BEHAVIOURAL RISK PRICING — DIP BUYER

DIP BUYER

A cash-secured put on a price dip. Deposit USDC and name the target you'd be willing to buy at; if the underlying settles at or below your target, your USDC converts to it at the strike. Otherwise, premium plus deposit returns. Same mechanism as Dual Currency BUY LOW, framed for accumulation.

MECHANISM

HOW IT WORKS

Three deterministic steps from deposit to settlement. No discretion, no early exit.

01

SUBSCRIBE

Deposit tUSDT into the Aquifer Vault on Arbitrum One. Pick a dip-buy target below spot. Funds lock immediately until settlement.

02

HOLD TO SETTLEMENT

Your position is recorded on-chain. Premium accrues from TreasuryReserve at the contractual term rate. The Guardian Layer enforces pre-settlement risk checks.

03

SETTLE

If tWETH ≤ target at 08:00 UTC, your tUSDT converts to tWETH at the strike. Otherwise, tUSDT returns in full. Premium credited in both cases.

ANALYTICS

PAYOFF AT SETTLEMENT

PROTOCOL DETAIL

RISK DISCLOSURE

  • Irreversible. Settlement executes at 08:00 UTC with no early exit path.
  • Asset conversion. If the strike is reached, your deposit changes currency at the strike price — which may differ from market spot at settlement.
  • Smart contract. Funds are custodied in Vault.sol on Arbitrum One. The contracts are audited, not insured.
  • Oracle. Settlement price is the Chainlink mid at 08:00 UTC. Any oracle outage delays settlement.
  • Premium funding. Premium is paid from TreasuryReserve. The amount is guaranteed; the conversion direction is not.
