **A:** Your funds are protected by multiple layers: * **Decentralized custody:** Assets are routed through smart contracts into protocols such as Aave. The process runs fully onchain, without manual control or misuse risk. * **Independent audits:** KryptoX smart contracts are audited by leading security firms, and the underlying protocols such as Aave have been tested in production for years. * **Governance constraints:** Any change to the underlying strategy set must go through onchain governance or a publicly visible delayed execution process. #### Q3: Where can I view my yield income? **A:** You can view it at any time in **Transaction History** or **Portfolio**. Each yield entry is credited hourly, usually labeled as **Yield Reward** or **Interest**. #### Q4: Why is my withdrawable amount different from my balance? **A:** Withdrawals must reserve a **dynamic safety buffer**. If you have open positions, part of your assets is locked as margin. That portion can still earn yield, but it cannot be withdrawn until your margin requirements allow it. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
