SMART Alpha is Live
SMART Alpha has been deployed on Polygon! Users can deposit into the available pools.
- WBTC / USD: Deposit wBTC with performance measured in USD
- WBTC / ETH: Deposit wBTC with performance measured in ETH
- WETH / USD: Deposit wETH with performance measured in USD
- WETH / BTC: Deposit wETH with performance measured in BTC
To learn more about how SMART Alpha outcomes are determined, and whether the junior or senior positions for any of these pools is preferable for you, please refer to their previously written articles:
You’ll be able to monitor the expected junior dominance for the upcoming epoch under each pool’s user interface. Moreover, you’ll be able to simulate the potential outcomes under specific junior dominance regimes.
Each pool will display its current epoch’s conditions as well as the expected conditions for the coming epoch.
As always, please be aware of the following risks associated with SMART Alpha:
- Junior positions may be exposed to significant downside leverage
- Senior positions give up a portion of their upside participation
- Withdrawals are not accessible until epoch advancement
- Secondary markets for both junior and senior positions may not necessarily trade in line with their fair value at any given point in time
- These are brand new smart contracts that despite having been reviewed and audited still bear technical risk
- Digital assets are inherently volatile assets and some, like wBTC, further bear implicit counterparty risk
About BarnBridge
