How OrbitYield Works

OrbitYield employs cutting-edge AI and blockchain technology to optimize your yield across multiple chains. Here's everything you need to know about how our platform works.

Platform Overview

OrbitYield is an AI-powered cross-chain yield aggregator that automatically maximizes returns on your crypto assets. Our platform identifies the most profitable yield opportunities across multiple blockchains and protocols, then allocates your funds accordingly.

Unlike traditional yield aggregators that operate on a single chain, OrbitYield can seamlessly move your assets across different blockchains to capture the highest yields wherever they may be.

The platform is designed to be non-custodial, meaning you always maintain control of your assets. OrbitYield smart contracts interact with various DeFi protocols on your behalf, but funds can only move according to predefined parameters and with your explicit permission.

The OrbitYield Process

1

Analysis & Opportunity Discovery

Our AI algorithms continuously scan the DeFi landscape across all supported blockchains, analyzing:

  • Current APY/APR of various protocols
  • Historical yield stability
  • Protocol security metrics and audit status
  • Total value locked (TVL)
  • Gas costs for interactions
  • Liquidity depth and withdrawal conditions

The algorithms then rank opportunities based on a combination of yield potential, risk assessment, and your personal investment preferences.

Strategy Creation & Optimization

Based on the discovered opportunities, OrbitYield creates optimized yield strategies that:

  • Balance potential returns against risk
  • Factor in gas costs and bridge fees for cross-chain movements
  • Consider impermanent loss potential for liquidity pools
  • Account for lockup periods and withdrawal conditions
  • Create diversification across different yield sources

Our StrategyFactory smart contracts then prepare these strategies for deployment, ensuring they meet all security requirements and operational parameters.

Asset Deployment & Management

Once you choose a strategy and deposit funds, the YieldAggregator smart contract:

  • Accepts your deposit and records your position
  • Routes your assets to the appropriate protocols across chains
  • Monitors position performance in real-time
  • Automatically harvests and compounds yields when profitable
  • Maintains detailed records of all transactions and earnings

The deployed strategy contracts interact directly with the underlying DeFi protocols using specialized adapters for each platform, ensuring optimal integration and security.

Continuous Optimization & Rebalancing

The DeFi landscape changes rapidly, so OrbitYield continuously:

  • Monitors existing positions for performance changes
  • Evaluates new yield opportunities as they emerge
  • Calculates whether rebalancing would improve returns
  • Executes rebalancing when benefits exceed transaction costs
  • Updates risk assessments based on protocol behavior

This active management ensures your assets are always positioned to capture the best yields available, adjusting to market conditions automatically.

Transparent Reporting & Withdrawals

Throughout your investment with OrbitYield, you have full visibility and control:

  • Real-time performance dashboard showing current yields
  • Detailed transaction history and fee accounting
  • Asset allocation breakdown across chains and protocols
  • One-click withdrawal process for any or all assets
  • Emergency withdrawal function for urgent access needs

When you request a withdrawal, the platform automatically retrieves your assets from the deployed strategies and returns them to your wallet, calculating and distributing any accrued yields in the process.

Security & Risk Management

Platform Security

OrbitYield employs multiple layers of security to protect user funds:

  • Audited Smart Contracts: All contracts undergo thorough security audits by leading firms.
  • Multi-Signature Controls: Admin functions require multiple approvals through our MultiSig wallet.
  • Formal Verification: Critical contract functions are mathematically verified.
  • Open Source Code: All contracts are publicly verifiable.
  • Bug Bounty Program: Rewards for responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities.

Risk Assessment Framework

Our AI risk assessment model evaluates protocols on several dimensions:

  • Smart Contract Risk: Code quality, audit status, historical vulnerabilities.
  • Market Risk: Volatility, liquidity, impermanent loss potential.
  • Counterparty Risk: Protocol governance, team experience, track record.
  • Oracle Risk: Price feed reliability and manipulation resistance.
  • Operational Risk: Protocol complexity, dependencies, upgrade history.

Emergency Features

Emergency Withdrawals

Users can trigger emergency withdrawals that bypass normal withdrawal processes in urgent situations, ensuring you always have access to your funds.

Circuit Breakers

Automatic system pausing if unusual activity is detected, such as large unexpected losses or transaction patterns that indicate potential exploits.

Strategy Isolation

Each strategy operates independently, preventing issues in one strategy from affecting others and limiting the scope of potential problems.

Governance Controls

Critical system changes require multi-signature approval and often include time-locks, giving users time to withdraw if they disagree with changes.

Fee Structure

OrbitYield maintains a simple and transparent fee structure designed to align our interests with those of our users:

Performance Fee

10%

We take a 10% fee on the yields generated by your investments. This is only applied to earnings, not your principal amount, ensuring we only profit when you do.

Deposit Fee

0%

We do not charge any fees for depositing assets into OrbitYield strategies. You only pay the network gas fees required for transactions.

Withdrawal Fee

0%

There are no withdrawal fees for removing your assets from OrbitYield strategies. You only pay the network gas fees required for transactions.

Additional Costs

When using OrbitYield, there are some external costs to be aware of:

  • Gas Fees: Network transaction fees for operations like deposits, withdrawals, and harvesting.
  • Bridge Fees: When assets move across chains, there may be bridge protocol fees.
  • Protocol Fees: Some underlying protocols charge their own fees (included in APY calculations).

OrbitYield's optimization algorithms factor these costs into strategy creation, ensuring transactions only occur when the benefits significantly outweigh the costs.
