Background:

There has been a lot of ongoing conversation over the past month about the Asset Management arm of Unslashed and how it can continue to bring additional yield to Unslashed Capital suppliers. This is a summary of the ongoing conversations and next steps to deploy additional capital and earn more yield on those assets.

Earning Yield on Unslashed:

For anyone looking for a quick refresher on how yield is earned on Unslashed, there are 3 sources of APY:

  1. Asset management: This is what we are discussing here.
  2. USF rewards: These have been distributed to different stakeholders since the start of the private launch and include liquidity providers, capital suppliers, cover buyers, etc.
  3. Premiums from selling insurance: This is earned by capital suppliers as we sell cover.

We will continue to grow #1 and #3 above and ultimately the issuance rate of USF capital mining rewards would decrease, but as or right now, all three of these components contribute to earned yield.

List of Discussed Strategies

We need to keep a low risk profile for deployed capital funds, but also want to diversify the strategies where the capital is deployed. This is list of strategies that have been discussed so far. Please add other ideas that you may have.

In addition to the strategies used, there has been discussion on utilizing yield from asset management to buyback USF to distribute to capital suppliers:
