Introducing Term V2: The next layer of fixed-rate DeFi.
Term V2 brings a peer-to-peer order book and atomic execution layer.
With Term V2 live, the complete experience of Terminal 1 — an interface and routing system for fixed-rate markets— is unlocked. Users can express fixed-rate terms while capital stays productive, then route and execute positions in a single transaction.
True fixed-rate, fixed-term markets, made executable.

We’re glad to have supported Auto Finance with a security review of the latest updates to their Autopools, the self-rebalancing vaults that automate onchain liquidity management.
Our audit covered the new ExitDestinations emergency recovery flow, the Autopool rebalancing and streaming-fee accounting, and nested Autopool valuation.
Wishing the Auto Finance team the best as they continue building

V3 is live.
The new UI is up, and all positions are fully migrated.
We are purposefully launching with limited deposit caps so that we can verify everything is operating safely and smoothly.
Caps lift Monday for full launch.

Observation window routes all yield to Junior.
During the observation window, all yield generated by the underlying strategy flows to the Junior tranche to offset potential losses with amplified yield.
The multiplier depends on the tranche size ratio. In the current autoUSD market (from @autopools), Senior TVL is $940K and Junior TVL $147K.
That produces a 6.4x yield multiplier for Junior during observation, reducing realized losses.
The observation window delays loss execution and boosts Junior compensation while the protocol monitors for recovery.
Royco protects Senior and Junior tranche participants.
Senior tranche depositors sit behind Junior capital that absorbs losses first. Junior tranche participants get higher yield in exchange. That's standard tranching.
Royco adds observation windows on top. When an asset drawdown occurs, the protocol doesn't execute losses immediately. The system monitors whether the drawdown falls within normal volatility ranges.
If it does, Royco waits for price recovery before executing.
Built to protect both sides by design.

Who said DeFi yields are gone?
Royco's top three junior tranches are paying returns that stand out clearly against the rest of the market right now.
- autoUSD from @autopools is at 34.12% APY on the junior side.
- @Neutrl 's sNUSD junior tranche is running 10.41%.
- @avantprotocol savUSD junior sits at 5.6%. The weekly average is even higher.
These are variable rates, of course, but right now they're significantly more competitive than most DeFi options.
If you think the sector is dead, you're not looking in the right places.

AutoUSD senior tranche: 14.36% APY.
That's the yield right now on @autopools's stablecoin vault.
However, a key number to watch is utilization: currently at 74%.
At 74% utilization, Junior deposits provide 13.52% first-loss coverage for Senior capital.
When utilization rises toward 100%:
- Junior can't withdraw because capital is fully deployed, absorbing risk for Senior.
- Junior yield increases to attract more capital.
- Or senior deposits get pushed out as more yield shifts to Junior.
The curve adjusts the yield automatically. Yield goes to the side the market needs.
Protected or leveraged yields on Autopools. Choose your own adventure.
Royco is working to make tranched DeFi yields simpler.
Royco Dawn is a non-custodial risk-tranching protocol (built by the OG Founder of Rari Capital) that splits yield so seniors can earn with first-loss protection, while Junior absorb those losses first, and in exchange earn more for providing protection.
For example, Seniors in the autoUSD market (@autopools) are earning a base yield of ~18%, but giving up 3.85% to Juniors for their protection.
Juniors meanwhile, due to the balance of Seniors and Juniors in this market, as well as the Risk Premium earned from Seniors, earn about ~8% more (totaling 25-26% APY).
Liquidity is still being bootstrapped but love to see Royco Dawn markets add more depth, with more demand.

🚨 Juicy yield alert🚨
@roycoprotocol risk tranches of @autopools autoUSD
senior autoUSD: 14%
junior autoUSD: 26%
Seniors currently have 13% first loss coverage.
Juniors are earning a whopping 8% risk premium.
You won't find better analytics for risk tranches. Truly top notch. The exact data users need to make informed risk/reward calculations before depositing.
Going institutional -> Becoming professionals and embracing maturing standards across a variety of dimensions.
side-note: Innovation can still be fun, even if things look a little different than before

Resistance to new technologies is always very strong.
Most people are scared of change.
Don’t be.
