FAQs
How are yields generated?
Yields are generated through sales of options contracts that are generated via the protocol.
Unlike many other vaults, PsyFinance produces sustainable yields through option strategies.
How are Strike Prices Selected?
PsyFinance uses a backtested model to select strike prices such that roughly ~95% of options expire out of the money. Currently for BTC, that model correlates to roughly 15% off spot for weekly expiries. In Delta terms, .03-.07.
I made a deposit into a PsyFinance Vault but it still says pending, why is that?
V1 Vault deposits in the middle of the Epoch will generate a deposit receipt and remain pending until the start of the next Epoch, currently weekly at 800 UTC. Your funds will automatically start earning yield upon the start of the next Epoch, at which point they will no longer be listed as pending.
After the next Epoch starts, you may exchange your deposit receipt for vault tokens. As mentioned above, don't worry your funds will already be earning yield regardless of swapping your deposit receipts for vault tokens.
I made a withdrawal from a PsyFinance Vault but it hasn't entered my wallet, why is that?
For V1 vaults, If withdrawing during an Epoch, your withdrawal will generate a withdraw receipt and show under “Pending Withdrawals”. Since your funds are being used to generate options, they cannot be withdrawn until after the current set of options expire after the current Epoch is over.
You can exchange the Withdrawal Receipt for your deposit + yield anytime after the epoch you requested your withdrawal is over. Currently each epoch ends at Friday 800 UTC weekly.
Are there any Vault Fees?
PsyFinance does not charge any fees on its V1 vaults.
Will there be a token?
At the moment there is no PsyFinance token, however there is an exchange listed PsyOptions token $PSY.
