AmuVaults

Vault Manager

Amulet's architectural framework is a dedicated vault manager, implemented as smaller individual smart contracts for enhanced code readability, ease of development, and to facilitate thorough security auditing and overall security in general. This strategic and logical separation of distinct functionalities into discrete smart contracts is a critical technical decision, driven by the recognition that different operations can be more efficiently and safely executed through specialized modules. Consequently, AmuVaults encapsulate core functionalities related to deposits, storage, and withdrawals, while the vault manager independently manages yield auto-compounding and distribution which share similar characteristics.

Amulet Liquid Solana Staking

Strategy

To provide long-term capital growth by staking SOL in liquid staking protocol Amulet’s Liquid Staking pool for SOL and MEV rewards compounded automatically every 2-3 days by validators writing data on the Solana blockchain to optimize yield.

Disclaimer: This information is for educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice, and users should conduct thorough research and consider risks before engaging with any DeFi or Web3 protocols. Cryptocurrency investments involve inherent risks.

Risk Profile

Assets staked in liquid staking protocols face several risks, most common being smart contract and stToken exchange price risk. Smart contract risk is the risk of assets locked permanently in the protocol due to code errors or stolen due to exploits of code vulnerabilities. stToken exchange price risk refers to its price volatility when sold on exchanges instead of redeeming it through the liquid staking protocol.

In addition, governance decisions made by the community may not align with all users' interests, potentially affecting protocol parameters and user positions. There are also potential challenges and uncertainties associated with an evolving regulatory environment surrounding DeFi and crypto assets in general.

Investing in SOL entails several risks, including market volatility, technology and smart contract vulnerabilities, regulatory uncertainties, competition from other blockchain platforms, potential disruptions during network upgrades, liquidity challenges, dependence on adoption and use cases, and external events impacting the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Holding amtSOL involves potential risks, including smart contract vulnerabilities, market volatility affecting the underlying asset's value, limited liquidity during staking periods, regulatory uncertainties, and network-related risks such as software upgrades or changes in consensus mechanisms.

Unsecured loans pose higher credit risks due to the absence of collateral, which may result in higher interest rates to mitigate potential financial losses due to fewer means of recovery. Therefore, careful consideration of creditworthiness, market conditions, and repayment capabilities is crucial when dealing with unsecured loans. Borrowers onboarded by Clearpool must be verified institutions, agree to the protocol’s loan terms, under credit risk assessment and scoring by Credora, and while not required are at least encouraged to use an MPC wallet for their borrowings and repayments.

Other risks may include, but are not limited to, variable interest rates which, subject to market conditions, introduce uncertainty in borrowing costs and lending yields, and evolving regulatory environments which may affect protocol operations.
