PunchVIX
Overview
PunchVIX is a decentralized volatility index protocol within PunchSwap, enabling users to earn yield from the price changes of Flow EVM native and bridged assets. By tokenizing volatility indices, PunchVIX provides exposure to market volatility through diversified token baskets while offering direct yield farming opportunities.
Core Features
Fundamentally, PunchVIX works by creating a wrapped token of an underlying asset or basket of assets. These wrapped tokens trade openly on the market, and when the value of the wrapped token differs from the underlying asset market price, an arbitrage opportunity forms.
Arbitrage can be done via DEX trading to balance asset value, or via direct bond/unbond functions. All actions incur a protocol fee that goes back into the system via a combo of LP rewards, vixTKN burns, and FVIX buybacks.
Volatility Index Tokens (VIX Tokens)
Description: Tokenized volatility indices representing weighted baskets of assets.
Key Elements:
Rebalancing: Automatic maintenance of index weights.
Composability: Eligible for use in DeFi protocols, such as PunchLend.
Index Management
Bonding (Minting): Deposit assets to mint VIX tokens with a configurable bond fee.
Debonding (Redeeming): Burn VIX tokens for underlying assets, subject to a debond fee.
Trading & Liquidity
DEX Integration: Trade VIX tokens on PunchSwap DEX, with applicable buy/sell fees.
Note - this can be a sticky experience and we are actively improving it. Please note that the DEX router struggles to initiate transactions that trigger the fee distribution function, so you may need to wait for a bit until transactions are viable.
Liquidity Provision: Provide liquidity to earn trading fees, represented by LP tokens.
Staking & Rewards
LP Token Staking: Stake to earn additional rewards, with flexible withdrawal options.
Reward Distribution: Automatic reward compounding available.
