Key concepts

A compact reference for the vocabulary used across these docs.

Indices

A product index is a diversified basket of yield pools managed as one unit. YLDX runs four: Stable, Coin, DEX and RWA. Each holds ≥ 40 pools and caps any single position at ≤ 2.5% of capital. See The four indices.

Composite score

Every candidate pool is ranked by a single composite score:

score = 0.30\,(yield) + 0.30\,(7d momentum) + 0.20\,(low-IL) + 0.20\,(TVL)

The highest-scored pools form the deployment set; the lowest-scored are the exit set. See Pool scoring.

3-corridor concentrated liquidity

On the RWA Index, liquidity is split across three adaptive bands:

• Core ±10% — 50% of capital (protection / stability)
• Working ±5% — 30% (primary yield)
• Tactical ±2.5% — 20% (high fee efficiency)

Bands are auto-rebalanced by volatility regime. See RWA Index.

Money-flow layers (L1→L4)

• L1 Entry — client on-ramp wallets
• L2 Bridge/CEX — centralized routing layer (Binance/Bybit under Moonrock Capital)
• L3 Strategy — the working pools/LP positions
• L4 Cold — sector multisig vaults (final custody)

Deposits move forward; withdrawals retrace the path. See Money flow.

YLDX & SYLDX

• YLDX — the governance/utility token (ERC-20, 1B max supply, minted at TGE).
• SYLDX — Staked YLDX, an auto-staked receipt issued to round participants, redeemable 1:1 for YLDX at listing.

See Smart contracts and Staking & SYLDX.

Performance fee → holders

A 25% performance fee on client profit is routed 100% to YLDX holders: 90% as cash dividends, 10% as buy-back into the Governance Treasury. See Rewards.

Multisig custody

The cold treasury is 5 sector-based multisig vaults, each requiring 4-of-6 signatures behind a 24-hour time-lock, with 6 designated signers. See Custody.

AI Operator vs human operator

The AI Operator (yldx-operator) produces decisions (scoring, signals, corridor and rebalance recommendations) but never holds keys. A human operator executes; multisig signers authorize fund movements. No single actor can move funds alone. See Security model.

Public vs Live mode

The console runs in two modes:

• Public — demo data for presentation.
• Live — real on-chain reads; a client is a unique address with a real deposit (spam/poisoning filtered).

See Live mode & data.
