FAQ
Neuron offers structured products (Pools): strategies that help user perpetually buy and sell derivatives and get yield. Different from structured products ever created, portion of Neuron Pool’s deposits also earn interest in Curve or similar money-market, so user can expect double yields on the same capital. Not counting staking for NEUR rewards.
Simply deposit and forget, then come to see your yield. After deposit, Pool starts selling options (collateralized by deposits) and/or buying options (on pool’s funds) according to the algorithmic strategy. For example, ETH covered call strategy earns much more if ETH goes up, a little less if ETH goes up unexpectedly fast, and the same if ETH goes down.
Depositing in Neuron Pool = delegating the need to buy, sell and re-roll derivatives every week. Just watch your assets grow.
In Neuron option strategies, assets simultaneously earn yield in money markets (Curve, Convex, Aave, etc.), so the user gets additional yield: from liquidity providing and from options strategy.
Yes. Your 3crv+FRAX liquidity deposit can be used in some pools, Put Selling for example. Your APY will be the sum of Convex 3crv+FRAX APY and Put Selling strategy return; with NEUR rewards above that. Just choose 3crv+FRAX Curve» as liquidity pool on strategy’s page.
Deposit in any strategy, get Pool token in return (think of it as an LP token) and stake it on «Staking Page».
Some project donate their tokens to incentivise deposits in pools on respective derivatives. For example, Uniswap DAO can decide to add UNI rewards for deposits in UNI Covered Call pool on Neuron. UNI tokens will be distributed as rewards to depositors proportional to their share and time in that option pool.
Yes, Neuron is DAO-owned from the first day. The community owns more than half of total NEUR supply.
We do have such plans and will definitely keep everyone updated 🚀
