# Platform Overview

Learn more about the technology behind OpenTrade.

## **Summary**

The OpenTrade Platform consists of a web application and API running on a blockchain protocol that supports a wide variety of stablecoin lending and yield products.

<figure><img src="/files/AFJXxrQh1Bm19b2l3iKq" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Products**

OpenTrade's initial products built on the protocol are focused on stablecoin yield.

Our [Treasury Management & Yield Product](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview) enables Web3 and Web2 fintechs to power embedded yield products for their customers. It also helps institutional investors manage treasury cash.

[Product Overview](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### **Integrations**

The Platform has been designed to be extensible and composable across other Web2 and Web3 applications. We're currently working on integrations with several other credit markets, market makers, and exchanges to provide more utility, liquidity, and possibilities to OpenTrade users.

### **Embedded & White Labeling**

While we provide a user interface with our web application, users and partners can develop their own interfaces on the protocol and integrate with their existing systems.

### **Institutional Yield Infrastructure**

Partners, like exchanges, custodians, and wallets can leverage OpenTrade's platform and legal framework to provide institutional grade yield products to their customers.

## Blockchain Protocol

OpenTrade's blockchain protocol is a fork of Perimeter, an open-source stablecoin lending protocol developed by [Circle Research](https://www.circle.com/en/circle-research), a division of Circle Internet Financial LLC ("Circle").

The blockchain protocol is a series of smart-contracts deployed on Ethereum and Avalanche that are based largely on ERC-4626 and ERC-20 standards.

Learn more about the blockchain protocol here:

{% content-ref url="/spaces/XB36F8w05PtbxlF2D9IN/pages/zWfWMsNPPCOviCKO2iEZ" %}
[Blockchain Protocol](/developers/blockchain-protocol)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Web Application

The web application is a cloud-based web application accessed through the browser. It provides an intuitive user interface for interacting with our stablecoin yield products, but others are free to develop their own interfaces on the protocol and API.

Learn more about the web application here:

# Web Application

Learn more about the OpenTrade Web Application

The OpenTrade web application is a cloud-hosted web application that serves primarily as an interface to OpenTrade's [Blockchain Protocol](/developers/blockchain-protocol).&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/wdSUkCMoXiUMlTuNpQtt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The web application allows users to interact directly with the protocol by connecting their white-listed wallets and displaying relevant information, data, and workflow to assist users in interacting with the protocol.&#x20;

# Integrations (APIs)

OpenTrade provides a protocol and REST APIs for seamless integrations and reporting.

There are three primary means of integrating,  white-labelling, and/or embedding the stablecoin yield vaults into your existing applications. You can use one, some, or all of them depending on your desired experience and operating model.&#x20;

<table><thead><tr><th width="214">Integration Path</th><th width="177">Function</th><th>Use</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Protocol</td><td>Read / Write</td><td>Integrating to the protocol enables you to automate deposits, withdrawals, and read contract and account data.

# Blockchain Protocol

Learn more about the blockchain protocol underpinning OpenTrade products.

OpenTrade's blockchain protocol is based on Perimeter, an open-source blockchain protocol developed by [Circle Research](https://www.circle.com/en/circle-research), a division of [Circle](https://www.circle.com), to support USDC lending markets and applications. The protocol is largely built on composable, open-source standards, including [ERC-20](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-20/), [ERC-4626](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-4626/).&#x20;

The OpenTrade protocol is developed and maintained by Open Trade Technology Ltd.  It has been modified extensively to support a nearly limitless variety of RWA and DeFi backed stablecoin yield vaults.&#x20;

## Overview

The protocol can support a wide variety of on-chain structured credit and lending products, including but not limited to:

* Yield products involving both real world assets ("RWA") and digital assets
* Collateralised and uncollateralized loans
* Single-sided and multi-sided credit markets&#x20;
* Primary and secondary credit markets
* Fixed rate and variable rate products
* Fixed term and open-term products

We intend to continue to extend and enhance the protocol to support an increasingly wide variety of use cases across both RWAs and digital assets.&#x20;

## ERC-4626

The core of the protocol is based on [ERC-4626](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-4626/), an open-source standard for yield bearing token vaults. It is an extension of ERC-20 token standard. It has been designed to optimise and unify the technical parameters of yield-bearing vaults.&#x20;

It provides a standard smart-contract interface for tokenised yield-bearing vaults. A yield-bearing vault is a smart contract that allows users to deposit different ERC-20 tokens into a pool of tokens in exchange for vTokens (vault tokens). Vault tokens give their holders a claim on underlying asset tokens held by the vault, plus any profits the pool has earned, minus any losses, defaults, and fees.&#x20;

Vault tokens can be converted to asset tokens, and asset tokens can be converted to vault tokens, with the exchange occurring at an exchange rate determined by the smart-contract.

The standard is fully described in [EIP-4626](/welcome-to-opentrade/supported-blockchain-networks) as published and maintained by Ethereum.org.

## OpenTrade Implementation

When lenders deposit ERC-20 stablecoin tokens (USDC, EURC, USDT, etc) into the vault, they are issued ERC-20 tokens called vault tokens in return. This is done at the current exchange rate.&#x20;

Each vault token represents a unit of ownership in the vault and its underlying assets, which are principally collateralised and uncollateralized USDC loans and USDC.

Loans are structured and disbursed to borrowers from these vaults. As loans are issued, loan repayments are made, and interest is accrued, the exchange of each vault increases, meaning the value of each vault token increases by a corresponding amount. If defaults occur, the exchange of each vault decreases, meaning each vault token decreases by a corresponding amount.

When a lender withdraws from the vault, they exchange their vault tokens for the underlying asset token (USDC) at the current exchange rate.&#x20;

Our team will inform you when onboarding is complete. After onboarding, follow these steps to  connect to OpenTrade and get ready to invest.&#x20;

1. Visit the OpenTrade Web Application
2. Connect the digital asset wallet you want to whitelist. This will be the wallet you use to interact with the OpenTrade platform going forward.&#x20;
3. Read the Platform [Terms of Service](/terms-and-conditions/platform-terms-of-service)
4. Accept the Platform [Terms of Service](/terms-and-conditions/platform-terms-of-service) and approve the transaction in your wallet.&#x20;
5. After accepting the Platform Terms of Service, OpenTrade will whitelist your wallet onto one or more Vaults.&#x20;
6. OpenTrade will inform you via email when this is complete. You are now ready to invest.&#x20;


# Onboarding

Learn more about the onboarding process and eligibility requirements.

Onboarding involves undergoing KYC/AML/CFT screening, executing the master lending agreement, and white-listing your wallet(s).&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
**Sign Up Today!:** If you're interesting in onboarding to OpenTrade, please contact us via the [contact form](https://www.opentrade.io/contact) on our website and one of our team members will contact you to begin the onboarding process.
{% endhint %}

## Onboarding Steps

### 1. Undergo and Pass KYC/AML/CFT Checks

The onboarding process involves industry standard KYC/AML and sanctions screening, including but not limited to identity verification of directors and beneficial owners, sanctions screening, PEP screening, verification of company documentation and ownership structure, adverse media searches, verification of source of wealth, among others.&#x20;

OpenTrade uses both internal and 3rd party providers to carry out due diligence during the onboarding process, which involves processing of sensitive personal data.&#x20;

For more information on our privacy policy, see [here](/terms-and-conditions/privacy-and-cookie-policies).&#x20;

### 2. Execution of Master Lending Agreement

Once a Lender passes KYC/AML/CFT checks, they will execute a [Master Lending Agreement](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview/legal/master-lending-agreement) with the Borrower, which governs the lending activity done on the Platform.&#x20;

This will be issued to the Lender's authorised signatory via Docusign.&#x20;

### 3. White-Listing Supported Digital Asset Wallet

The final step is to white-list the wallet address you provided during the onboarding process. Only white-listed [supported digital asset wallets](/welcome-to-opentrade/supported-digital-wallets) can interact with the OpenTrade Platform. Once white-listed, you will be able to interact with the platform using this wallet.&#x20;


# Eligibility Requirements

Learn more about who is eligible (and who is not) to use OpenTrade.

## No Retail Users

Notwithstanding passing KYC/AML/CFT checks and sanctions screening, OpenTrade clients must be high-net worth individuals, companies, professional clients, sophisticated investors, accredited investors, or the equivalent in the jurisdiction in which they reside and/or operate.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Retail users are not eligible for onboarding to OpenTrade.**&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Prohibited Countries

OpenTrade will not onboard any individual or company residing and/or operating in countries subject to sanctions by US, UK, EU, and UN government agencies.&#x20;

OpenTrade will not onboard companies or individuals who are located, organised, or resident in the following countries:&#x20;

* North Korea
* Cuba
* Iran
* Syria
* Russia
* Any other country subject to comprehensive United States sanctions and/or embargoes, UN sanctions, or if you are on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals List;
* Any company or individual which supply any goods or services to any individual or organisation located, organised, or resident in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, or Syria or any other country subject to United States comprehensive sanctions and/or embargoes

## Enhanced Due Diligence

Enhanced due diligence may be required during onboarding for any Lender which present a high financial crime risk to OpenTrade.&#x20;

In addition to standard KYC/AML/CFT measures, EDD can be required due to a number of factors, including if the lender has been asses as having a high risk of money laundering based on our internal risk assessment, company structure, industry, reputation, involvement of PEPs, companies and individuals located, organised, or resident in jurisdictions that FATF recommends increased monitoring and/or the FCA considers "High Risk", among others.&#x20;

OpenTrade reserves the right to apply part or all of EDD to medium or low risk Lenders if deemed necessary.&#x20;


# How to Invest in a Vault

Learn more about how to make loans on the OpenTrade platform.

Lenders can connect their white-listed [Supported Digital Asset Wallet](/welcome-to-opentrade/supported-digital-wallets) and lend stablecoins into one or more Treasury Management smart-contract vault(s).&#x20;

In return, the Lender will receive [vault tokens](/developers/blockchain-protocol#erc-4626) at the current exchange rate.

Vault tokens are issued to the Lender's whitelisted wallet. It is the sole responsibility of the Lender to ensure proper security and custody of the vault tokens it's issued.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Vault tokens are currently non-transferable and can only be issued to and redeemed by white-listed wallets that have undergone [onboarding](/getting-started/onboarding). &#x20;

# Investment via Transfer Guide

Learn how to use the Investment via Transfer process with OpenTrade

Using the Investment via Transfer process with OpenTrade requires prior approval and testing with OpenTrade to ensure safe flow of funds. Do not attempt this method until you have been given prior approval from and completed testing with OpenTrade. Your account manager will guide you through this process.&#x20;

## Who is this investment method for?

* Users who wish to use a stablecoin on a non-supported network (e.g. USDC on Solana).
* Users who cannot invest from a smart-contract enabled wallet (e.g. a Circle Mint, Bitso, or Coinbase Exchange account)

## How does it work?

* Users can make investments in OpenTrade vaults using a stablecoin on a non-supported network (e.g. USDC on Solana) and/or from a non-smart-contract enabled wallet.&#x20;
* Withdrawals from OpenTrade vaults can be repaid using a stablecoin on a non-supported network (e.g. USDC on Solana) and/or to a non-smart-contract enabled wallet.
* To do so, you will need to create an **OpenTrade Account** that will connect to our Web Application to notify us of investments, view balances, hold OpenTrade vault tokens, and request withdrawals. This can be created with a simple email address!
* **The OpenTrade Account will not hold any funds** - it is simply used to log into OpenTrade, hold [vault tokens](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview/vault-tokens) (which have no monetary value), and request withdrawals. All investments will be sent from your own wallet and all withdrawals will be repaid to your own wallet.

## What stablecoins are supported via this investment method?

* USDC on any network it is natively issued on
* EURC on any network it is natively issued on&#x20;
* USDT on ETH and TRON

If you wish to use any other stablecoin please let us know and we will try to accomodate you.&#x20;

## Getting Started

Follow the steps below to get ready to use the Investment via Transfer process with OpenTrade.&#x20;

### 1) Create an OpenTrade Account

* This wallet is how you log into the OpenTrade Web App.&#x20;
* This wallet is how you will notify OpenTrade of investments that you have made, and request withdrawals&#x20;
* This wallet will store vault tokens, which will be issued when you make investments and are used to track the value of your investments and process withdrawals.
* Creating an OpenTrade Account requires only an email address.

{% hint style="success" %}

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Vault tokens do not confer any rights or hold any value. If you lose them or lose access to your wallet, your funds are safe. There is a manual recovery process for vault tokens.&#x20;

# End-to-End

This guide describes the end-to-end set up, investment, and withdrawal process for Fireblocks users.

## 1. Setting Up Fireblocks

To connect your Fireblocks workspace to OpenTrade, there are two easy steps to complete. Completing both steps typically takes 10-15 minutes.&#x20;

### A. Whitelist the OpenTrade Vault Contract

This enables you to interact with OpenTrade vault contracts.&#x20;

A detailed guide for how to do this can be found [here](https://docs.opentrade.io/user-guides/fireblocks-users/whitelisting-contracts).&#x20;

{% content-ref url="/pages/XgxhmQEFnuNxHEpBBEL4" %}
[Whitelisting Contracts](/getting-started/fireblocks-users/whitelisting-contracts)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### B. Configure your Policies

Policies are Fireblocks’ rules engine. The Policies will control who in your organisation can initiate and authorise transactions with OpenTrade and which of your accounts can interact with OpenTrade. This can ultimate be done in many ways according to your specific requirements.&#x20;

A detailed example of a Policy configuration that works with OpenTrade can be found [here](https://docs.opentrade.io/user-guides/fireblocks-users/configuring-your-tap).

{% content-ref url="/pages/CQBPxrKNvIPESzeZKKgi" %}
[Configuring Your Policies](/getting-started/fireblocks-users/configuring-your-policies)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## 3. Creating Vault Accounts

Fireblocks Vault Accounts are a collection of wallets. You may already have one configured. At a minimum, each vault account needs a wallet for&#x20;

1. Holding the liquidity asset, USDC or EURC, depending on the vault(s) you wish to invest in
2. Holding the native network token for paying gas fees (ETH for Ethereum, AVAX for Avalanche

If you'd like to track OpenTrade Vault Token balances in Fireblocks, you can easily list the vault token in your workspace. A guide for how to do this can be found [here](/getting-started/fireblocks-users/listing-a-vault-token).&#x20;

{% content-ref url="/pages/c78BYXFTRqg0ARE4W5qr" %}
[Listing a Vault Token](/getting-started/fireblocks-users/listing-a-vault-token)
{% endcontent-ref %}

#### Dedicated Client Vaults

If you wish to create a dedicated vault for each of your customers, you can simply create a vault account for each client. This can make reporting a reconciliation easier.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/rlE6SZeTBc5Zg07zwC07" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When performing operations on behalf of your customers, be sure to&#x20;

1. Share each client vault wallet address with OpenTrade for whitelisting&#x20;
2. Connect their specific vault account to OpenTrade to perform deposits and withdrawals on their behalf &#x20;
3. Configure your TAP such that each client vault is authorised to interact with OpenTrade vault tokens. You can do this by selecting them as Source Accounts in the TAP rule.&#x20;

## 4. Making Investments

Once your desired Fireblocks account is funded with USDC/EURC and gas tokens, you can make  the loans via OpenTrade Web App. To do so:

1. Open the [OpenTrade Web App](https://app.open-trade.io/) and connect the whitelisted Fireblocks wallet via WalletConnect. A detailed guide for how to connect via WalletConnect can be found [here](https://docs.opentrade.io/user-guides/fireblocks-users/connecting-via-walletconnect).&#x20;
2. Select the appropriate OpenTrade vault (e.g. Flexible Term USDC Vault)
3. Click “Invest”
4. Input the amount to be lent and click "Approve Spending Cap"
5. Approve the spending cap in your Fireblocks App
6. Confirm the amount and click "Invest"
7. USDC will be transferred from the wallet to the OpenTrade Vault and the wallet will receive vault tokens at the current exchange rate
8. The transfer will show as "Pending Advance" until the Advance Processing Time lapses, after which time it will begin accruing interest. Currently the Flexible Term USDC and EURC Vaults are set to accrue interest T+0, so any deposits made on a business day will begin accruing interest immediately

A detailed guide on the investment process with Fireblocks can be found [here](https://docs.opentrade.io/user-guides/fireblocks-users/making-an-investment).

{% endcontent-ref %}

## 5. Making Withdrawal Request

Once your or your underlying client requests wishes withdraw their funds from the product, you can process a withdrawal request using the OpenTrade Web App:

1. Open the [OpenTrade Web App](https://app.open-trade.io/) and connect the whitelisted Fireblocks wallet via WalletConnect&#x20;
2. Select the appropriate vault (e.g. Flexible Term USDC Vault)
3. Click “Withdraw”
4. Input the amount to be withdrawn click "Submit Withdrawal Request"
5. Approve in your Fireblocks App
6. USDC will be transferred from the wallet and the wallet will receive vault tokens at the current exchange rate
7. USDC will automatically be sent back to your wallet within timescales described below and the corresponding amount of tokens will be burned.

A detailed guide on how to perform a withdrawal request can be found here.&#x20;

{% content-ref url="/pages/utGmeoqQCPqhgU3yWPDW" %}
[Making a Withdrawal Request](/getting-started/fireblocks-users/making-a-withdrawal-request)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Tracking  Your/Your Clients' Balances and Positions

There are two ways in which you can keep track of and share balances and positions of yourself and/or your underlying clients:

#### **Fireblocks UI**

Through the use of segregated wallets, the stablecoin and vault token balances shown on the Fireblocks Console per wallet will correspond directly to each underlying client, as shown in the screenshot below.  To learn how to list a token in Fireblocks, you can access a detailed guide [here](https://docs.opentrade.io/user-guides/fireblocks-users/listing-a-vault-token).&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/7mKyYE9PcFXtjTrMmaaE" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### OpenTrade API

You can integrate the OpenTrade API to track balances and performance in real-time.

1. REST API can be used to return live data on each account, including current balances, interest rates, pending withdrawals by calling GET /vaultsAccount/{vaultAddress}/{accountAddress} endpoint and passing in the vault address and wallet address
2. GraphQL API allows you to query live and historical data over specific periods of time including balances, interest rates, transaction history, and interest accrued by calling the getPoolFlexAccountForDateRange query and passing in the vault address, wallet address, and start and end dates.&#x20;

\
Documentation for both the REST API and graphQL APIs is available on request. Unlimited technical support can be made available during the integration period as well as during production run.&#x20;


# Whitelisting Contracts

Learn how to whitelist OpenTrade contract addresses in Fireblocks

## How to Whitelist OpenTrade Contracts in Fireblocks

One of the first things you should do before connecting to OpenTrade via your Fireblocks workspace is to whitelist the OpenTrade contract addresses. By default, Fireblocks blocks interactions with non-whitelisted wallets, so doing this first can avoid your Fireblocks workspace blocking transactions with OpenTrade contracts.&#x20;

# Configuring Your Policies

Learn how to configure your Fireblocks TAP to interact with OpenTrade

## Configuring Policies for OpenTrade Vaults

Fireblocks has a powerful Policy engine which sets rules governing your interactions with both internal and external addresses and contracts.&#x20;

At a minimum, most Fireblocks workspaces prohibit interactions with non-whitelisted addresses, so you must first whitelist OpenTrade contract addresses via the process above. Once whitelisted, you can configure Policies that governs interactions with those whitelisted addresses.&#x20;

Fireblocks will consider interactions with OpenTrade as Contract Calls. At a minimum, your Policies must allow for Approve Transactions and Contract Calls with the OpenTrade contract addresses you've whitelisted.&#x20;

The guide below shows a basic rule configuration for interacting with OpenTrade Loan Vaults.

{% hint style="warning" %}
There are many other possible rules and combinations of rules you could configure which depend largely on other Policies you may have already configured in your workspace. **It is your sole responsibility to ensure the safety and security of your workspace's Policies.**

At all stages of the transaction, loans are fully collateralised at 100% LTV. At no point are loans under or uncollateralized. The Borrower is legally restricted to use loan proceeds solely to acquire the applicable collateral and to have acquired the collateral before or on the Loan Commencement Date.

{% hint style="success" %}
For information on each vault and its specific eligible loan collateral, see [here](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/stablecoin-yield-vaults).&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Purchase and Sale of Collateral

OpenTrade SPC, as advised by the Investment Advisor (Five Sigma Finance Ltd), engages in trading activity including the purchase and sale of loan collateral to ensure all loans are fully backed with eligible collateral and that withdrawal requests are processed according to the Lender's instructions.&#x20;

The purchase and sale of loan collateral is done through a network of regulated financial institutions and broker/dealers based in the United Kingdom and Switzerland. OpenTrade SPC pays a fee to the financial institutions and broker/dealers based on the amount of collateral purchased and sold through them.&#x20;

## Custody of Collateral

All collateral is held in segregated accounts in the name of OpenTrade SPC, Treasury Management Segregated Portfolio 1 at regulated custodians in the United Kingdom and Switzerland. OpenTrade SPC pays a fee to these regulated custodians based on the value of the collateral held with them.&#x20;

## Lender's Security Interest over Collateral

The Borrower has granted a valid and fully perfected security interest in the accounts in which the collateral will be held pursuant to the [Security Trust Deed](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview/legal/security-trust-deed).&#x20;

The Security Trust Deed is a legal agreement that arranges for a [Security Trustee](https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/1-107-7234?transitionType=Default\&contextData=\(sc.Default\)\&firstPage=true#:~:text=A%20security%20trustee%20is%20the,would%20be%20costly%20and%20impractical.) to hold a master security interest in the collateral held in the Borrower's accounts on behalf of the Lenders.&#x20;

In a default event, each Lender can enforce their individual right to the collateral securing their loans through the Security Trustee and instruct the Security Trustee to either liquidate the collateral or hold the collateral to maturity. The proceeds of either would be then used to repay lenders for loans in default.&#x20;


# Vault Tokens

Learn more about Vault Tokens and their role in OpenTrade's Treasury Management & Yield Product.

## Vault Tokens&#x20;

Vault Tokens are ERC-20 tokens that are unique to each Loan Vault.&#x20;

Lender's mint vault tokens when loans are made and redeem vault tokens when loans are terminated via a withdrawal.&#x20;

Each vault token is fungible within the loan vault it was issued from, but at this time they are not fungible across vaults. Tokens represent units of ownership in secured loans issued through the Loan Vault.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Tokens confer no legal rights or obligations on either the holder or issuer and are used only as a means of automating the accounting, authentication, and settlement process in a way that is interoperable and composable with Web3 tooling and infrastructure. The legal rights and obligations of the parties are governed by the[ Master Lending Agreement. ](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview/legal/master-lending-agreement)
{% endhint %}

### Adding the Vault Token to Your Wallet

If you'd like to view your vault token balances directly from within your wallet, you simply need to add the token address to your wallet. This is varies by wallet but is generally done by copying the Loan Vault contract address and inputing it into your wallet under "Add Token". Once done, the token symbol and your token balance will automatically be imported into your wallet. Please reference your wallet providers instructions for adding a token for further details.&#x20;


# Exchange Rates

Learn more about the exchange rate between vault tokens and liquidity assets (eg. stablecoins)

## Vault Token Exchange Rate

Vault Tokens and the Liquidity Asset (e.g. USDC, USDT) are exchanged during investments and withdrawals at a defined exchange rate. This exchange rate translates interest accrued / gains / losses into an on-chain value.

#### *Simple Example:*

On Day 1, the exchange rate between the Vault Token and USDC is 1.00.&#x20;

You invest 1.00 USDC and receive 1.00 Vault Token.

The vault has an interest rate of 5% APY  for 365 days.&#x20;

On Day 366, the exchange rate will be 1.05

This means you can redeem 1 Vault Token for 1.05 USDC; 1.00 USDC being your original principal, and 0.05 USDC being your accrued interest.&#x20;

## **Exchange Rate Methods**&#x20;

Vaults have multiple different exchange rate calculation methods which correspond to the type of yield product the vault is supporting.&#x20;

### **Compounding**

A variable annualised interest rate is converted into a daily exchange rate and compounded each day.&#x20;

It is designed to support flexible term loan products pegged to a variable benchmark rate or index rate such as SOFR.&#x20;

It is calculated by taking the Loan Fee Rate for that day, calculating the Daily Interest Rate by taking 1 day of interest (compounded daily), and adding it to the prior days exchange rate.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Simple Example:** On Day 1, a Lender would receive 1 Vault Token for every 1 USDC lent. If the Loan Fee Rate was 4.50% APR for that day, they could exchange 1 Vault Token for 1.000122 USDC the following day, which reflects a daily compounded interest rate of 0.01223%.
{% endhint %}

### **Dynamic**

The exchange rate rises and falls according to the price of the underlying collateral or benchmark.&#x20;

This method is used in the [High Yield Corporate Bond Vault,](broken://spaces/XB36F8w05PtbxlF2D9IN/pages/FchDqvNRQrFe7oKWcomU) where the exchange rate will track the daily gains and losses of the underlying Blackrock SHYG ETF share collateral.&#x20;

The calculation for a dynamic exchange rate is as follows:

Exchange Rate = \[ (Total Number of Collateral Shares / Units ) x ( Collateral Share / Unit Price) ] + (Cash) ]-(Daily Fees) / Total Tokens Outstanding

{% hint style="info" %}
See [here](broken://pages/emypL1NpOoSqCCcCrPkE) for an example of how a dynamic exchange rate is used in an active vault.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### **Linear**

A variable annualised interest rate that is not compounded. The annualised interest rate is converted into a rate which increases linearly each day.&#x20;

It is designed to support products that maintain a fixed interest rate where principal and interest does not compound daily.&#x20;

### **Term**

&#x20;A fixed annualised interest rate for fixed term loan products. The fixed annualised interest rate is converted into a rate which increases linearly each day until the maturity date.&#x20;

It is designed to support products that maintain a fixed interest rate where principal and interest does not compound daily and there is specific maturity date where principal and interest are due to be repaid. This mirrors the exchange rate method currently used in our [V4 Fixed Term Vaults](broken://spaces/XB36F8w05PtbxlF2D9IN/pages/Nv4JjvdJ1EsMjERVbtsl)

For Fixed Term Vaults, the exchange rate is calculated as:

*Value of Principal and Interest at Maturity / Outstanding Vault Tokens*

The exchange rate is updated at the beginning of each loan cycle based on the Loan Principal Amount and the Confirmed Loan Fee Rate. &#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Simple Example:** For a 360 day fixed term loan at 5.00% APR, on Day 1 the lender would receive 1 Vault Token for every 1 USDC in loan principal. On Day 360, the exchange rate will be 1.05 and the Lender can redeem 1 Vault Token for 1.05 USDC.&#x20;
{% endhint %}


# Calendar & Business Days

Learn more about calendar and business days.

### **Calendar Days**&#x20;

Calendar Day means any day on which USDC can be transferred, including Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.

### **Business Days**

Business Day means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks are open for business generally in London, New York, and Cayman Islands.&#x20;

### **Close of Business**

Close of Business means 6pm GMT/BST (Greenwich Mean Time/British Summer Time);


# Interest Rate & Fees

Learn more about interest rates and fees for Flexible Term USD Vaults.

## Interest Rate & Fees

The interest rate, known as the **Loan Fee Rate**, is the annual rate of interest used to calculate the amount of interest payable to the Lender. In other words, this is the annual interest rate accrued by Lenders each day for Loans made to the Borrower (OpenTrade SPC).&#x20;

In the Flexible Term USDC Vault, the interest rate is set to a public benchmark. Principal and interest is compounded daily.&#x20;

<table><thead><tr><th width="190">Term</th><th>Definition</th><th>Payable By / To</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Benchmark Rate</td><td>An index rate published by trusted source that track the “risk free” rate of return / cost of overnight lending secured by US Treasury securities. This is currently the <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/TextView?type=daily_treasury_bill_rates&#x26;field_tdr_date_value=1&#x26;page=6">Daily Treasury Bill Rates </a>published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. </td><td>NA</td></tr><tr><td>Loan Fee Rate</td><td>The annual rate of interest earned by Lenders for each day their loan remains outstanding.</td><td><ul><li>Payable by the Borrower</li><li>Paid to the Lender</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Advisor Fee</td><td>A fee charged by the Advisor to cover the costs of advising OpenTrade SPC in buying / selling and managing the portfolio of Loan Collateral.</td><td><ul><li>Payable by the Borrower</li><li>Paid to the Advisor</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Platform Fee</td><td>A fee charged by the Platform Provider to cover the costs of developing and maintaining the OpenTrade Platform and related expenses.</td><td><p></p><ul><li>Payable by the Borrower</li><li>Paid to the Platform Provider</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Liquidity Fee</td><td>Paid to the Platform Provider to cover the cost of providing liquidity as required to ensure interest is payable immediately.  </td><td><p></p><ul><li>Payable by the Borrower</li><li>Paid to the Platform Provider</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Calculating the Loan Fee Rate

The Loan Fee Rate is calculated by subtracting the Benchmark Rate from Fees, where Fees are defined as the sum of the Advisor Fee, Platform Fee, and Spread.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
The Benchmark Rate is updated daily at the Withdrawal Cut-Off Time based on the [Daily Treasury Bill Rates ](https://home.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/TextView?type=daily_treasury_bill_rates\&field_tdr_date_value=1\&page=6)published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This means the Loan Fee Rate will change in line with any fluctuations in the Benchmark Rate.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

#### Example

<table><thead><tr><th width="172">Benchmark Rate</th><th width="135">Advisor Fee</th><th width="137">Platform Fee</th><th width="111">Liquidity Fee</th><th>Loan Fee Rate</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>5.25%</td><td>0.10%</td><td>0.20%</td><td>0.20%</td><td>4.75%</td></tr></tbody></table>

```json
.0525 - (0.001 + 0.002 + 0.002) = 0.0475
```

### Calculating the Daily Interest Rate

The Loan Fee Rate is transformed into a Daily Interest Rate each day by taking 1 day of the Loan Fee Rate, compounded daily

#### Example

Where the Loan Fee Rate = 0.0475 (4.75% APR),&#x20;

```json
(1 + .0475) ^ 1/365 - 1 = 0.01074598%
```

This daily interest rate is added to the prior days [exchange rate](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview/vault-tokens#flexible-term-vault-exchange-rate) to calculate the exchange rate for the next day.&#x20;

# Understanding APY vs. APR

While APR (Annual Percentage Rate) and APY (Annual Percentage Yield) sound similar, they are used for different types of products and measure different things.

### What is APR?

APR represents the annual cost of borrowing money. It is commonly used for products such as:

* Credit cards
* Mortgages
* Personal loans
* Auto loans

APR shows the interest rate charged over a year but generally does not account for the effects of compounding. When you borrow money, APR helps you understand the cost of that borrowing.

### What is APY?

APY represents the annual return earned on money that you deposit or invest. It is commonly used for products such as:

* Savings accounts
* High-yield savings accounts
* Money market accounts
* Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
* Yield-generating investment products

Unlike APR, APY includes the effect of compounding, meaning it reflects not only the yield earned on your principal balance but also the yield earned on previously accrued returns.

### **Why We Use APY?**

Our product is designed to help users earn yield on their assets. Because users are depositing assets and earning returns rather than borrowing money, APY is the most appropriate measure for communicating expected performance.

APY provides a more complete picture of potential annual returns because it accounts for the effects of compounding. This makes it the industry-standard metric used by banks, fintechs, and yield-generating investment products.

### Important Note

APY reflects an annualized return based on current rates and assumptions about compounding. Actual returns may vary depending on market conditions, changes in underlying yields, and the timing of deposits and withdrawals.

In simple terms:

APR tells you what you pay to borrow money.\
APY tells you what you earn on money you deposit or invest.

**Example:**

Suppose a product advertises a 5.50% APY and compounds returns daily.

What annual rate is actually being earned before the effects of compounding?

* APY: 5.50%
* APR: 5.35%

The APY is higher because each day's earnings are added to the balance and begin earning returns themselves.

For a product with daily compounding:

# Bankruptcy Remote Structure

More detail on the bankruptcy remote structure behind OpenTrade products.

## Summary

Currently, all loans made via OpenTrade's stablecoin yield products are made to a single Borrower, OpenTrade SPC, a segregated portfolio company registered in the Cayman Islands.&#x20;

OpenTrade SPC has been designed to be "bankruptcy remote" meaning its assets would not form part of the bankruptcy estate of any other entity involved in supporting the OpenTrade Platform.&#x20;

This is to ensure that loan collateral is protected and, in an extreme case, can be recovered by Lenders as secured creditors of the Borrower in a default event.&#x20;

## What is a Segregated Portfolio Company (SPC)?

The **segregated portfolio company** (**SPC**) is a type of exempted company in the Cayman Islands established under the Companies Act. &#x20;

An SPC is single legal entity that can create **Segregated Portfolios (**"**SP"**) such that the assets and liabilities of each Portfolio are legally separate from the assets and liabilities of any other Portfolio and from the SPC's general assets and liabilities.  This is known as the segregation principle.

The central tenets of the segregation principle, as prescribed by the Companies Act, are these:

As regards each Portfolio's assets:

* those assets are only available and may only be used to meet liabilities to the creditors and shareholders of the SPC who are, respectively, creditors in respect of that Portfolio and are entitled to recourse to those assets for that purpose; and
* those assets are not available and may not be used to meet liabilities to creditors of the SPC who are not creditors in respect of that Portfolio

As regards each Portfolio's liabilities (being liabilities in respect of or attributable to that Portfolio):

* each such liability extends only to, and the person in respect of that liability is entitled to have recourse only to:
  * firstly, that Portfolio's assets; and
  * secondly, unless the SPC's articles specifically prohibit, the SPC's general assets to the extent that Portfolio's assets are insufficient to meet the liability (and to extent that the SPC's general assets exceed any minimum capital amount lawfully required by a regulatory body in the Cayman Islands).
* each such liability does not extend to, and the person in respect of that liability is not entitled to have recourse to, any other Portfolio's assets.

The segregated-portfolio concept also exists in various other jurisdictions (such as Delaware, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Guernsey and Jersey) and has become increasingly well understood and recognised.  In May 2012, the Cayman Islands Court of Appeal, in *ABC Company (SPC) v J & Co. Ltd* (this was the first Cayman case to consider the SPC provisions), acknowledged the separateness of segregated portfolios while emphasising that the SPC’s status as a single legal entity. &#x20;

## OpenTrade SPC, Treasury Management Segregated Portfolio 1

OpenTrade SPC  holds segregated accounts for each portfolio and each product so that the assets and liabilities of each segregated portfolio are ring fenced from the assets and liabilities of its other segregated portfolios, and the Cayman SPC overall is ring fenced from the assets and liabilities of other entities involved in the OpenTrade ecosystem.&#x20;

The segregated portfolio of OpenTrade SPC which collateral for loans made via the Treasury Management & Yield Product is **OpenTrade SPC, Treasury Management Segregated Portfolio 1.** The assets in this segregated portfolio are only available to and may only be used to meet liabilities to Lenders who have made loans via the platform.&#x20;


# Master Lending Agreement

Learn more about the Master Lending Agreement.

OpenTrade's **Master Lending Agreement (MLA)** is a master agreement governing secured lending between Lenders and Borrowers on the OpenTrade Platform.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
For the Treasury Management Product, currently the only approved Borrower is OpenTrade SPC. The MLA will be executed between Lenders and OpenTrade SPC during the [onboarding process](/getting-started/onboarding).&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### What is the Master Lending Agreement (MLA)?

The MLA is an umbrella agreement that defines lending mechanics, rights and obligations of the parties, roles and responsibilities of the parties, definitions, and more.

Each individual Loan made under the MLA is documented via a [Loan Confirmation](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview/legal/loan-confirmations) which is a legally binding agreement specifying the amount and key terms of the loan.&#x20;

The OpenTrade MLA has been adapted for digital asset lending from the [Global Master Securities  Lending Agreement (GMLSA)](https://www.islaemea.org/gmsla-title-transfer/), a widely used standard legal framework published and maintained by the International Securities Lending Association (ISLA).&#x20;

### Key Terms of the MLA

* Definitions & Parties&#x20;
* [Loan Mechanics](broken://pages/Nm5jUyJvzSKLQhBvVTdU) (timing, events, payment dates, early withdrawals, rollovers etc)
* Calculation and payment of [rates and fees](broken://pages/7EuKOfQ7WQadsxbVUyOI)
* Borrower warrants that it has acquired or will acquire the [Collateral](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview/loan-collateral) on the [Loan Commencement Date](broken://pages/Nm5jUyJvzSKLQhBvVTdU#loan-commencement-and-confirmation) and has granted a valid and fully perfected security interest in the accounts in which the Collateral will be held pursuant to the [Security Trust Deed](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview/legal/security-trust-deed)
* Borrower agrees that the Loans (and any proceeds thereof) will be used solely to acquire the applicable Collateral and pay amounts due  including fees.&#x20;
* Borrower and lender warranties
* Default event(s) and consequences
* Termination, Notices, and Assignment&#x20;
* English Law as the governing law and jurisdiction

<br>


# Loan Confirmations

Learn more about Loan Confirmations.

The purpose of a Loan Confirmation is to confirm the terms and condition of the Loan entered into under the Master Loan Agreement. Loan Confirmations are legally binding documents issued to each Lender via email on the day of Loan Commencement.&#x20;

Loan Confirmations contain the key terms of loans made through the platform, including:

<table><thead><tr><th width="205">Field </th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Loaned Asset</td><td>The digital asset being lent; only USDC at this time. </td></tr><tr><td>Loan Amount</td><td>The principal of the loan in USDC. </td></tr><tr><td>Confirmed Loan Fee Rate</td><td>The fixed rate of interest payable to Lenders </td></tr><tr><td>Advisory Fee Rate</td><td>The % per annum paid by the Borrower to the Advisor, Five Sigma Finance Ltd</td></tr><tr><td>Platform Fee Rate</td><td>The % per annum paid by the Borrower to the Platform Provider, OpenTrade Technology Ltd</td></tr><tr><td>Contractual Currency</td><td>The underlying contractual currency in which assets and liabilities are denominated for audit and accounting purposes. </td></tr><tr><td>Collateral</td><td>The collateral securing the loan</td></tr><tr><td>Settlement Date</td><td>The date by which the Lender must deliver Loaned Assets to the Borrower</td></tr><tr><td>Loan Commencement Date</td><td>The date on which the Loan commences and interest and fees begins accruing. </td></tr><tr><td>Payment Date</td><td>The date on which the Borrower will deliver back to the Lender the Loan Amount plus Confirmed Loan Fee accrued in USDC, as well as when the Borrower will pay other fees specified under the Loan Confirmation.</td></tr><tr><td>Early Withdrawal Processing Period</td><td>The number of business days required to process Early Withdrawal Request(s) and deliver back to the Lender the Early Withdrawal Amount in USDC. </td></tr><tr><td>Early Withdrawal Request Fee Percentage</td><td>When the Lender requests to terminate a Loan (in part or in whole) via an Early Withdrawal Request, a fee equal to the amount of the Loan multiplied by the Early Withdrawal Request Fee Percentage will be deducted from the amount of the Loan to be terminated and paid to the Platform Provider.</td></tr><tr><td>Loan Maturity Date</td><td>The date on which the Loan terminates. </td></tr><tr><td>Automatic Roll-Over</td><td>By default, all loans have Automatic Roll-Over selected. Should a lender wish to change this, they can submit a Roll-Over Termination Notice via the Platform and the Loan will be repaid by the Payment Date. </td></tr><tr><td>Roll-Over Collateral</td><td>The eligible collateral to be used for the Roll-Over Loan.</td></tr><tr><td>Roll Date</td><td>The date on which the Rollover Loan commences, which is always the same business day as the Loan Maturity Date of the prior Loan(s). </td></tr></tbody></table>


# Security Trust Deed

Learn more about the security interest Lenders have in collateral for loans made via OpenTrade's Treasury Management Product.

All loans made via the OpenTrade Treasury Management & Yield Product are collateralised on a 1:1 basis with eligible loan collateral. A Security Trustee holds a security interest on behalf of Lenders in all collateral and the accounts in which collateral is held pursuant to a Security Trust Deed.

## What is the Security Trust Deed?

The Security Trust Deed is a legal agreement that arranges for a [Security Trustee](https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/1-107-7234?transitionType=Default\&contextData=\(sc.Default\)\&firstPage=true#:~:text=A%20security%20trustee%20is%20the,would%20be%20costly%20and%20impractical.) to hold a master security interest  in the collateral and accounts in which the collateral is held on behalf of the Lenders.&#x20;

The Security Trust Deed and Security Trustee's objective is to protect Lenders by ensuring all loan proceeds and collateral is held in accounts over which the Security Trustee has a full security interest in so that in the event of a default, the collateral can be recovered to repay lenders.&#x20;

As part of the MLA, the Borrower warrants that it has acquired or will acquire the collateral on the Loan Commencement Date and has granted a valid and fully perfected security interest in the collateral and the accounts in which the collateral is held pursuant to the Security Trust Deed.&#x20;

## **Why use a Security Trust Deed and Trustee?**

The use of a Security Trust Deed and Security Trustee is very common in the financial markets, especially in loan syndications and securitisation. It is done for the sake of efficiency, as it avoids the need to grant security separately to all creditors, which is costly and impractical for all parties.&#x20;

## What happens in the event of default?

In event of a Default under the MLA, each Lender can enforce their individual right to the collateral securing their loans by instructing the Security Trustee to either liquidate the collateral or hold the collateral to maturity. The Security Trustee will take control over the Secured Accounts and follow instructions of the creditors, including liquidating loan collateral to repay lenders.  &#x20;

## Key Terms of the Security Trust Deed

**Assignment of Security Interest to the Security Trustee**

The Borrower assigns a continuing security interest to the Security Trustee all of its rights, title, interest and benefit, existing now and in the future, to each secured account (the digital asset wallets, cash, and securities accounts in which collateral is held) and the secured assets they hold (assets used as collateral for loans).&#x20;

**Restriction on movement of secured assets**&#x20;

Secured assets may only be moved from a secured account in order to discharge the obligations of the Borrower to the Secured Creditors (the Lenders) in accordance with the terms of the MLA. This includes:

* Minting USDC with USD
* Redeeming USDC for USD
* Transferring USD to purchase collateral (e.g. US Treasury Bills)
* Selling collateral to meet withdrawal requests.

This ensures that the Borrower can only move funds and assets as required to repay loans for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations under the MLA.&#x20;

**Other Key Terms include:**

* Notice of assignment to banks/custodians where collateral is held
* Application of proceeds (aka the waterfall)
* Receipt and execution of instructions from Lenders
* Restrictions on changes the Borrower can make to its agreements to protect Lenders

## **Who is the Security Trustee?**

OpenTrade SPC has appointed Mulvaney Trustees (UK) Ltd (dba Vantru) as Security Trustee.

# Prime+ Vault

Let clients who seek to earn attractive yield on their balances while maintaining the flexibility to access their funds at any time.

## Summary&#x20;

The investment strategy aims to deliver the fixed rate while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet deposits and withdrawals at all times, and to generate excess return through active asset–liability management (ALM).&#x20;

The strategy will be deliberately conservative, with the majority of assets allocated to highly liquid instruments such as money market funds. As balance behavior becomes better understood and stable client deposits are established, OpenTrade may progressively allocate a portion of the portfolio to slightly longer-duration or higher-yielding credit instruments, within the approved set of eligible collateral.&#x20;

This phased approach allows the strategy to prioritize liquidity and capital stability initially, while progressively building a more optimized portfolio that supports the vault’s fixed-rate structure.

## Yield Strategy Details

The strategy is a delta-neutral SOL carry trade designed to generate stable USD-based yield by staking SOL while fully hedging out price risk.

### Core Structure

* Buy SOL spot on an exchange.
* Stake SOL to earn rewards
* Use the same staked SOL as 1:1 collateral for an equal-size short SOL perpetual futures position on the same exchange.

This ensures that the collateral automatically offsets mark-to-market risk on the short position.

### Collateral & Staking Allocation

* Approx 100% of the SOL purchased is staked, any remaining is held in USDC in secure custody.
* The staked SOL is recognized by the exchange as eligible collateral for the short perp positions.
* 100% of staked SOL is used as collateral which maximizes yield.

### Yield Drivers

* Primary return driver is SOL staking rewards. SOL staking rewards are hedged as they are earned.
* Additional returns provided by funding rate on short SOL perp futures.
* Perp funding rates may slightly increase or decrease yield, but are expected to remain low single digits annualized.

### Risk Management

* The short perp fully hedges SOL price risk, making the position market neutral.
* Because collateral is in staked SOL, the exchange has “right-way risk”: if SOL rises and the short position loses, the collateral (staked SOL) gains USD value proportionally.
* This structure minimizes liquidation risk and maximizes staking efficiency.
* Execution is optimized by market-making/legging into the long + short simultaneously to avoid slippage and excess delta exposure.
* Only Tier 1 financial counterparties are utilised (Circle, Crypto.com, OKX).
* Investments are made through a bankruptcy remote SPV which is operated by FCA regulated asset manager and overseen by independent directors and trustee.
* Trading is conducted programatically by quant hedge fund with long track record operating the strategy successfully.

# Interest Accrual

Learn more about interest accrual, exchange rates, and fees for OpenTrade Stablecoin Staking Yield, powered by Figment

## Summary

In the Stablecoin Staking Yield Vault, client returns are determined by the performance of the underlying delta-neutral SOL Strategy, and begin accruing following each deposit.

Each day, the total income generated by the strategy is translated into an Interest Rate (expressed as an annual percentage rate (APR)). The Interest Rate for each day is also translated into the [exchange rate ](#exchange-rate)between USDC and vault tokens (xSOLY) which you receive following a deposit (if you deposit $100 USDC, you receive 100 xSOLY) and allow you to track the value of your position over time.

The vault also provides an indicative interest rate, which is the trailing 30-day annualised return on the strategy. The indicative interest rate is used to provide Lender's with an idea of the types of returns the vault could experience but are not a guarantee of future results.

### Calculating net client returns based on the strategy's performance

The net returns from the strategy are calculated using the following formula:

`Net Strategy Value = Long Value + Short Value - Daily Fees`

Where:

`Long Value = (Quantity of staked SOL (Q) + quantity of SOL rewards paid (R)) x spot price in USD on Day (P)`

`Short value = (Q) ×(entry price (P0)​− ( P) ) + (R ) x (entry price (P0)​− ( P) ) if hedged`

`Daily Fees = [ 0.9% x Total Principal Earning Interest + 0.2% x Long Value] / 365`

***Example:***

* *Total Principal Earning Interest (PEI): 1,000,000 USDC*
* *Entry Price in USD (P0): 180*
* *Spot Price in USD (P): 190*
* *Quantity of Staked SOL (Q): 5555.56*
* *Quantity of Rewards Paid (R): 1.5*

**Long Value** = (5555.56 (Q) + 1.5 (R)) \* 190 (P) = USD 1055841.40

**Short Value** = (5555.56 (Q) x (180 (P0) - 190 (P))) + (1.5 (R) \* (180 (P0) - 190(P))) = USD -55570.6

**Daily Fees** = 0.9% x 1,000,000 (PEI) + 0.2% x 1055841.40 (Long Value) / 365 = 30.44

**Net Strategy Value** *=* USD 1055841.40 (Long Value) + USD -55570.6 (Short Value) - USD 30.44 (Daily Fees) = 1000240.36

Valuations are made using publicly available data sourced from the exchange on which the collateral is held.

### Translating the strategy's performance into an interest rate

The interest rate is an expression of net returns as an APR.

The following calculation is used to determine the Interest Rate:

*Daily Interest Rate\* =*<br>

*(Net Strategy Value T1 -* Net Strategy Value T*0*) + Net Income\*

*—------------------------------------------------------------------— x100 - Daily Fee*

*Strategy value T0*

*\*Income refers to yield payments actually paid onto the strategy management account*

***Example:***

* *Net Strategy Value T0 = USD 1,000,000*
* *Net Strategy Value T1 = USD 1,000,500*
* *Net Income = 250*
* *Daily Fee = 0.003%*

**Daily Interest Rate =** ((1,000,500 - 1,000,000 + 250)/1,000,000) x 100 - 0.003 = 0.072%

## Exchange Rate

The exchange rate between xSOLY and USDC can be used to determine the value of a given position and calculate returns time. For more on exchange rates, read [here](/stablecoin-yield-vaults/product-overview/exchange-rates).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Vault tokens (xSOLY) are purely 'receipt' tokens and are not transferrable
{% endhint %}

#### Calculation and Setting the Exchange Rate

The Investment Advisor, Five Sigma, updates the exchange rate at 9:30am GMT each day (T0).

The calculation for the exchange rate is as follows:

`Net Strategy Value / Total Vault Tokens Outstanding`

#### The exchange rate can be used to determine several important data points:

**Current value of your position in USDC (including net returns)**

```javascript
Vault Token Balance * Exchange Rate
```

**Net returns over time expressed as an absolute %**

```
ΔE =Et−Et0
```

Where:

* E<sub>t</sub> = exchange rate at the later time t
* E<sub>t0</sub>​​ = exchange rate at the earlier time t<sub>0</sub>
* ΔE = absolute change in the exchange rate

If you want the **percentage change (relative change)** instead of the absolute difference:

```json
%ΔE= [(Et−Et0) / Et0] * 100
```

*Example*

On Day 1, the exchange rate between xSOLY and USDC will be 1.00000. The collateral returns 15.00% APR in 12 months. The exchange rate after 12 months will be 1.150000, meaning 1 xSOLY can be redeemed for 1.15 USDC. When the lender redeems 1 xSOLY, they receive 1.15 USDC representing a return of their principal (1.00 USDC) and their accrued interest (0.15 USDC).

4. Click "Invest"
5. Input an amount you'd like to lend and click "Approve Spending Cap"
6. Approve the spending cap in your wallet
7. Confirm the amount and click "Invest"
8. USDC will be transferred from your wallet & you will receive xSOLY vault tokens at the current Exchange Rate.

## Exchange Rate Calculations - Investments

When stablecoins are lent into the vault, xSOLY will be issued to the Lender at the most recent exchange rate based on the following calculation:

```javascript
Vault Tokens Issued = Loan Amount / Exchange Rate
```


# Withdrawals

## Making a Withdrawal Request

Making a withdrawal request from the Stablecoin Staking Yield Vault is a simple process.

1. Connect your whitelisted wallet to the OpenTrade app
2. Select the Stablecoin Staking Yield Vault
3. Click "Withdraw"
4. Input the amount you'd like to withdraw
5. Click "Submit Withdrawal Request"
6. Approve in your wallet
7. After the Withdrawal Processing Time, USDC will automatically be sent back to your wallet and the corresponding amount of xSOLY tokens will be burned.

## Withdrawal Processing Time

The Withdrawal Processing Time is the number of business days before a withdrawal will be repaid into your wallet.

{% hint style="info" %}
The current Withdrawal Processing Time is equivalent to the time required to unstake Solana, withdrawals are typically repaid within 3-5 business days. Express liquidity facilities are available on request for customers that meet certain eligibility criteria. For more information on the Solana Stake account lifecycle, see [here](https://docs.figment.io/docs/sol-staking-101).
{% endhint %}

## Withdrawal Cut-Off Time

The Withdrawal Cut-Off Time is the time in UTC before which withdrawal requests must be made to be considered same day. For withdrawals requests made before the cut-off time, they will be considered same day requests. For withdrawal requests made after the cut-off of time, they will be considered to have been made the next business day.

For withdrawal requests made on Non-Business Days (e.g. weekends and bank holidays), they will be considered to have been made on the next business day.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Current Withdrawal Cut-Off Time is 6pm GMT.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Withdrawal requests can be made anytime.** The Withdrawal Cut-Off time is used to calculate when the withdrawal processing time starts and thus when it is due to be repaid.
{% endhint %}

## Exchange Rate Calculations - Withdrawals

The lender issues a withdrawal request by indicating an amount of vault tokens to be redeemed. This will provide an indicative withdrawal amount.

```javascript
Vault Tokens to be Redeemed * Exchange Rate  = Withdrawal Request Amount
```

The amount of vault tokens specifies the portion of the collateral to be liquidated.

```javascript
Vault Tokens to be Redeemed / Total Outstanding Vault Tokens  = % Collateral to be Liquidated
```

The Investment Advisor will liquidate the portion of the collateral corresponding to the withdrawal request and confirm the net sale proceeds. The final withdrawal repayment will equal the net sale proceeds of the sale of your collateral.

```javascript
Withdrawal Amount = Net Sale Proceeds of Liquidated Collateral
```

### Example

Example: Client A wants to withdraw 50 xSOLY (out of a total of 200) on T<sub>0</sub>. The value of the collateral on T<sub>0</sub> is 1000 USD.

The exchange rate on the platform is 1.5. The indicative withdrawal amount is: 50 x 1.5 = 75 USDC.

Upon receipt of the withdrawal request, the Advisor will request the unstaking \[50/200] x 1000 = 25 % of the staked SOL and convert it back to USDC. Once unstaked, 25% of the SOL is liquidated on exchange. Net sale proceeds for the SOL are 74.5 USDC.

At repayment, 50 xSOLY will be burned and the lender will receive 74.5 USDC.

<summary>What happens when I invest in the vault? </summary>

When an investor deposits USDC, the stablecoins are transferred into the wallet of a bankruptcy-remote SPV (OpenTrade SPC). This wallet is hosted by Circle. The investor receives xSOLY vault tokens, which represent their share in the vault and accrue value as staking rewards accumulate.

USDC is then converted to SOL on the designated exchange. Simultaneously, an equal and opposite short position is opened in SOL perpetual futures to hedge price exposure. The SOL is held with a qualified custodian and aims to stake exclusively with Figment, a validator with strong uptime and efficient reward distribution. This ensures the vault consistently earns yields near the upper end of the Solana network average.

<details>

<summary>What if funding rates differ across exchanges?</summary>

The strategy will seek to optimise for funding rates across exchanges, currently the exchanges used are OKX and Crypto.com. &#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the role of the Investment Advisor, AWR Capital?</summary>

AWR Capital is a London-based algorithmic trading hedge fund and financial services company founded by leading financial executives and portfolio managers.&#x20;

As the Investment Advisor, AWR's mandate is to oversee the execution of the algorithmic delta-neutral SOL strategy. It does not have discretion to deviate outside the parameters of this strategy and it is contractually bound to always act in ways that ensure OpenTrade SPC can meet its obligations to investors at all times. Practically speaking this means it is either 1) moving into a delta-neutral staked SOL position following an investment or 2) moving out of the delta neutral position into USDC so the SPV can repay investor withdrawals and fulfil its obligations under the MLA.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What are xSOLY tokens and how do they work?</summary>

When a user invests USDC into the vault, they receive xSOLY ERC-20 vault tokens. Vault tokens represent the users position in the vault.

As interest accrues, the exchange rate between xSOLY and USDC increases, reflecting yield earned.

When the investor redeems, the xSOLY tokens are burned, and an equivalent amount of USDC is returned at the latest exchange rate.

For more information on vault tokens, see [here](https://docs.opentrade.io/stablecoin-yield/product-overview/vault-tokens).&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>When do I start earning yield?</summary>

You start earning yield immediately when you invest.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How are withdrawals processed?</summary>

The investor submits a [withdrawal request](https://opentrade.gitbook.io/stablecoin-staking-yield/opentrade-stablecoin-staking-yield-powered-by-figment/how-it-works/withdrawals) via the FigApp, OpenTrade Web App, or by calling the contract directly. OpenTrade will then unstake the corresponding portion of SOL (incl. any rewards received) based on the amount requested for withdrawal. The short perp position is closed simultaneously to maintain delta-neutrality. The SOL is converted back into USDC, which is repaid to the investor's wallet.&#x20;

Withdrawal processing times are determined by the time required to unstake SOL, withdrawals are typically repaid within 3-5 business days. For more information on [Withdrawals](https://opentrade.gitbook.io/stablecoin-staking-yield/opentrade-stablecoin-staking-yield-powered-by-figment/how-it-works/withdrawals).

Instant liquidity facilities are available on a case by case basis. Please enquire with your account manager.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>How can I verify the collateral exists?</summary>

Five Sigma, an FCA regulated asset manager produces a weekly “vault report” that attests to the vault's collateral (USDC, Staked SOL and perp futures of the vault) and liabilities (total outstanding loan principal).

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happen if OpenTrade, AWR, or Five Sigma ceases operations?</summary>

The vault is held inside a bankruptcy-remote Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) meaning the assets in the vault are legally segregated from Open Trade Technology Ltd, AWR, and Five Sigma's own balance sheet.

If these parties were to shut down or cease to operate, your funds would not form part of its assets and cannot be claimed by creditors.

A licensed Security Trustee (Vantru) holds a master security interest over all wallets and accounts on behalf of investors. In the event of default or enforcement, the Trustee can take control of the assets directly and return them to investors.

All assets are held with regulated counterparties who have been notified of the assignment to the Trustee.

Wallets are whitelisted and controlled by multi-signature access, ensuring no single party can move funds unilaterally.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What are the fees?</summary>

The vault charges a total fee of 1.10% per annum on the total amount invested in the vault.

This fee covers:

* Platform fees – for operating the vault infrastructure and smart contracts.
* Liquidity and execution costs – for trading, hedging, and maintaining exchange positions.
* Advisory and management fees – for oversight, strategy management, and reporting.

All fees are netted from performance automatically, so investors see the yield after all fees are deducted.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the exchange rate? How are fees deducted from it?</summary>

The exchange rate between xSOLY and USDC is a number that can be used to determine the value of a given position and calculate returns time. As the collateral increases (or decreases) in value, the exchange rate increases (or decreases). For more on exchange rates, read [here](https://docs.opentrade.io/stablecoin-yield/product-overview/exchange-rates).

Fees are deducted from the exchange rate so that investors see the net performance.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does staking work and generate yield?</summary>

Staking on Solana means helping to secure the network and earning SOL rewards in return.&#x20;

When OpenTrade stakes SOL, it is delegating its tokens to a validator (like Figment) who helps confirm and add new blocks to the Solana blockchain.

OpenTrade SPC keeps ownership of your SOL and it never leaves its account.

The validator uses our delegated stake to increase its voting weight in the network’s Proof-of-Stake consensus system.

Solana’s blockchain is divided into time periods called epochs. Each epoch is when the network calculates staking rewards, activates new stake, and deactivates unstaked tokens. When OpenTrade stakes SOL, it becomes active in the next epoch and when OpenTrade unstakes, it’s released after the current epoch ends.

Every epoch, the Solana protocol issues new SOL tokens (inflation) as rewards for validators who confirm blocks correctly. Validators receive these rewards and share them proportionally with the delegators (OpenTrade) who staked SOL with them.

The more SOL a validator has delegated to it and the better its performance, the higher the rewards it earns. These rewards are immediately re-staked by OpenTrade.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What are the risks associated with staking, and how are they mitigated</summary>

While staking SOL is considered a low-risk yield-generating activity, it still carries a few operational and protocol-level risks.

If the validator goes offline, misses blocks, or performs poorly, the vault may earn lower rewards during that epoch.

**Mitigation:**

* The vault aims to stake exclusively with Figment, a top-performing validator with strong uptime and efficient reward distribution.
* Figment uses redundant infrastructure and real-time monitoring to maintain consistent performance.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>How volatile are staking rewards?</summary>

While staking SOL is considered a low-risk, Staking rewards on Solana, particularly through Figment’s validator, have been remarkably stable over time. Based on historical data from September 2023 to 2025, Figment’s staking reward rate (SRR) averaged around 8.2% annualised.

In general, staking yields have fluctuated within a narrow 7–9% band for most epochs, making them one of the most predictable sources of on-chain income compared with trading or funding-rate-based returns.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How fast can you unstake SOL?</summary>

When SOL is unstaked, it must go through a cooldown period before becoming liquid. Once its unstaked, OpenTrade will unwind the corresponding perp future position and convert the SOL to USDC to repay the investor. Withdrawals are are typically repaid within 3-5 business days.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What are SOL PERPs and how do they work?</summary>

SOL PERPs (short for Solana Perpetual Futures Contracts) are derivative instruments that track the price of SOL, allowing traders to take long or short exposure to Solana without owning the underlying tokens.&#x20;

A perpetual contract is similar to a traditional futures contract — except that it never expires.\
Instead of settling on a fixed date, PERPs are designed to track the spot price continuously through a funding rate mechanism between longs and shorts.

Because PERPs have no expiry, they rely on a periodic cash flow (the funding rate) to keep prices aligned with the spot market:

* When the PERP price trades above spot, longs pay shorts (positive funding).
* When the PERP trades below spot, shorts pay longs (negative funding).

The funding rate is reset every hour on **Crypto.com** and every 8 hours on **OKX**.&#x20;

Every exchange requires margin before OpenTrade can trade a perpetual futures (PERP) contract. While certain exchanges offer leverage and cross margining (where the collateral is a pool of assets), OpenTrade will margin the SOL PERP with 100% SOL (staked SOL).

</details>

<details>

<summary>How deep is the PERP market?</summary>

The SOL PERP market is very deep and liquid, with billions of dollars in active positions and daily volume.

As of October 2025, there was in aggregate across the top 20 exchanges:

&#x20;\~$3.9 billion in perpetual open interest

\~$34 billion per day in volume&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>Do you use any leverage?</summary>

**No. The product is not leveraged, as we maintain 100% asset backing to fully collateralize any short positions.** While the hedge (perp) may be executed with leverage on a single exchange, the overall strategy remains fully collateralized because the corresponding assets are held across multiple venues.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do you make sure that you are always hedged?</summary>

OpenTrade, in partnership with AWR, uses an algorithmic legging process to enter the delta-neutral position efficiently and safely. When investor USDC is converted into SOL, the system simultaneously executes a long SOL spot trade and an equal-notional short SOL-PERP on the exchange.&#x20;

Both legs are placed near-simultaneously through AWR’s execution engine, which continuously monitors order-book depth, spreads, and volatility to determine the optimal timing and size for each order.&#x20;

The algorithm dynamically adjusts orders in milliseconds to keep the vault’s net SOL exposure (delta) as close to zero as possible, ensuring minimal slippage or temporary price risk during entry.&#x20;

This automated legging process allows OpenTrade to deploy capital efficiently, maintain precise hedging accuracy, and ensure that each investor’s capital is fully protected from SOL price movements from the moment it is invested.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How is the funding rate calculated?</summary>

On **Crypto.com**, the funding for perpetual contracts is settled hourly.&#x20;

The funding rate is based on a “premium rate”, which is derived from the difference between the mark price of the perpetual contract and the index price (i.e. the spot/reference price) over a 4-hour interval.&#x20;

The “Average Premium Rate” is calculated as the mean of the premium rate per minute over that 4-hour window.&#x20;

Then the hourly funding rate = Average Premium Rate ÷ 4 (i.e. distributing that 4-hour premium across each hour).&#x20;

During each hour end (session settlement), funding is transferred between longs and shorts:\
 • If the funding rate is positive, longs pay shorts.\
 • If the funding rate is negative, shorts pay longs.

On **OKX**, the funding for perpetual contracts is settled every 8 hours, 3 times a day.&#x20;

OKX uses a "premium index" that measures the gap between the perpetual futures price and the real spot price every minute. The weighted moving average of the premium index over the entire settlement interval is then calculated, where more recent minutes are given higher weight, this smooths our short-term spikes.&#x20;

By default, funding fees are charged or paid every 8 hours (at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00 UTC), though some contracts settle every 1, 2, or 4 hours. You are only obligated to pay or receive the fee if you hold an open position at the exact moment of settlement.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How volatile is the funding rate? Can it generate an overall negative return?</summary>

In normal conditions, funding rates are typically around ±0.01% per 8 hours, but they can fluctuate more widely depending on market sentiment, commonly ranging from -0.02% to +0.03% per 8 hours, with occasional spikes above 0.05% during periods of crowded long positioning. In certain extreme market conditions the funding rate can turn negative, however, such periods are usually temporary and tend to occur during sharp market sell-offs or when short positioning becomes crowded.

Negative funding episodes typically last from a few funding intervals (hours) to several days, in sustained bearish conditions. In most cases, the rate normalizes once market positioning rebalances, as arbitrageurs and basis traders enter the market to capture the imbalance between spot and perp pricing.

Although hourly funding rates are volatile relative to their mean, averaging over time reveals a stable long-run level and remain comfortably within the margin covered by the vault’s 6–8% staking yield, making the strategy structurally resilient to funding fluctuations.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Do you track the funding rate direction?</summary>

AWR maintains a forecast for funding rates on all coins at all times.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do you pay for the funding rate? How frequently and in which currency?</summary>

Funding is settled hourly on **Crypto.com**, with the vault paying or receiving small amounts automatically depending on whether the funding rate is negative or positive.&#x20;

Funding is settled per 8 hour period on **OKX**, with the vault paying or receiving small amounts automatically depending on whether the funding rate is negative or positive.

OpenTrade will maintain a stablecoin position to cater to funding rate payments and will re-invest the excess stablecoin back into the strategy.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can the PERP be liquidated because of a lack of collateral?</summary>

Liquidation risk is virtually zero with the way the Stablecoin Staking Yield product is designed, because the short SOL-PERP is fully collateralised with the same asset it tracks (SOL), and the structure creates what’s known as “right-way risk”: the collateral and OpenTrade’s PERP position move in the same beneficial direction so the margin improves when the market moves against our trade.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can the PERP be liquidated because of auto deleveraging policies applied by an exchange?</summary>

**Crypto.com** does not use auto deleveraging, so the position is always hedged.

Instead, **Crypto.com** maintains an Insurance Fund that accumulates liquidation fees paid by losing traders. Its purpose is to cover cases where a trader’s losses exceed their wallet balance following forced liquidation. If the Insurance Fund is depleted, and there remain uncovered losses from liquidations, then the Socialised Loss Mechanism is triggered. Under this mechanism, all traders with positive profits in that session must share the uncovered losses pro rata, based on the size of their profits.

If Socialised Loss is triggered, it effectively will reduce the realized profit by the pro-rata rate applied to OpenTrade based on the profits made.

On **OKX** theoretically auto-deleverage can occur and close the existing Perpetual futures positions in extraordinary circumstances at a low probability.

Normally, highly leveraged positions are matched and closed in a manner consistent with effective reduction of risk to the OKX platform. Accounts with profitable positions on high leverage and accounts with losses on high leverage are the first target for auto-deleverage.

When ADL is triggered, positions in the ADL queue are ranked based on the leverage PnL%. For example, positions with the highest positive leverage PnL% will be offsetted first, and vice versa. Once a match between a loss-making position and an opposing deleveraged position is made, both positions are offset against each other and closed. This realizes the loss on the loss-making position and any profit on the deleveraged position.

To mitigate this risk, we actively manage the position by closing or reducing exposures and realizing PnL when needed, ensuring that positions do not accumulate excessively large unrealized negative PnL that could increase the probability of liquidation or ADL events.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if SOL price increase by 10X or 20X?</summary>

**Impact on hedging:**

Even though the PERP will incur a huge mark-to-market loss, the SOL collateral’s value will increase by exactly the same amount.

Collateral Value ≥ PERP Mark-to-Market Loss.

**Impact on Funding Rate:**

If SOL’s price multiplies by 10× or 20×, the funding rate itself doesn’t mechanically increase and the rate will depend on market sentiment, not price level.&#x20;

However such bull run typically drives long-side demand, causing funding to turn positive (longs pay shorts), so the vault would earn additional income.<br>

**Impact on staking rewards:**

If SOL’s price increases, the staking rewards (in SOL terms) remains unchanged as the Solana protocol pays rewards in SOL, not in dollars. However, the USD value of those rewards will increase proportionally with the SOL price. As the product is fully hedged, rewards credited in SOL will be hedged upon receipt.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if SOL price drops by 50%?</summary>

**Impact on hedging:**

The PERP profit offsets the reduced SOL collateral value. The PERP gain is immediately marked to market, in real time.

The vault’s total account equity (SOL value + PERP PnL) remains constant.

**Impact on Funding Rate:**

The funding rate on SOL perpetual futures (SOL-PERPs) is likely to change meaningfully, because many traders will try to hedge or speculate on further downside, pushing the PERP price below spot temporarily as shorts crowd in. This is likely to push the funding rate into negative territory and OpenTrade will have to pay longs.

**Impact on staking rewards:**

If SOL’s price drops, the staking rewards (in SOL terms) remains unchanged as the Solana protocol pays rewards in SOL, not in dollars. However, the USD value of those rewards will fall proportionally with the SOL price. As the product is fully hedged, rewards credited in SOL will be hedged upon receipt.

**What if SOL drops to 0?**

In a theoretical scenario where the price of SOL is actually 0, we will have a market-to-market gain on the short perp equivalent to the nominal amount of our long position. In reality, the position will be unwound far in advance of this ever happening.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do you respond to ADL (auto de-leveraging)? </summary>

**Crypto.com does not implement ADL so it is not a risk with the current vault set up.**&#x20;

On **OKX,** an Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) event happens when the exchange cannot close a liquidated trader’s position through the order book or insurance fund, and instead automatically reduces positions on the opposite side of the market (in our case partially or fully unwinding our short SOL-PERP position).&#x20;

ADL on major assets like SOL is extremely rare and indicates a severe market dislocation (e.g., sudden price spikes and system-wide liquidations).

OpenTrade and AWR take a 6 steps approach to mitigating ADLs and the impact of ADLs:

1. Monitor ADL queues and alerts continuously track exchange ADL indicators, margin levels, and liquidation warnings through API or dashboard monitoring.
2. In case of a potential ADL, unstake SOL and prepare SOL for transfer to OKX as a collateral.
3. Pause new investments conversion: temporarily halt new deposits conversion into spot SOLANA; keeping incoming funds in USDC until the market normalises.
4. Diversify exposure across venues: spread hedge positions across multiple exchanges to reduce single-exchange ADL risk.
5. Rebalance to delta neutrality: adjust exposure to restore the vault’s delta-neutral position by selling the long or short position.
6. If ADL is triggered: rebuild the short hedge as soon as trading resumes, restoring the structure and validating margin health across venues. This may take a few hours and days depending on the size of the position.

To mitigate this risk, we actively manage the position by closing or reducing exposures and realizing P\&L when needed, ensuring that positions do not accumulate excessively large unrealized negative P\&L that could increase the probability of liquidation or ADL events.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do you respond to persistently negative funding rates?</summary>

Historically, SOL’s average funding has remained either positive or negative in the low single digits, far below the staking yield, so the net carry remains strongly positive.&#x20;

Over very short periods, exceptional large temporary dislocations between spot and PERP prices (inside a few hours) could create a small temporary mark-to-market loss, if an investor enters when SOL funding or basis conditions are unfavourable and exits immediately afterward. These short-term effects are not reflective of true performance, since the vault is designed for a holding period of several days or longer.

If funding rates stay negative for a period of time (shorts pay longs) it creates a drag on the yield, reducing overall profitability. Although historically this is an exceptionally rare occurrence, if they were to remain steeply negative for a sustained period of time, >72 hours, the strategy will:

1. Quantify the net carry loss from funding vs staking yield
2. Pause new investments conversion : temporarily halt new deposits conversion into spot SOLANA; keeping incoming funds in USDC until the market normalises.
3. Convene a risk meeting with our investment advisors to decide on the way forward and the correct strategy to adopt.

The trading system operating by AWR tracks funding rates 24/7/365 and has automated monitoring and alerting so, in the above scenario, it would be apparent and monitored from the first instant it started.&#x20;

<summary>How do you respond to / mitigate the risk of socialised losses?</summary>

Should the exchange impose a profit haircut (Socialised Loss) across profitable accounts to cover residual bankrupt losses, OpenTrade would:

1. Diversify exposure across venues: spread hedge positions across multiple exchanges to reduce single-exchange Socialised Loss risk.
2. Pause new investments conversion: temporarily halt new deposits conversion into spot SOLANA; keeping incoming funds in USDC until the market normalises.
3. Assess the impact on overall return and re-evaluate exchange selection if the risk persists.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is the collateral lent or re-hypothecated?</summary>

No. The collateral is held exclusively in the name of the bankruptcy remote SPV in segregated accounts (with Circle and Crypto.com) at all times and is never on-lent or re-hypothecated.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is the OpenTrade Vault smart-contract audited?</summary>

Yes, all smart-contracts involved are audited by 3rd party cyber security experts. These audits are made publicly available [here](https://docs.opentrade.io/code-audits).&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary>Are the accounts where collateral is held bankruptcy remote?</summary>

Yes, all accounts where collateral is held are bankruptcy remote. They are segregated accounts held in the name of the bankruptcy remote SPV, OpenTrade SPC. Each provider is given a notice of assignment which makes them aware of this arrangement from the very beginning of the engagement.

Each investor has a fully perfected security interest in the accounts and underlying collateral.  For more information on the legal structure, see [here](https://docs.opentrade.io/stablecoin-yield/product-overview/legal/bankruptcy-remote-structure).&#x20;

For operational efficiencies, collateral is held in omnibus accounts but each investor's collateral is legally separate from those of other investors.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is USDC and/or collateral held in segregated accounts?</summary>

Investment proceeds and collateral is held in bankruptcy remote, omnibus accounts. There is a single exchange account, single custody account, and dedicated Solana validators. Each investor's collateral is still legally separate from those of other investors.

</details>

<details>

<summary>To what extent can OpenTrade attribute USDC to a specific investor?</summary>

Granular records are kept both on-chain and off-chain to ensure USDC and collateral can be attributable to specific client and client wallets.&#x20;

# Privacy & Cookie Policies

Below is our Privacy & Cookie Policies that applies to your use of OpenTrade.

## Privacy Policy

**Welcome to Open Trade Technology Ltd's and OpenTrade SPC's (together "OpenTrade") privacy policy.** OpenTrade respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you use our “Services” (our website(s), app(s), protocols, tools, and systems) or interact with us in any other way. We are the controller and responsible for the processing of your personal data.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our privacy practices, please contact us by emailing <info@open-trade.io>. This privacy policy was last updated on July 25, 2023. You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues ([www.ico.org.uk](http://www.ico.org.uk)). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.&#x20;

### **Third-party links**

Our Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our Services, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every third party service you visit.

### **The data we collect about you**

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

* **Identity Data** includes first name, maiden name, last name, passport/ID details, title, date of birth and gender.
* **Contact Data** includes email address and telephone numbers.
* **Financial Data** includes source of wealth, wallet addresses and wallet balances.
* **Transaction Data** includes details about transactions made through our platform, such as amounts, wallet addresses, and fees paid by you or due to you&#x20;
* **Technical Data** includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.&#x20;
* **Usage Data** includes information about how you use our Services.&#x20;
* **Marketing and Communications Data** includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use, and share **Aggregated Data** such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

### **If you fail to provide personal data**

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide our Services to you).

### **How is your personal data collected?**

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

* Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity, Contact and Financial Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise.&#x20;
* Cookies. We use  cookies to improve your experience of using the Website and to improve our range of products and services. See [Cookie Policy ](#cookie-policy)below for more information.&#x20;
* Third parties or publicly available sources. We will receive personal data about you from various public sources (such as sanctions lists) and third parties including public databases, KYC and ID verification service providers, and credit reference agencies.

### **How we use your personal data**

* We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
* Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
* Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
* Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
* Where you have given your consent. Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

### **Purposes for which we will use your personal data**

* To register you as a new customer and provide you with our Services, which includes carrying out mandatory financial crime compliance checks.
* To manage our relationship with you.
* To administer and protect our business and this website (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting and hosting of data).
* To deliver relevant website content and advertisements to you and measure or understand the effectiveness of the advertising we serve to you.
* To use data analytics to improve our Services, marketing, customer relationships and experiences.
* To make suggestions and recommendations to you about Services that may be of interest to you.

### **Disclosures of your personal data**

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below.

* Service providers who provide IT services and KYC services.
* Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers.
* HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities.

### **International transfers**

Some of our external third parties are based outside the UK so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection. We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data or alternatively, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK. Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.&#x20;

### **Data security**

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.&#x20;

### **Data retention**

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

### **Your legal rights**

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

* **Request access to your personal data** (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
* **Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.** This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
* **Request erasure of your personal data.** This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.&#x20;
* **Object to processing of your personal data** where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground, as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
* **Request restriction of processing of your personal data.** This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:&#x20;
  * If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
  * Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
  * Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.&#x20;
  * You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.&#x20;
* **Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.** We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.&#x20;
* **Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.** However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to deliver our Services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

### **What we may need from you**

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

### **Time limit to respond**

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.&#x20;
