Yuzu Protection Pool (yzPP)

yzPP is a first loss tranche inspired by Resolv’s RLP. Depositors in yzPP accept first loss risk on the underlying strategies in exchange for higher target yield, funded partly by the Reserve Fund.

  • Minting: Deposit USDC to mint yzPP.

  • Yield Composition: (a) base yield tracking syzUSD; (b) an additional protocol funded yield budget sized by policy.

  • Collateralization Ratio=yzUSD Supply + yzPP TVLyzUSD SupplyCollateralization\ Ratio = \frac{ yzUSD\ Supply \ +\ yzPP \ TVL}{yzUSD\ Supply}

  • Exit Condition: redeemable at any time provided the yzUSD collateralization ratio remains > 110%.

  • Program Cadence: The additional yield budget is set weekly on Wednesdays at 04:00 UTC (covering Wed 04:00 UTC to Wed 03:59 UTC).

  • In the event of a loss incurred by the Collateral Pool, minting and redemption of yzPP — including any redemptions currently in process — will be paused for an initial period of 7 days. This pause may be extended to allow for a full assessment of the situation.
