Trenches Overview
Understanding the trench system and choosing the right one for your strategy
Trenches Overview
> Trenches are campaign pools where you deploy capital to target yield.
> Choose from three distinct options based on your risk tolerance, time horizon, and return goals.
Not Financial Advice
All yield targets are estimates, not guarantees. Returns depend on market conditions and token performance. Only deploy capital you can afford to lose.
What is a Trench?
A trench is a curated capital pool with:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Fixed Duration | Commitment period before withdrawal (1 day to 30 days) |
| Targeted ROI | Target return multiplier (1.5× typical) |
| Reserve Composition | Mix of tokens backing the pool |
| Stability Buffer | 10% reserve for platform stability |

How Trenches Work
The Lifecycle
1. Deposit Phase → Users spray capital
2. Commitment Period → Capital is deployed
3. Appreciation → Reserve grows from token buys
4. Maturity → Position becomes withdrawable
5. Payout → Receive principal + yieldReserve Mechanics
When you spray into a trench:
1. 90% of your deposit buys featured tokens
2. 10% goes to stability buffer
3. Buying pressure increases token prices
4. Reserve value appreciates over time
5. Yield comes from token appreciation
