What is Stasis?

Stasis is a protocol maintaining rSTS, a yield-bearing token backed by USDC and designed to generate stable returns through delta-neutral strategies.

The protocol's main features include:

  • Issuance and redemption of rSTS against USDC deposits;

  • Maintaining delta-neutral positions through perpetual futures on Hyperliquid;

  • Generating stable yield (5-6% APY) through funding rate arbitrage;

  • Auto-compounding mechanism that automatically reinvests earned yield.

Both deposits and withdrawals can be executed by users on a 1:1 basis with USDC, while the rSTS token automatically accrues value over time through the protocol's yield generation activities.

Key Benefits

πŸ›‘οΈ Market Neutral

The protocol maintains delta-neutral positions, protecting users from cryptocurrency market volatility while still generating yield.

πŸ’° Stable Returns

Target APY of 5-6% through systematic funding rate arbitrage, providing predictable returns in volatile markets.

πŸ”„ Auto-Compounding

The rSTS token automatically accrues value as yield is generated and reinvested, eliminating the need for manual claiming.

πŸ’§ Instant Liquidity

No lock-up periods or withdrawal fees - users can deposit and withdraw at any time based on the current exchange rate.

πŸ”’ Non-Custodial

Users maintain full control of their funds through smart contracts deployed on Avalanche, with transparent and auditable operations.

How It Works

  2. Strategy Execution: The protocol deploys capital in delta-neutral positions on Hyperliquid

  3. Yield Generation: Funding rate arbitrage generates consistent returns

  4. Auto-Compounding: Earned yield is automatically reinvested, increasing the rSTS exchange rate

  5. Withdrawal: Users can redeem rSTS for USDC at any time at the current exchange rate

Target Users

Stasis is designed for:

  • Conservative DeFi investors seeking stable yield without market exposure

  • Institutions requiring predictable returns for treasury management
