Aethir on Yield Pass
Checker Node Owners have two options to use Yield Pass. Below is how they work, the benefits, and the potential risks of each:
DEPOSIT & EARN: Earn swap fees and MetaStreet Node Crystals when you deposit and become a Liquidity Provider for $ATH and Yield Pass ($YP) Tokens
DEPOSIT & SELL: Instantly unlock liquidity when you deposit and sell your $YP for $ATH, however, you will NOT be eligible for MetaStreet Node Crystals
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Node must be delegated (cannot be self-run) to one of our partners: Easeflow, Infstones, NodesOps or Zentry in order to be eligible for deposit
To earn Node Crystals, you must (1) create an Ascend account and (2) not sell your LP tokens. Any Crystals earned prior to selling your LP will remain
1. Deposit & Earn
This option allows you to earn swap fees and MetaStreet Node Crystals (our native rewards) by becoming a Liquidity Provider (LP).
How it Works:
Reminder: These three steps occur in one single, bundled transaction
Deposit & Mint: Deposit your node to mint two tokens:
Yield Pass ($YP): represents future $ATH emissions/airdrops, claimable when the pool expires
Discount Pass (DP): represents node ownership, claimable when the pool expires
Borrow: Use your DP as collateral to borrow $ATH with the following terms:
Amount and Rate: 3,000 $ATH at 0% APR (introductory rate)
Term: 120 days or 1 year, depending on when you deposited
Provide Liquidity: Supply $YP and $ATH to the Liquidity Pool to:
Earn swap fees by creating a more liquid swap market for $ATH
Benefits:
Earn yield through swap fees and earn MetaStreet's Node Crystals
Access liquidity without selling your node or waiting for emissions and/or vesting
Borrow at 0% APR for a limited time
Risks:
Impermanent Loss: Market fluctuations in price between the time of deposit and withdrawal may change the value of your underlying LP position, specifically the quantity of each token
Loan Default: Failing to repay your loan before maturity date will result in the loss of your node. Set calendar reminders to avoid default. Read about Withdrawals below
2. Deposit & Sell
Instantly unlock liquidity when you deposit and sell your $YP for $ATH, however, you will NOT be eligible for MetaStreet Node Crystals.
How it Works:
Deposit & Mint: Deposit your node to mint two tokens:
Yield Pass ($YP): represents future $ATH emissions/airdrops, claimable when the pool expires
Discount Pass (DP): represents node ownership, claimable when the pool expires
Sell: Swap $YP for $ATH instantly from the Liquidity Pool (Uniswap)
Benefits:
Immediate liquidity without waiting for pool expiration and/or the 180 day vesting period
Risks:
You are accepting the current swap rate for $ATH, which is market dependent
You forfeit the ability to earn swap fees and MetaStreet Node Crystals
Final Steps: Withdraw, Rollover, Claim
Depositors have two options at the pool expiration:
ROLLOVER: Roll your node over into the next Yield pass pool
WITHDRAW: Exit the pool by removing your node from Yield Pass
IMPORTANT NOTES:
You MUST complete either option prior to loan maturity to avoid default
Rollovers do not impact the claims process since each new pool will have a new Yield Pass pool
1. ROLLOVER
This option allows a depositor to fully exit their position from Yield Pass. Here are the steps:
Unlike for Deposit, these transactions will require individual steps
Remove LP Tokens: Remove liquidity to receive $YP and $ATH
Refinance Node: Refinance your DP loan
Rollover Node: Rollover your node into the new pool
Claim ATH Emissions: Burn your $YP to receive $ATH
Node will not have idle time where it isn't earning emissions
2. WITHDRAW
This option allows a depositor to fully exit their position from Yield Pass. Here are the steps:
Unlike for Deposit, these transactions will require individual steps
Remove LP Tokens: Remove liquidity to receive $YP and $ATH
Repay Borrowed $ATH: Repay your loan to reclaim your DP Token
Redeem Node: Use your DP to reclaim your node
Claim $ATH Emissions: Burn your $YP to receive $ATH
The user must re-delegate their node after they exit with their operator
CLAIM
If you minted $YP or purchased $YP via swaps, you are not affected by either Withdraw or Rollover options. Here are the steps:
Vesting: Claims will open 180 days after pool expiration
Claim: Claim your vATH emissions and receive $ATH immediately
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Claims will open 180 days after pool's expiration due to the required Aethir vesting period
Once claims open, claims will be processed with no additional vesting
Claims are a one-time process to avoid confusion and errors (you will not be able to redeem for less than the full amount of YP you own)
