1. Introduction
Welcome to Issō, a groundbreaking decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that empowers users to multiply the value of their assets through Mirror Tokens (MT), a Hybrid Liquidity Model, and Yield-Boosted Liquidity Pools.
By pledging Ethereum-based assets (ETH), users can mint synthetic mirror tokens that fuel high-efficiency trading pools. These pools dynamically determine the price of mirror tokens, offering exposure to potential exponential growth.
Issō introduces a hybrid AMM + orderbook model, automated liquidity vaults, and passive yield strategies, ensuring optimal market conditions, low slippage, and sustainable returns.
2. How Issō Works: Unlock and Multiply Your Asset Value
Issō operates through three key steps:
- Pledging Assets
- Minting Mirror Tokens (MT)
- Creating or Joining Hybrid Liquidity Pools
2.1 Pledge Ethereum-Based Assets and Mint Mirror Tokens
- Pledging: Users pledge Ethereum-based assets (ETH, wETH, AAVE, etc.) to the protocol. In return, they mint synthetic mirror tokens (MT) pegged at 1 USDT per token at minting.
- Example: If 1 ETH is worth $3,500, pledging 1 ETH mints 3,500 MT, each valued at 1 USDT at minting.
- Customizable Mirror Tokens: Users can personalize their MT (e.g., "ETH-Mirror-Alex").
- Collateralization: MT are backed by ETH at a 125% collateralization ratio, ensuring security during volatility.
2.2 Hybrid Liquidity Model: AMM + Orderbook Integration
Issō integrates an AMM + Orderbook model to reduce slippage, improve efficiency, and optimize execution:
- AMM Liquidity Pools ensure continuous on-chain liquidity.
- Decentralized Orderbook allows traders to place limit & market orders for optimal pricing.
- Smart Liquidity Routing selects the best execution path (AMM or Orderbook) to ensure low slippage and fair pricing.
This hybrid model combines the best of DeFi’s permissionless liquidity with the precision of centralized trading, offering traders and LPs the best of both worlds.
2.3 Trading & Dynamic Pricing
- Constant Product AMM: Liquidity pools operate using x × y = k, adjusting MT prices dynamically.
- Orderbook Execution: Reduces slippage during large trades or volatile markets.
- Price Appreciation Potential:
- If trading increases MT demand, its price rises above the $1 minting peg.
- Liquidity providers benefit from higher-value LP positions.
3. The Finalized Redemption Model & ETH Pledge Evolution
3.1 Guaranteed Redemption Rate
- Users can redeem their pledged ETH at the original minting rate (1 MT = 1 USDT) after 90 days.
- If users choose not to redeem, they retain MT and benefit from price appreciation driven by trading activity.
3.2 ETH Pledge Evolution
- If a user sells MT or withdraws liquidity before 90 days, the ETH pledge dissolves.
- ETH Allocation Upon Early Exit:
- 50% of pledged ETH is injected into the protocol’s liquidity reserve, ensuring market stability.
- 50% remains with the pledgor, along with any trading profits or liquidity fees earned.
4. Yield-Boosted Liquidity Pools: Higher Returns for Liquidity Providers
4.1 Enhancing Liquidity Provider Incentives
Issō ensures deep liquidity and sustainable incentives for LPs by introducing Yield-Boosted Liquidity Pools.
4.2 How It Works
- Liquidity providers stake their AMM LP tokens into Boosted Vaults, earning:
- Trading fees from pool volume.
- MT governance token incentives for long-term staking.
- Lending yields when MT is borrowed for leveraged trading.
- Fee structures dynamically adjust based on market conditions, rewarding LPs for providing liquidity during volatility.
4.3 Benefits
- Higher LP earnings, ensuring long-term commitment.
- Encourages deep liquidity, improving trade execution.
- Reduces short-term farming behaviors, increasing market resilience.
5. MT Strategy Vaults: Passive Yield Optimization
5.1 Automating Liquidity Strategies
Users can now delegate liquidity management to experienced market participants via MT Strategy Vaults.
5.2 How It Works
- Users deposit MT + paired assets into strategy-managed vaults.
- Two types of strategy managers:
- Experienced LPs who dynamically rebalance positions.
- Algorithmic trading strategies optimizing liquidity for higher yield.
- Strategy managers receive a performance fee from trading profits.
5.3 Benefits
- Lower barrier for passive investors to earn optimized yields.
- Deeper liquidity pools, ensuring better trading conditions.
- Encourages strategic liquidity allocation, reducing inefficiencies.
6. Risk Mitigation and Protocol Security
6.1 Collateralization Ratios
- Dynamic collateralization safeguards the protocol against price volatility.
- Automated liquidation mechanisms prevent under-collateralization risks.
6.2 Impermanent Loss Protection & Education
- Users gain access to risk calculators and educational tools before entering pools.
6.3 Oracle Integration
- Decentralized oracles (e.g., Chainlink) provide accurate price feeds, reducing manipulation risks.
6.4 Smart Contract Security
- Regular audits and bug bounty programs ensure protocol integrity.
