Liquidity Intent Classes

The protocol recognises two distinct LP motivations, each mapped to a Liquidity Intent Class that determines deposit routing, fee accrual, yield exposure, and kToken variant.

1. Class A — FX-Only Liquidity

Profile: Stablecoin issuers (e.g., IDRX, MYRC issuers), institutional partners, and any LP who opts out of yield participation.

Motivation: These LPs earn yield on their fiat deposits already. They provide stablecoin liquidity purely for FX utility and want zero exposure to DeFi yield strategy risk.

  • Deposit Routing: 100% to Reserve Pool. Never touches Yield Pool.
  • kToken Variant: kXXX-fx (e.g., kIDR-fx, kUSD-fx). Separate rebasing index from Class B.
  • Fee Accrual: Earns from FX swap fees only. Fee tier is configurable per partner (admin-set), not the standard 30% LP share. Yield profits never flow into this index.
  • Risk Exposure: Zero yield strategy risk. Only exposed to protocol operational risk (smart contract, oracle) and FX execution risk.

2. Class B — Full Participation Liquidity

Profile: Retail LPs, yield-seeking funds, DeFi-native depositors.

Motivation: Maximise returns by earning both FX swap fees and yield from deployed strategies.

  • Deposit Routing: Split between Reserve Pool and Yield Pool per admin-configured ratio (default 50/50 at launch).
  • kToken Variant: kXXX-full (e.g., kIDR-full, kUSD-full). Separate rebasing index from Class A.
  • Fee Accrual: Earns from FX swap fees (standard 30% LP share, pro-rata by TVL) plus yield profits from Yield Pool strategies.
  • Risk Exposure: Full exposure — yield strategy risk, impermanent loss from strategy deployments, plus protocol operational risk.
