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
- Deposit USDC (or other supported assets) into a GX Yield vault
- Receive gxUSDC receipt tokens (ERC-4626 standard)
- The vault automatically allocates funds across yield sources
- Returns are compounded automatically — your gxUSDC balance grows over time
- Withdraw at any time by redeeming gxUSDC
Vault Types
| Vault | Underlying Asset | Strategy | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| gxUSDC | USDC | Lend + LP + external yield | Low |
| gxETH | ETH | Lend + staking + LP | Medium |
| gxBTC | BTC | Lend + LP | Medium |
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:
| Source | Description | Typical APY |
|---|---|---|
| GX Lend Supply | Supply USDC to GX Lend for lending interest | 4-8% |
| GX Swap LP | Provide liquidity to GX Swap pools | 5-15% |
| External Lending | Route to external protocols (Aave, Compound) on Arbitrum | 3-10% |
| Staking Yield | ETH staking via liquid staking protocols | 3-5% |
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
| Fee | Rate | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Management Fee | 0% | No management fee |
| Performance Fee | 10-20% | Charged on yield generated above deposit |
| Withdrawal Fee | 0% | 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
