MECHANISM

HOW IT WORKS

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

01

SUBSCRIBE

Deposit tWETH into the Aquifer Vault on Arbitrum One. Pick your settlement target from the available strikes. 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 tWETH converts to tUSDT at the strike. Otherwise, tWETH 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.
