Standing Lending Facility (SLF) Liquidity Provision

What is SLF Staking?

Standing Lending Facility (SLF) staking allows you to earn protected, stable yields by providing USDC liquidity as the Senior Tranche in Bondify's structured product factory. Your deposits fund Looper and YT strategies across all CCR-cleared RWA assets, generating returns from multiple revenue streams while being protected by Junior Tranche first-loss capital.

Key Benefits:

  • Senior Tranche Protection: Junior Tranche (Loopers) absorbs first losses before affecting your capital

  • Diversified Risk: Exposure to entire portfolio of quality CCR-cleared RWAs and yield-generating assets in DeFi

  • Professional Management: Sophisticated allocation models optimize your returns

  • Superior Liquidity: Withdraw anytime without lockup periods

  • Stable Returns: widely accepted stablecoin-denominated deposits, yields, and withdrawals

How You Make Money from SLF Staking

Multiple Revenue Streams

Your USDC deposits earn from diverse sources across the Bondify network:

  • YT Upfront Costs: Collect portion of fixed upfront payments from Yield Tranche buyers. Higher Fixed Borrow Cost% accompanied with higher LTV% (typically 95% vs. standard 75%)

  • Looper Stability Fees: Variable fees from leveraged looper positions generated by Junior tranche

  • Insurance Through Structure:

    • YT Fixed Payments: Upfront payments from YT buyers reduce SLF capital at risk

    • Junior Tranche Buffer: Loopers provide first-loss capital (20% of position) that absorbs initial losses

    • Treasury Backstop: Final insurance layer ensures SLF participants protected from liquidation events


Risk-Adjusted Advantage

Unlike traditional lending where your capital is locked for fixed periods, SLF provides:

Senior Tranche Structure:

  • Protected Position: Your capital sits senior in the waterfall, paid before Junior Tranche

  • First-loss shield: 10-20% equity buffer from Loopers protects against initial downside

  • Stable returns: 5~10% APY regardless of leverage levels used by borrowers

Superior Capital Efficiency:

  • Higher yields than lending : Earn higher borrow rate% from traditional RWA lending due to leverage demand

  • Full flexibility maintained: Withdraw anytime despite funding leveraged positions

  • Professional RWA exposure: Access curated RWA assets through purpose-built DeFi infrastructure

Active Yield Optimization:

  • Dynamic allocation: Continuously adjusts between Looper vs YT funding based on demand

  • Risk-weighted deployment: Spreads capital across multiple CCR-cleared assets

  • Utilization management: Maintains 80% target utilization for optimal yield generation

Scenario-Based Rate Innovation

SLF employs differentiated borrowing rates across YT and Looper strategies, improving returns for liquidity providers. Bondify's innovation lies in integrating YT generation into the looping framework with extreme leverage capabilities (95-98% LTV). The integration of YT borrowing - where yield tokens are generated through leveraged borrowing (looping) rather than direct split from PT - elevate the overall blended borrowing rate, thereby providing enhanced supply yields to liquidity providers compared to single-rate lending pools.

How SLF Works

Step 1: Diversified Exposure

Your USDC deposit enters the SLF pool as senior capital, protected by Junior Tranche first-loss buffers. Capital gets allocated across multiple CCR-backed positions, spreading risk while maintaining senior priority in the payment waterfall.

Step 2: Revenue Generation

SLF funds both Looper (75% LTV) and YT strategies (extreme leverage), collecting fees from users who want amplified exposure to RWA yields. You earn a portion of all borrowing fees as the senior lender.

Step 3: Dynamic Optimization

Professional allocation algorithms continuously optimize capital deployment:

  • Asset allocation: Spread across different CCR-cleared RWAs (private credit, tokenized securities, revenue share products)

  • Strategy allocation: Balance between Looper (variable fees) vs YT (fixed upfront) based on demand

  • Utilization management: Target 80% utilization to maximize yields while maintaining withdrawal liquidity

Step 4: Flexible Withdrawals

Unlike traditional RWA staking with lockup periods, SLF maintains deep liquidity reserves allowing you to withdraw your USDC anytime without waiting for asset-specific redemption cycles.


Allocation Strategy

Two-Dimensional Framework

SLF uses sophisticated allocation across:

Asset Dimension:

  • Different CCR-cleared collateral types (Private Credit RWA-A, Tokenized Securities RWA-B, Revenue Share RWA-C)

  • Risk-weighted allocation based on clearing assessment, LTV ratios, and liquidity profiles

  • Debt ceiling limits per asset to prevent concentration risk

Strategy Dimension:

  • YT strategies: Fixed upfront income with known maturities (90-180 days)

  • Looper strategies: Variable 5-10% APY fees from ongoing leveraged positions

  • Optimal split based on market demand and yield opportunities

Dynamic Rebalancing

  • APY Optimization: Continuously seeks highest risk-adjusted returns across CCR assets and strategies

  • Risk management: Adjusts exposure based on asset quality changes (re-clearing assessments), utilization ratios per asset per strategies, junior tranche buffer levels, etc.

  • Liquidity Maintenance: Ensures 20% reserves for instant withdrawals while deploying 80% for maximum yield generation


Risk Considerations

Structural Risk (Mitigated)

  • Junior Tranche Buffer: first-loss capital from Loopers protects SLF

  • Position-level protection: Each leveraged position has dedicated equity cushion

  • Treasury backstop: Final insurance layer for extreme scenarios

Asset Risk (Diversified)

While structured protection is strong, SLF returns depend on:

  • Performance of underlying CCR-cleared RWA assets

  • Borrower demand from Loopers and YT buyers

  • Quality of risk clearing and asset selection

Mitigation: Diversification across multiple CCR assets, professional clearing process, and dynamic allocation

Liquidity Risk (Reserved)

During extreme market conditions, withdrawal capacity may be temporarily reduced if utilization exceeds targets.

Mitigation: 20% recommended reserves, conservative utilization caps, and ability to recall capital from maturing YT positions

Smart Contract Risk

As with all DeFi protocols, smart contract vulnerabilities could affect funds.

Mitigation: Comprehensive audits, gradual deployment, insurance coverage, and battle-tested lending infrastructure


Why SLF is the Senior Tranche

SLF isn't just a lending pool—it's the Senior Tranche in Bondify's structured product:

  1. Payment Priority: Paid before Junior Tranche in the waterfall

  2. First-Loss Protection: Looper equity absorbs initial losses

  3. Stable Returns: 5~10% APY regardless of leverage multiples

  4. Professional Curation: Access quality RWAs through expert clearing

  5. Instant Liquidity: Unlike traditional senior tranches, maintains withdrawal flexibility

This combination of structured protection, stable yields, and liquidity makes SLF ideal for conservative capital seeking protected exposure to high-quality RWA yields.
