Overview

What is Flux?

Flux is an omnichain Proof of Yield protocol that enables:

  • Liquidity providers to earn verifiable yield with transparent risk

  • Managers to access leveraged capital for complex, real-world strategies

  • Automatic risk management through a Strategy-Aware Risk Engine

  • Transparent safety through collateralized positions and automated liquidations

Unlike traditional lending protocols that only support simple token borrowing, Flux enables managers to execute any on-chain strategy—from multi-leg trades to cross-chain positions to complex yield farming.

Flux is designed to support real-world strategies—complex, multi-asset, cross-protocol positions—while providing transparent safety through on-chain risk parameters, automated liquidations, and verifiable collateral tracking.


Key Innovations

1. Callback Architecture for Complex Strategies

Traditional lending only supports simple borrow/withdraw operations. Flux enables managers to execute complex, multi-step strategies atomically.

The callback architecture gives managers the atomic, single-transaction flexibility of a wallet:

  • Swap on one protocol, provide liquidity on another, execute any on-chain action

  • Permissionless execution of complex, multi-leg strategies

  • Atomic operations ensure all-or-nothing execution

After callback execution, the vault validates that positions maintain required collateral ratios in strategy-approved assets.

2. Strategy-Aware Risk Engine

This flexibility is protected by automated liquidation monitoring. When the strategy determines a position should be liquidated (based on health ratios, liquidity conditions, and other risk factors), anyone can execute the liquidation to protect LPs.

Unlike simple LTV-based systems, strategies can implement multi-factor risk analysis:

  • Liquidity risk: Can the position actually be liquidated?

  • Slippage risk: What's the cost of unwinding?

  • Asset composition risk: Are all assets properly valued?

  • Cross-protocol risk: How do positions interact?

This enables support for real-world strategies that other protocols can't handle.

3. Verifiable Safety Through Transparency

  • All positions tracked onchain in real-time

  • All risk parameters visible and immutable (or timelocked)

  • All liquidations automatic and permissionless

  • All oracle prices transparent and auditable

No trust required—only verification.


Core Participants

1. Liquidity Providers (LPs)

Role: Supply capital to earn verifiable, transparent yield

After seeing "trust-me" yield models fail repeatedly, LPs need infrastructure that provides safety through verification, not promises.

Verifiable Safety:

  • Collateralized Positions: Managers post bonds to access capital

  • Real-time Transparency: All positions visible onchain 24/7

  • Automatic Risk Management: Liquidations trigger automatically, no governance delays

  • Strategy-Aware Risk: Multi-factor risk analysis beyond simple LTV

  • Immutable Parameters: Risk rules locked at vault creation (or timelocked changes)

Benefits:

  • Earn interest from managers' borrowed capital

  • Share of protocol fees and curator fees

  • ERC4626-compliant vault shares (composable with DeFi)

  • Standard and queued withdrawal options

  • Emergency withdrawal mechanisms

Why Flux is Different: Unlike opaque yield aggregators, every Flux vault shows you:

  • Exactly what assets managers can trade

  • Exactly what collateral backs your capital

  • Exactly when liquidations trigger

  • Exactly how much managers have at risk first

No black boxes. No trust required.

2. Managers

Role: Access leveraged capital with an automated risk co-pilot

Running complex, multi-asset strategies 24/7 is impossible to monitor manually. Flux automates the hard part—risk management—so you can focus on strategy execution.

Automated Risk Co-Pilot:

  • 24/7 Position Monitoring: System tracks health automatically

  • Automatic Liquidation Protection: Unwinds positions before catastrophic loss

  • Multi-factor Risk Analysis: Not just price—liquidity, slippage, composition

  • Real-time Feedback: Know your exact risk status at all times

Maximum Flexibility:

  • Callback Architecture: Atomic, single-transaction execution of complex strategies

  • Permissionless Execution: Swap, farm, provide liquidity—any on-chain action

  • Multi-asset Support: Trade any whitelisted asset (ERC20s, NFTs, yield-bearing tokens)

  • Cross-protocol: Interact with Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Curve—all in one transaction

The Only Rule: Return the vault's whitelisted assets by end of callback.

Collateralization:

  • Post bond (your capital) before borrowing

  • Bond requirements defined by vault strategy

  • Verifiable collateral—build trust with investors

Benefits:

  • Leveraged capital access (e.g., 5x with 20% bond ratio)

  • Execute complex, real-world strategies other protocols can't support

  • Automated risk management saves you from catastrophic losses

  • Transparent safety builds investor confidence

3. Vault Creators (Curators)

Role: Deploy and configure vaults

Responsibilities:

  • Choose strategy (interest rates, allowed assets, risk parameters)

  • Choose access policy (permissionless or restricted)

  • Earn creator fees (if strategy allows)

Cannot:

  • Change parameters after deployment (for immutable strategies)

  • Access vault funds

  • Override strategy rules

4. Liquidators

Role: Maintain protocol health by liquidating underwater positions

Benefits:

  • Profit from liquidating unhealthy positions

  • Capital-free liquidations via locked_borrow()

  • Simplified liquidation bonus model

How It Works:

  • Healthy positions (collateral ≥ debt): Zero bonus

  • Underwater positions (collateral < debt): Profit based on liquidationProfitMargin (0-20%)

    • Default (1%): Pay 99% of collateral value, keep 1% profit

    • Altruistic (0%): Pay 100% of collateral value, break-even

    • Maximum (20%): Pay 80% of collateral value, keep 20% profit
