Guarantees
What Is Guaranteed
Section titled “What Is Guaranteed”These properties are enforced by on-chain mechanics, not by policy or team promises.
Perpetual exit right
Section titled “Perpetual exit right”Every investor position carries a perpetual PUT right. There is no expiry, no approval flow, and no dependency on the project team being active. The exit path is user-callable on-chain at any time.
Permissionless redemption
Section titled “Permissionless redemption”exits via redeem (divest) are always available. Even if the raise is paused, even if the project token price is zero, even if the project team disappears. Redemption is permissionless.
Proportional settlement
Section titled “Proportional settlement”Each investor receives their proportional share of the reserve pool. In normal operation, this equals the original deposit amount. The system uses deterministic conversion rules, the last person to redeem gets the same rate as the first.
Raise isolation
Section titled “Raise isolation”Each raise is isolated with its own reserve collateral accounting, position state, yield strategy routing, and admin controls. A failure in one raise does not contaminate unrelated raises.
No fee on deposits or redeems
Section titled “No fee on deposits or redeems”No direct fee is charged on deposits or exits via redeem. The platform earns only from the platform fee on yield generated by active reserves and a success fee on exits via withdraw.
What Is Not Guaranteed
Section titled “What Is Not Guaranteed”These are boundaries of the protection model.
Fixed dollar amount per position
Section titled “Fixed dollar amount per position”The guarantee is proportional settlement, not a fixed dollar amount. In a reserve shortfall (e.g., strategy exploit), each investor receives their proportional share of what remains.
Minimum yield
Section titled “Minimum yield”There is no guaranteed minimum yield. If yield drops to zero, principal redemption still works, but any configured buyback and ecosystem budget inflow stop.
Protection against upstream exploits
Section titled “Protection against upstream exploits”Principal protection covers project-token downside, not upstream protocol exploits (e.g., an Aave vulnerability) that reduce reserve collateral. See Risk Model for detailed failure scenarios and recovery expectations.
Immediate liquidity in all conditions
Section titled “Immediate liquidity in all conditions”If strategy liquidity is temporarily constrained (e.g., high Aave utilization), withdrawals may need retries. Circuit breakers may also throttle outflow velocity. This is a temporary delay, not a loss — the capital exists, it is lent out.
Collateral value stability (volatile assets)
Section titled “Collateral value stability (volatile assets)”Redemption is proportional in deposit-asset terms. For stablecoin raises (USDC), this is identical to getting dollars back. For volatile-asset raises (WETH), the investor receives WETH, which may be worth more or less in USD than at deposit time.
What This Is Not
Section titled “What This Is Not”Not a token sale with a limited refund window
The PUT is perpetual and unconditional
Not a locked staking product
Positions are liquid and tradeable from day one
Not a guaranteed-return product
Yield is variable and market-dependent
Not insurance against smart-contract risk
Upstream strategy exploits can reduce reserves
Trust Assumptions
Section titled “Trust Assumptions”| Component | Trust Model |
|---|---|
| Exit mechanics | On-chain, permissionless, no trust required |
| Reserve accounting | On-chain, deterministic |
| Yield strategy (Aave V3) | Trust in upstream protocol security |
| Admin operations | Multisig-based, delayed rotation |
| Oracle pricing | Trust in oracle feed for deposit-time pricing only |
| Circuit breaker | Configured by admin, throttles but never permanently blocks exits |
