Frequently Asked Questions
This comprehensive FAQ addresses common questions about Loopify Finance, our yield optimization strategies, and platform operations.
Platform Overview
What is Loopify Finance?
Loopify Finance is a sophisticated yield optimizer launching on Ethereum mainnet, specializing in USDe and sUSDe strategies. We provide users with Automated Yield Vaults: Conservative (5-10% APY) and Aggressive (20-35% APY) strategies
Our platform leverages advanced techniques like PT/YT looping, cross-protocol arbitrage, and leveraged yield farming to maximize returns while managing risk.
How does Loopify Finance work?
Loopify Finance aggregates liquidity from users and deploys it across multiple DeFi protocols to optimize yields:
Conservative Strategy:
- Diversified lending across Aave, Compound, Morpho
- sUSDe staking for base rewards
- Low-risk arbitrage opportunities
Aggressive Strategy:
- 5x leveraged PT/YT looping through Pendle Finance
- Concentrated sUSDe positions with leverage
- Governance token farming and protocol incentives
What makes Loopify Finance different?
Key Differentiators:
- Ethereum Mainnet: Launching on Ethereum with future Converge Network transition
- USDe Specialization: Deep expertise in Ethena ecosystem strategies
- Yield Looping: Advanced PT/YT strategies for amplified returns
- Advanced Looping: Sophisticated PT/YT strategies typically only available to institutions
- Risk Management: Automated health factor monitoring and liquidation protection
Looping Mechanics
How does yield looping work?
Yield looping amplifies exposure to underlying yield-bearing assets through leverage. Here's a simplified example:
3x Leverage Loop on $100 USDe:
- Flashloan: Borrow $300 USDe temporarily
- Collateral: Deposit $400 total ($100 + $300) into Aave
- Borrow: Take $300 USDe loan against collateral
- Split: Use Pendle to split $300 USDe → $100 PT-USDe + $200 YT-USDe
- Collateral: Deposit PT-USDe as additional collateral
- Repay: Return $300 USDe flashloan
- Result: Own $200 YT-USDe (2x USDe yield exposure) on $100 initial capital
Yield Calculation:
- YT-USDe earning 25% APY
- $200 exposure × 25% = $50 annual yield
- ROI: 50% APY on $100 initial investment
What are PT and YT tokens?
Principal Tokens (PT) and Yield Tokens (YT) are created by splitting yield-bearing assets:
PT-USDe:
- Represents the principal amount of USDe
- Trades at a discount to face value
- Redeemable for full USDe value at maturity
- Used as collateral in Loopify Finance strategies
YT-USDe:
- Represents all future yield from USDe
- Price appreciates with underlying yield rates
- Expires at maturity date
- Primary value driver in leveraged strategies
Example: $100 USDe → $95 PT-USDe + $5 YT-USDe (prices vary by market conditions)
Why is leverage profitable?
Leverage becomes profitable when the cost of borrowing is less than the yield and points earned on the leveraged position, with potential airdrops offsetting borrowing costs.
PT-USDe Looping Strategy Example
Real performance: $100k position, Aug 1 - Sept 24 (54 days)
Strategy Setup:
- Mint $100k PT-USDe at 14.5% fixed APY
- Borrow at 8% average cost to leverage position
- Total leverage exposure across protocols
Costs & Returns:
- Interest Costs: $1,184 paid over 54-day period
- PT Intrinsic Value: $2,145 gained from fixed rate
- Net PT Profit: $961 ($2,145 - $1,184 costs)
Airdrop Rewards:
- Sats Points: 324M sats earned (60x multiplier × $100k × 54 days)
- ENA Tokens: 4,050 ENA tokens received
- ENA Value: $3,038 (4,050 × $0.75 per token)
Total Performance:
- Combined Returns: $3,999 total ($961 PT + $3,038 ENA)
- 54-Day Return: 4.00% in under two months
- Annualized Rate: 27.03% APR
Return Breakdown:
- 76% from airdrops: ENA tokens and sats points ($3,038)
- 24% from PT carry: Fixed rate arbitrage ($961)
- Risk Factor: Health factor monitoring prevents liquidation
What happens if I'm liquidated?
Liquidation Triggers:
- Health factor falls below 1.01
- Automatic liquidation process begins
- Smart contracts sell collateral to repay debt
Liquidation Process:
- Detection: Automated systems detect health factor < 1.01
- Execution: Liquidation bot triggers smart contract
- Sale: Collateral sold at market prices
- Repayment: Debt + interest repaid from sale proceeds
- Remainder: Any excess collateral returned to borrower
- Penalty: Variable liquidation bonus paid to liquidator based on protocol
Protection Measures:
- Email/SMS alerts when health factor approaches danger levels
- 48-hour notice before liquidation in non-emergency situations
- Partial liquidations minimize collateral loss
Risks and Safety
What are the main risks?
Protocol Risks:
- Smart Contract: Code vulnerabilities despite audits
- Integration: Third-party protocol failures could impact strategies
- Regulatory: Changing regulations may affect operations
How is my money protected?
Security Measures:
- Multi-signature: Critical functions require multiple approvals
- Timelocks: 48-hour delay on major protocol changes
- Audits: Professional security reviews by PeckShield (Q1 2026)
- Risk Management: Automated position monitoring and liquidation protection
Risk Management:
- Diversification: Funds spread across multiple protocols
- Monitoring: Real-time health factor and risk tracking
- Emergency: Circuit breakers can pause operations if needed
- Transparency: All operations are on-chain and verifiable
Can I lose money?
Yes, all investments carry risk of loss:
Leverage looping:
- Higher risk due to leverage
- Potential loss of funds which is variable based on protocols liquidation penalties.
