Below is a high-level overview of its key features, architecture, and how it manages security & risk.


Key Features

  • Stable, Diversified Yield: Earn yield from real-world private credit strategies uncorrelated with crypto markets.

  • Auto-Compounding Engine: Weekly streamed interest is auto-redeployed and reflected in the token's rising redemption value.

  • Seamless Liquidity Access: Scheduled redemption windows and real-time withdrawals powered by a buffer system and optional AMMs.

  • Governance-Led Strategy Management: YieldNest DAO governs strategies, assets, and parameters through on-chain voting.

  • Security-First Infrastructure: Includes audited smart contracts, DECO oracle integration, and live monitoring (Hypernative, Defimon).

  • Guard Validation Engine: Enforces governance-approved rules and secure execution for all transactions within the MAX LRT architecture.

  • ERC-4626 Compliant: Fully compatible with other DeFi protocols and yield strategies.

  • Liquidity Windows + Buffer: Scheduled redemption periods + continuous withdrawal liquidity.


Vault Mechanics

  • Deposit & Mint: Deposit USDC to mint ynRWAx 1:1; value grows over time.

  • Yield Accrual: Issuers prepay interest weekly. Interest is streamed to users.

  • Redemption: Full withdrawal allowed at maturity of each product. Early exits are possible via buffer or AMM (fees may apply).

  • Buffer Design: 20% of funds remain in buffer to facilitate early liquidity/utility

  • Smart Contracts: Fully audited, on-chain logic governed by YieldNest DAO.

  • Default Protection: Legal enforcement + collateral liquidation procedures pre-engaged.


Value Accrual Example

ynRWAx auto-compounds real-world yield, gradually increasing the token's redemption value over time. The token does not rebase; instead, its share price increases as yield accrues from private credit strategies.

Value Accrual Example (assuming 15% APY for ynRWAx)

1.150 USDC

ynRWAx does not rebase. Instead, the token's value grows through a rising share price as yield is streamed and compounded from off-chain repayments.


Governance, Curation & Security

  • Curated Issuers: Validated independently by Bird & Bird, ensuring asset legitimacy and compliance.

  • Oracle Integration: DECO-powered TLS proof framework.

    • We plan to implement DECO, a privacy-preserving oracle protocol. Using advanced cryptographic techniques, DECO enables users to prove facts about their web (TLS) sessions to oracles without revealing sensitive data. All RWA assets will be accompanied by DECO-secured proofs, providing verifiable Web2 records on-chain.

  • Audited Codebase: Reviewed by leading firms.

  • Live Monitoring: Hypernative and Defimon integrations.

  • Upgrade Safety: Timelock + role-based control + proxy architecture.

  • Governance: Parameter management and strategic oversight are transparently governed by the YieldNest DAO and eventually a dedicated SubDAO.

All smart contracts powering the ynRWAx vault are reviewed and audited by leading blockchain security firms. Third-party partners, such as Hypernative and Defimon provide additional runtime monitoring and threat detection. The vault utilizes role-based access control, time-lock enforcement, and an upgradable proxy architecture to ensure safety, transparency, and flexibility.

Users are encouraged to review the open-source code and published audit reports.


ynRWAx Vault Design (Happy flow) - deep dive for clarity

The ynRWAx Vault provides exposure to curated real-world credit strategies while delivering weekly, auto-compounded yield on USDC. This section offers a detailed breakdown of the "Happy Flow" an ideal operating scenario using a 3-month cycle. This cycle is not only a simplified illustration but also the structure used in the initial release of ynRWAx. Over time, ynRWAx will evolve to stack multiple durations with staggered maturities. Users will also be able to stake ynRWAx to earn additional yield and have their capital automatically rolled into longer-duration credit positions, creating a continuously compounding, dynamic yield product.

High-level overview of ynRWAx

Deposit & Minting

Users deposit USDC and mint ynRWAx at a 1:1 ratio. The token value increases over time as yield is accrued and auto-compounded. Deposits are always open and processed on a rolling basis.

Core Mechanics

  • Duration: 90 days per credit cycle (initially used as the base example; future cycles may include multiple durations with staggered maturities)

  • Initial Capital Split: 80% to issuer, 20% held in liquidity buffer

  • Yield Distribution: Yield is prepaid weekly by the issuer and streamed over 7 days

  • Liquidity Events: Redemption is always possible via the buffer. Slippage or fees may apply for large mid-cycle withdrawals. During post-cycle maturity windows, users can withdraw all of their liquidity without restriction.


Lifecycle Timeline: Happy Flow

Phase

Time

Description

Pre-Deposit

T-1

User deposits USDC → Receives ynRWAx at 1:1

Cycle Start

T0

80% of funds deployed to issuer; 20% to buffer

Yield Week 1

T1

Issuer prepays interest → streamed to users over 7 days

Ongoing

T2–T12

New inflows split to buffer or auto compounded; yield prepayment continues

Maturity

T13

Principle + final interest repaid → Full liquidity available to users

Rollover

T13+1

Unclaimed capital auto-rolls into the next cycle


Example Transaction Flow

T-1: Pre-Deposit

  • Deo deposits 500K USDC → 500K ynRWAx

  • Sean deposits 500K USDC → 500K ynRWAx

  • Dan deposits 200K USDC → 200K ynRWAx

  • Total Vault Balance: 1.2M USDC

T0: First Allocation

  • 1M USDC (80%) sent to the issuer

  • 200K USDC (20%) retained in the buffer

  • Issuer prepays 1-week interest on 1M USDC @ 15% APR → 2,884 USDC

  • Interest added to buffer → Streamed over 1 week → Token value increases

T1: New Deposits

  • the 200K USDC enters vault

  • 100K sent to issuer, 100K added to buffer (this maintains the 20% buffer threshold)

  • New principal: 1.1M USDC → Interest prepayment: 3,173 USDC → Streamed

T2–T12: Steady-State Operations

  • Additional inflows follow the same 50/50 logic, subject to buffer utilization at the end of each period

  • If the buffer drops below 20%, a larger share of new inflows may be redirected to restore it

  • Yield continues to accrue and be distributed weekly

  • Token price rises proportionally to accrued interest

T13: Cycle Maturity

  • Issuer repays full principal + final interest

  • Vault now holds 100% liquidity (e.g., 6M USDC)

  • Users may:

    • Redeem with no restrictions during the maturity window

    • Let tokens auto-roll into the next cycle seamlessly

T13+1: Rollover

  • The unclaimed capital is reallocated for new durations

  • Weekly yield streaming resumes in the next cycle


Design Benefits

  • Predictable Yield: Weekly interest streaming = consistent, visible growth

  • Always-On Liquidity: Buffer enables mid-cycle exits

  • Hands-Free Rollover: Stay in position with uninterrupted compounding

  • Security & Enforcement: Issuers are legally bound; collateral can be liquidated on default


Roadmap & Extensions

  • Multi-Duration Support: Parallel cycles with mixed durations.

  • Spectra Integration: Split principal vs. yield tokens.

  • Staking ynRWAx: For higher yield and first redemption rights

  • Tranching: Senior/Junior structures for risk separation.

  • ynUSDx Arbitrage Strategy: Use underpricing arbitrage to optimize returns.

  • Secondary Buffer: ynUSDx can absorb excess withdrawals with a 0% exit fee.

  • Leveraged RWA Strategy: Replicate Securitize-Morpho architecture with rate-aware liquidation and looping via Euler.

Roadmap - Strategy ideas

ynUSDx Arbitrage Allocation into ynRWAx

ynUSDx Arbitrage Allocation into ynRWAx

Market Arbitrage Strategy ynUSDx can strategically allocate into ynRWAx by capturing arbitrage between the real value of ynRWAx and its pool price. Occasionally, the pool price of ynRWAx may dip below its intrinsic value due to short-term confidence imbalances. ynUSDx can exploit this by buying discounted ynRWAx on the market.

Strategy Template

  • Up to 20% of ynUSDx can be allocated to ynRWAx.

  • Whenever ynRWAx trades at a >0.3% discount, buy up to 2% of ynUSDx TVL per day worth of ynRWAx.

  • Hold the position until the next ynRWAx redemption window. Redeem partially or fully based on performance.

Fast-Withdrawal Buffer Facility

ynRWAx can use ynUSDx as a secondary buffer for fast withdrawals, with a 0% withdrawal fee.

This setup allows ynRWAx to provide near-instant liquidity via ynUSDx, enhancing capital efficiency and user experience.

Fast-Withdrawal Buffer Facility

ynRWAx Looping on Levered RWA Strategy (external strategy)

Replicate the Securitize–Morpho model in a permissionless, Ethereum-native environment.

  • Design a fundamental rate oracle with anomaly protection (e.g., Aave Capo-style).

  • Ensure liquidation risks are minimized through robust on-chain checks.
