🟣dSOL Anchor Vault (Coming Soon)
The dSOL Anchor Vault is designed for SOL holders seeking to amplify their staking yields while maintaining their SOL exposure. This innovative product combines delta-neutral hedging, leveraged yield optimization, and dynamic risk management to deliver consistently high returns. By utilizing dSOL, a liquid staking token, the vault ensures that users benefit from staking rewards, funding rates, and efficient cost management—all without taking on additional price risks.
Key Features
1. Amplified Yield with Retained SOL Exposure
The dSOL Anchor Vault allows SOL depositors to maximize their yields without altering their exposure to SOL’s price movements.
Mechanism: Deposited SOL is converted into dSOL, leveraging its staking yields while simultaneously hedging against any additional borrowed SOL.
Result: Users retain their original SOL exposure while benefiting from leveraged staking yields and funding rates.
2. Dynamic Leverage Optimization
The vault employs a dynamic leverage mechanism to optimize yield while minimizing costs.
Leverage Application: Leverage is increased up to 3x when the combined 3-day average of staking yields and funding rates exceeds borrowing costs by 15%.
Risk Management: If yields drop below this threshold, the vault automatically deleverages to ensure profitability and minimize exposure to borrowing costs.
3. Dual-Layer Yield
The vault generates returns through two primary sources:
dSOL Yield: Earned from staking SOL via dSOL, leveraging its high LST rewards.
Funding Rates: Positive funding rates on short positions create an additional APR layer, historically averaging ~45%.
Together, these yield sources work synergistically to deliver consistent, high-performance returns for SOL depositors.
4. FUEL Airdrops from Drift
Here’s an exciting bonus: by using dSOL from Drift, the Anchor Vault participates in Drift’s FUEL points system, which tracks user activity and rewards loyal users. The leverage and staking activities in the vault help accumulate these points, potentially transforming into valuable airdrops.
Once distributed, these rewards will be shared with depositors, adding another layer of profitability to the strategy.
How It Works
Deposit: Users deposit SOL into the vault.
Conversion: The SOL is converted into dSOL via Jupiter Exchange.
Leveraged Collateralization: The dSOL is used as collateral to borrow additional SOL on Drift.
Hedging: Borrowed SOL is shorted to hedge against price volatility.
Yield Generation:
Staking Rewards: Earned from dSOL’s staking mechanism.
Funding Rates: Received from the short positions on SOL debt.
This dual-layered approach ensures that users benefit from optimized yields without exposing themselves to additional price risks.
Risk Management
Borrowing Rate Management
The dSOL Anchor Vault actively monitors borrowing rates for USDC and USDS to dynamically adjust leverage, ensuring a net positive yield. Historically, USDC borrowing rates average around 40%. When borrowing costs increase due to high utilization rates, the vault automatically reduces leverage to minimize interest expenses.
Dynamic Leverage Adjustment
The vault’s leverage strategy ensures that it remains profitable under varying market conditions. Leverage is applied only when yields outweigh costs, reducing exposure during unfavorable market scenarios.
Delta-Neutral Hedging
By hedging borrowed SOL entirely, the strategy ensures users maintain their initial SOL exposure while mitigating risks associated with market volatility.
Fees
The vault charges a 30% performance fee, applied only to profits generated by the strategy. There are no additional fees for deposits, withdrawals, or staking rewards, ensuring that users only pay when they earn.
Withdrawal Terms
Withdrawals from the dSOL Anchor Vault are subject to a 1-day redemption period. While funds can be requested anytime, they become available after 24 hours. Any profits accrued during the redemption period are not credited, providing clarity and fairness.
