About Koi finance

Koi is one of the largest zkRollup DeFi Platforms built on zkSync Era. Invest & trade, earn yields, and participate in Bonds all on one decentralized, community driven platform. Leverage the security of Ethereum without high gas fees. Koi is designed to have a dynamic setup for Liquidity Pools so that both Stable and AMM curves can be utilized. There can be a Normal and Stable pool for the same assets. Koi will find the best priced trade regardless of pool type. Koi comes prefabbed with a built in LP governance & delegation system. This allows for complex protocols to be built on-top of the Koi protocol, but also allows for dynamic fees within any LP pool.

Koi Bonds

Bonding is the process of trading KOI-ETH LP share to the Koi DAO for KOI. The protocol quotes an amount of KOI and a vesting period for the trade. It is important to know: when you purchase a bond, you are selling your LP share/tokens. The Koi DAO compensates you with more Koi than you’d get on the market, but your exposure becomes entirely to Koi and no longer to KOI-ETH LP.

The purpose of Koi bonds is to increase the amount of Protocol Owned Liquidity via the Koi DAO which increases the revenue towards the treasury and long term liquidity for the protocol. The benefit to bonding allows a user to purchase Koi at a lower cost basis.

Bonds are sold at a first come first serve basis. A bond ROI starts at 0% and increases slowly until it is purchased. Once purchased, the cycle is reset with a new bond and Koi is paid out over 7 days via a veKOI lock.

Koi Farming Pools

Koi farming pools is a liquidity reward protocol that allows LPs to gain additional revenue APY & take part in the Koi ecosystem. Amplifier rewards are fueled by platform revenue and fees, which come directly from the buy back and make system the Koite DAO has in place.

Do note, there are not amplifier pairs for every liquidity pair on the Switch. Rather, amplified pairs are decided up by the team and Koi DAO. There will be amplified pairs for important base liquidity pairs such as ETH/USDC, WBTC/USDC etc. These will be linked and updated on this page as those become available.

The Koi Farming pool protocol has introduced a novel system that sets it apart from traditional dynamic farming models by implementing a static APY model. This innovative approach enables the protocol, as well as its partners & users, to generate calculated revenue based on the rewards distributed to farmers.

The base APY in an amplifier is static. Additionally, if the pool has an extra amplifier APY set, the max apy is determined by a ratio of the users Ve vote share value to the lp value being deposited.

Rewards are allocated immediately upon deposit and disbursed gradually over the month based on user redemptions. If the user chooses to withdraw their funds prematurely, they forfeit the remaining unmatured rewards.

To own the max Amplified APY, you must have a vote share value of equal or greater to the value of lp being deposited.

Your veKOI votes/holdings carry over to all amplifiers. If you are providing your LP to two amplifiers, your veKOI vote share balance is not split among them. Taking the previous example, if you provided LP on two pairs using those same exact numbers as above, your APY on both would be 12.5%. This is to encourage participation in all pools.
