⚪ Custom Strategy

Risk Level: Variable | APY: Variable

Build from scratch with full parameter control.


Building a Strategy

Step 1: Deposit & Mint nUSD

Select your collateral asset and view the minting parameters. The collateral ratio determines how much nUSD you can mint relative to your deposit.

Step 2: Protocol Allocation

Define how your capital is distributed across DeFi protocols. Each template has optimized allocations, or customize for your needs.

Step 3: Rebalancing Rules

Set when and how the strategy rebalances to maintain target allocations.


Configuration Panel

Deploying a Strategy

  1. Configure — Set all parameters

  2. Review — Check summary stats

  3. Connect Wallet — Approve transactions

  4. Deploy — Execute on-chain

  5. Monitor — Track via dashboard

All strategies execute on-chain with deterministic logic. Every action is verifiable.


Strategy Management

Active Strategies

View all deployed strategies:

  • Current value

  • P&L since inception

  • Time active

  • Next rebalance

Modify Strategy

Adjust parameters on active strategies:

  • Change allocations

  • Update risk parameters

  • Pause/resume rebalancing

Withdraw

Exit a strategy:

  • Partial withdrawal

  • Full withdrawal with nUSD burn


Best Practices

  1. Start conservative — Use Safe Yield template first

  2. Diversify — Don't put all capital in one strategy

  3. Monitor weekly — Check performance and adjust

  4. Understand the protocols — Know where your funds go

  5. Keep reserves — Don't deploy 100% of capital


FAQ

Q: Can I change my strategy after deploying? A: Yes, you can modify parameters anytime. Changes take effect at next rebalance.

Q: What happens if a protocol gets hacked? A: Strategies diversify across protocols. Reserve allocation provides buffer. Insurance integrations coming soon.

Q: How is APY calculated? A: Based on historical protocol yields, adjusted for fees and rebalancing costs.

Q: Can I lose money? A: Yes. Even safe strategies have drawdown potential. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
