GX Yield Optimizer

Overview

GX Yield is an automated yield aggregation protocol purpose-built for GX Exchange, deployed on Arbitrum One. It automatically routes user deposits to the highest-yielding strategies across GX Lend, GX Swap LP positions, and external protocols, compounding returns automatically.

How It Works

  1. Deposit USDC (or other supported assets) into a GX Yield vault
  2. Receive gxUSDC receipt tokens (ERC-4626 standard)
  3. The vault automatically allocates funds across yield sources
  4. Returns are compounded automatically — your gxUSDC balance grows over time
  5. Withdraw at any time by redeeming gxUSDC

ERC-4626 Standard

All GX Yield vaults implement the ERC-4626 tokenized vault standard:

// ERC-4626 interface
function deposit(uint256 assets, address receiver) returns (uint256 shares);
function withdraw(uint256 assets, address receiver, address owner) returns (uint256 shares);
function totalAssets() returns (uint256);
function convertToShares(uint256 assets) returns (uint256);
function convertToAssets(uint256 shares) returns (uint256);

This standard enables composability — gxUSDC can be used as collateral on GX Lend, traded on GX Swap, or integrated into any ERC-4626 compatible protocol.

Yield Sources

The optimizer evaluates and allocates across the following sources:

SourceDescriptionTypical APY
GX Lend SupplySupply USDC to GX Lend for lending interest4-8%
GX Swap LPProvide liquidity to GX Swap pools5-15%
External LendingRoute to external protocols (Aave, Compound) on Arbitrum3-10%
Staking YieldETH staking via liquid staking protocols3-5%

Strategy Marketplace

Community members can create and submit new yield strategies to GX Yield vaults:

  • Strategies are reviewed and risk-scored before activation
  • Strategy creators earn a share of the performance fee
  • Each strategy has a risk score (1-10) displayed to users
  • Users can choose vaults based on risk preference

Fee Structure

Management Fee0%No management fee
Performance Fee10-20%Charged on yield generated above deposit
Withdrawal Fee0%No withdrawal fee

Revenue Model

GX Yield generates revenue through performance fees on generated yield:

  • Performance fees are deducted from returns before they accrue to depositors
  • Fees flow to the GX Treasury
  • At $100M TVL generating 8% APY, a 10% performance fee = $800,000/year
