Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) Architecture

RAIFI implements advanced POL strategies that address fundamental flaws in DeFi 1.0 "mercenary capital" models where liquidity providers exit when incentives decline.

POL Advantages

Through bonding mechanisms, RAIFI permanently acquires LP tokens rather than renting liquidity. This creates:

  • Permanent Liquidity Base: Unaffected by external incentive changes

  • Reduced Price Slippage: Stable liquidity improves trading conditions

  • Fee Revenue Generation: LP fees flow to Treasury rather than external providers

  • Enhanced Market Stability: Prevents liquidity crises during market stress

Bonding Mechanism Details

The bonding process enables users to sell assets directly to the Treasury at market rates while receiving RAI at discounts to current market prices. Vesting schedules prevent immediate market dumping while Treasury accumulates valuable backing assets.

Bond discount rates adjust dynamically based on Treasury needs and market conditions, with AI algorithms optimizing pricing to attract sufficient bonding activity while maintaining favorable terms for the protocol.
