# Know Your Customer (KYC)

A guide into passing the Know-Your-Customer (KYC) procedure in Falcon Falcon: requirements & verification to be able to make deposits or transactions.

Prior to depositing, individual users will be required to undergo KYC (Know Your Customer) processes respectively. These are regulatory processes intended to verify the identity of Falcon's users, ensuring adherence to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and maintaining secure and compliant transaction practices.

### KYC Process

New users to Falcon may initiate this process by starting a [deposit](https://app.falcon.finance/transfer/deposit), [withdrawal](https://app.falcon.finance/transfer/withdraw), [mint](https://app.falcon.finance/swap/mint) or [redeem](https://app.falcon.finance/swap/redeem) action, at which a prompt for the user to choose their account type will appear.\
Users select 'Individual' and click the 'Get my KYC/KYB link'. They will then receive a unique QR code and link to proceed.

Throughout the process, users will be required to provide a range of personal information and data. These include:

* Country of Residence
* Email
* Telegram Handle
* Identity Document&#x20;
  * Supported document types vary across different issuing countries

<div><figure><img src="/files/GjOW1jVaAmtQBnrx2nwZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/dxVWAUP1vq8HE5dVnT2n" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* Proof of Address
  * Documents submitted must clearly state users' full legal names, residential address, and be no older than 3 months
  * Examples include:
    * Bank statements
    * Telecom/Utility/Tax bills
    * Voter registration documents
    * Lease agreements
    * Official government-issued letters
* Employment Status
* Source of Funds
* Political Exposure

The entire KYC verification review process ranges from a few minutes to 5 business days. Do note that verification times may increase during periods of high market demand or increased verification volumes.

In the case where users' applications have been rejected, they may be required to resubmit specific documents or provide additional information. Users are encouraged to review feedback provided carefully and proceed as instructed.

However, if submissions still do not meet Falcon's regulatory requirements, rejection decisions will be final. If users have any subsequent questions or require assistance, they can reach out at <support@falcon.finance>.&#x20;


# Falcon Miles

Learn about Falcon Miles, a massive program for rewarding users that perform activities: mint, stake, restake, trade & provide liquidity in DeFi.

**Falcon Miles Pilot Season** is focused on incentivizing core activities on the Falcon app and DeFi liquidity activities. Users can earn Miles by performing eligible actions such as minting USDf, staking, restaking, contributing liquidity, or trading on DeFi pools.&#x20;

### How it Works

Falcon Miles operates on a multiplier-based system. For each eligible activity you perform, points are awarded based on the USD value of the activity, either the USDf minted or the total value locked (TVL) of the collateral.

**Example 1: Minting USDf via the Classic Mint with Non-stablecoins**\
If you mint USDf worth 10,000 and the multiplier for this action is 8x, you will receive 80,000 Miles.

**Example 2: Holding USDf for a day.** \
If you hold $10,000 worth of USDf in your wallet for one day and the daily holding multiplier is 6x, you will earn 60,000 Miles.

> **Note:** The "Daily Earned Miles" displayed on your dashboard reflect the Miles earned from **the previous day’s activities**.

***Disclaimer: Any attempt to abuse the program will result in removal of points or disqualification, to ensure fair distribution to the Falcon community.***

### Earning Miles&#x20;

There are several ways to earn Miles during this Pilot Season:

1. **Mint, Stake, Hold**&#x20;
   1. You can mint USDf through either Classic or Innovative Mint, with rewards varying based on the type of collateral supplied. Once minted, holding USDf in your wallet earns you Miles passively over time. You can also stake your USDf to receive sUSDf, or go further by restaking sUSDf into Boosted Yield vaults for even higher long-term returns. The longer you hold or commit, the more you earn.
2. **DeFi Liquidity**
   1. Beyond the Falcon app, you can earn Miles by contributing USDf liquidity to supported decentralized exchanges, such as Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, PancakeSwap, and Bunni.
      1. Retroactive rewards will be issued to early liquidity providers, recognizing those who helped seed the protocol from the start.
   2. Trading activity on supported DEXes are now eligible for Miles. You’ll earn daily rewards based on the total volume you trade.
3. **Money Markets**
   1. Supported protocols: Morpho, Euler
   2. Falcon Finance records the USD value of every supplied balance each day.
      1. USDf / sUSDf positions are counted at dollar value.
      2. USDC positions are adjusted by the vault’s Falcon-collateral share before valuation.
   3. Miles earned from today’s snapshot are credited to dashboards on the following day.
4. **Yield Tokenization**
   1. Supported protocols: Pendle, Spectra, Napier
   2. Falcon records the USD value of every supplied balance each day.
      1. For LP positions Falcon measures the SY component, the single-sided USD value underpinning each LP token.
      2. For YT holdings, Falcon takes into account the amount of YT tokens held.
5. **Referrals**
   1. Through our referral program:
      1. Earn up to 10% of the Miles your referee earns.
      2. Set your own kickback: give as much (or as little) back as you like.

         Please note:

         * Referrer: You’ll only earn Miles if the person you invite connects their wallet to Falcon app for the first time using your referral link.
         * Referee: To receive your referral bonus, you must have never connected to Falcon app before, and you must use a referral link on your first connection.

         You can find and customize your referral link on the [Miles page](https://app.falcon.finance/miles).

### What Counts as a "Yap"?&#x20;

Begin by linking your X account to your [Falcon wallet ](https://app.falcon.finance/yap2fly)so Kaito can track the reach and impact of your posts. A strong yap delivers clear, original insight: walkthrough threads that demonstrate how to mint USDf, data-backed comparisons with other stablecoins, or concise tutorials guiding new users through staking or partaking in USDf DeFi ecosystem.\
Consistency is just as important as quality, because regular thoughtful updates mark you as a trustworthy voice in the ecosystem. Enhance your explanations with visuals like charts, short screen recordings, or annotated screenshots to make complex ideas easy to grasp and to invite deeper conversation.\
Let your own style shine, highlighting both the “how” and the “why” behind Falcon Finance’s mechanism. Authentic commentary that educates and inspires earns higher Mindshare, which in turn lifts your position on the leaderboard.

# FF Token

The FF token will serve as the governance token of Falcon Finance and the foundation of the protocol’s decision-making and incentive framework. Through this mechanism, token holders will play an active role in shaping Falcon Finance’s ecosystem and long-term growth trajectory.

In addition to governance, staking or holding FF will unlock favorable economic terms within the protocol, including boosted APY on USDf staking, reduced overcollaterization ratios when minting, and discounted swap fees. These benefits are designed to enhance capital efficiency while encouraging both active participation and long-term alignment with the ecosystem.

A portion of the total FF supply will also be allocated to community incentives, with eligibility determined by user engagement across the Falcon ecosystem. Activities such as minting, staking, and participation in DeFi protocols and applications will contribute to reward qualification, ensuring a structured rollout of FF distribution that supports sustainable growth.

Finally, holding FF will provide privileged access to upcoming products and features, including early entry into new delta-neutral yield vaults and structured minting pathways. By combining governance rights, economic benefits, community rewards, and exclusive access, the FF token is positioned to become a central driver of value and participation within the Falcon Finance ecosystem.


# FF Token Claim Registration

Falcon Finance is opening registration for the upcoming $FF governance token. To participate, users must register their wallet addresses through the [Falcon Claim Page](https://app.falcon.finance/claims). Registration ensures that wallets are validated and eligible to receive tokens.

### Registration Deadline&#x20;

The registration period closes on **28th September, 23:59:59 UTC**. Only wallets registered before the deadline will be eligible to claim $FF tokens. Unregistered wallets will not be able to participate, so registering is a mandatory step to secure your claim.

### Claim Options

Once registered, you can decide how you would like to receive $FF tokens:

1. **Claim on Separate Wallets**
   1. Falcon Finance links wallet addresses based on X (Twitter) account connection. This means that if you have multiple wallet addresses connected to the same X (Twitter) account on Falcon App, the registration for these wallet addresses are linked and you have the choice to receive $FF tokens to each wallet.&#x20;
   2. Each registered wallet receives its share of tokens individually.&#x20;
   3. For example, you have Wallet A, B and C connected to @MyXAccount and you have registered Wallet A for separate wallet claims, your Wallet B and Wallet C will be automatically registered and each wallet A, B, and C will receive its token share during the claiming period.&#x20;
   4. If you only have one wallet address, this claim option will be the default selection.&#x20;
2. **Combined Claim to One Wallet**
   1. Falcon Finance links wallet addresses based on X account connection. This means that if you have multiple wallet addresses connected to the same X account on Falcon App, the registration for these wallet addresses are linked and you have the choice to receive all $FF token shares consolidated to one single wallet.&#x20;
   2. Tokens across all wallets linked to the same X account are merged and distributed to a single wallet of your choice.&#x20;
   3. For example, you have Wallet A, B and C connected to @MyXAccount and you have registered Wallet A for combined wallet claims, your Wallet B and Wallet C will be automatically registered and all of your eligible $FF claims will be consolidated and claimable through your selected wallet.&#x20;

### Linking Wallets to Your X Account

On the Falcon App, users may connect their wallet addresses to their X account on [Yap2Fly page](https://app.falcon.finance/yap2fly) or [Miles Leaderboard page](https://app.falcon.finance/miles?tab=leaderboard). If multiple wallets are linked under the same X account and at least one wallet is registered, all wallets connected to that X account will be auto-registered.

Connecting your X account is optional, but it provides key benefits:

* Required for users participating in the [Yap2Fly Board](https://app.falcon.finance/yap2fly), where X Kaito mindshare is factored into eligibility.
* Combine token claim registrations across multiple wallets under one X account.

### Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)&#x20;

### Claims App Guide

The Falcon App provides a simple, step-by-step process:

**Step 1 & 2 - Locked Registration Choices**&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/WFRnGwzac27QwfhBUKbC" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 3 – Allocation & Claims**

The section shows which categories you qualify for:

* Falcon Miles: You must select your vesting option before proceeding.
  * Option 1:
    * 30% unlocked at TGE.
    * Remaining 70% subject to 1-month cliff, then 6-months vesting.
  * Option 2:
    * 50% unlocked at TGE.
      * Remaining 50% forfeited (higher upfront access).
* Kaito Stakers
  * 40% unlocked at TGE; future unlocks tied to Falcon Badge tiers.
  * Remaining 60% unlocks gradually:
    1. 20% unlocks on 10 October – Claimable once you collect 3 Bronze Badges.
    2. 20% unlocks on 10 November – Claimable once you collect 3 Bronze + 4 Silver Badges.
    3. 20% unlocks on 10 December – Claimable once you collect 3 Bronze + 4 Silver + 4 Gold/Diamond/Legendary Badges.
* Yap2Fly (Top 200)&#x20;

  * 40% unlocked at TGE; future unlocks tied to Falcon Badge tiers.
  * Remaining 60% unlocks gradually:

    1. 20% unlocks on 10 October – Claimable once you collect 3 Bronze Badges.
    2. 20% unlocks on 10 November – Claimable once you collect 3 Bronze + 4 Silver Badges.
    3. 20% unlocks on 10 December – Claimable once you collect 3 Bronze + 4 Silver + 4 Gold/Diamond/Legendary Badges.

    Important Notes for Kaito Stakers and Yap2Fly Top 200 Rankers:

    — Unlocks are capped at 20% per date, even if you’ve already met all badge requirements before the first claim date.\
    — You can progressively unlock higher tiers over time. For example, if you don’t meet the Bronze badge requirement by October 10, but do so by November 10, you can start claiming from that point onward.

  Only Kaito Stakers and Yap2Fly Leaderboard users can claim their allocations in this step.

  * For Kaito Stakers and Yap2Fly: Click the “Claim” button next to each eligible category in Step 3.
  * For Falcon Miles: You will not see a Claim button in Step 3. Please proceed to Step 4 to claim your Falcon Miles allocation.

**Step 4 – Falcon Miles Claim & Stake**

This section shows Falcon Miles token claims that can be claimed and staked in a single transaction. Claims from Kaito staking and the Yap2Fly category must be claimed separately (Refer to step 3) and cannot be staked during the claim process.

The amount shown in Step 4 will only be allotted from the Falcon Miles category, which is the total amount of unlocked $FF tokens based on your vesting options

<figure><img src="/files/I8bdCd4EJINyYUdawd3F" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* In this step, you will decide how to split your unlocked $FF tokens between:
  * Staking FF for sFF (to earn APY and Falcon Miles multipliers).
  * Claiming FF directly to your onchain wallet.&#x20;

### Staking FF for Boosted Miles&#x20;

Staking your FF tokens for sFF during the claims process not only secures yield but also unlocks boosted Falcon Miles multipliers for [Season 2](https://app.falcon.finance/miles). These multipliers are designed to reward early participation and higher commitment.

Falcon Miles Multipliers&#x20;

* 160× Miles: For the first 7 days starting from TGE day (29 September 2025), users who hold sFF will earn 160 Miles for every 1 Mile normally earned.
* 80× Miles: After the 7th day (from 6 October 2025 onward), the multiplier adjusts to 80× for the remainder of Season 2.

This means the earlier you stake, the higher the multiplier you enjoy during TGE week.

Boosted Miles from Immediate Claim & Stake

In addition to the classic multipliers, users who claim and stake directly from the Claims page in a single transaction can unlock extra boosts on their entire Season 2 Miles. These boosts apply to all Miles you accumulate during the season, across all activities.

* Stake 50–79% of unlocked allocation → 1.1× Boost
  * Example: If you earn 10,000 Miles in Season 2, your boosted total becomes 11,000 Miles.
* Stake 80–100% of unlocked allocation → 1.25× Boost
  * Example: If you earn 10,000 Miles in Season 2, your boosted total becomes 12,500 Miles.

Important:

* The boost only applies if staking is completed as part of the claim transaction (Claim & Stake together).
* Staking later (after claiming) will not qualify for the boost.

# Staking Mechanics

#### How sFF Works

When you stake FF tokens, you receive sFF in return at a 1:1 ratio. Your sFF represents your staked position and accrues value over time through yield distribution.

The staking mechanism operates as follows:

1. **Stake FF**: stake $FF through the protocol via <https://app.falcon.finance/earn/classic>
2. **Receive sFF**: Mint sFF tokens representing your staked position
3. **Accrue Yield**: Earn yield distributed in $FF based on protocol performance
4. **Earn Miles**: Accumulate Falcon Miles with boosted multipliers
5. **Unstake Anytime**: Convert sFF back to FF. Please do note that a 3 day cooldown period applies for users wishing to unstake.

#### Unstaking Process

sFF features **unstaking** with a &#x33;**-day cooldown period**. This means:

* You can initiate the conversion from sFF to FF at any time. Once initiated, your FF becomes claimable after a 3-day cooldown period. During this cooldown, your tokens do not accrue yield.
* Unstaking does not affect any yield you've already earned
* Unstaking is processed immediately upon transaction confirmation


# Falcon Miles Multipliers

Staking FF to receive sFF provides significant boosts to your Falcon Miles accumulation. Miles multipliers vary based on timing, staking amount, and participation method.

#### Multiplier Structure

| Activity              | Multiplier | Notes                                                                       |
| --------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Classic Yield sFF** | 80x        | for sFF staked via [Classic Yield](https://app.falcon.finance/earn/classic) |

#### Claim Staking Bonuses

For users claiming FF tokens from the TGE distribution, additional bonuses apply when staking during the claims process:

| Staking Amount             | Bonus Multiplier  | Example                     |
| -------------------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------- |
| Stake ≥50% of claimable FF | 1.10x (10% boost) | 10,000 Miles → 11,000 Miles |
| Stake ≥80% of claimable FF | 1.25x (25% boost) | 10,000 Miles → 12,500 Miles |

| Activity                       | Multiplier | Notes                                          |
| ------------------------------ | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **sFF Holding (First 7 Days)** | 160x       | Applicable to first 7 days after initial stake |
| **sFF Holding (Ongoing)**      | 80x        | Standard multiplier after initial 7-day period |

> **Important**: These bonuses require staking to be executed as part of the claims transaction. The claim and stake must occur together in a single transaction. Any staking performed separately after the claim will not qualify for these bonus multipliers.

Miles earned through sFF staking contribute to your overall Falcon Miles balance and count toward Season 2 rewards&#x20;

# Perryverse NFT

A comprehensive guide to the Perryverse NFT collection: Perry Eggs, hatching mechanics, rarity tiers, trait-based Miles multipliers, and how to maximize your rewards.

## Overview

Perryverse is Falcon Finance's official NFT collection, featuring Perry — the iconic falcon mascot of the Falcon ecosystem. The collection integrates directly with Falcon Miles, offering holders boosted multipliers based on their Perry's traits and rarity.

#### Collection Details

| Attribute           | Details                                                                                                                                                                            |

> ⚠️ **Security Reminder**: Falcon Finance will never ask you to send funds directly to these contract addresses. Be cautious of similar-looking addresses or fake collections that may be fraudulent. Only interact with the official Perryverse collection on OpenSea and always verify contract addresses before any transaction.


# Perry Egg Hatching Mechanism

When you mint or acquire a Perryverse NFT, you initially receive a Perry Egg. To reveal your Perry and unlock trait-based Miles multipliers, you must hatch your egg through a burn-to-reveal mechanism.

#### How Hatching Works

1. **Hold a Perry Egg**: Acquire a Perry Egg NFT through minting or secondary market purchase
2. **Initiate Hatching**: Access the hatching interface on the [Falcon App](https://app.falcon.finance/perryverse)
3. **Burn the Egg**: Confirm the transaction to burn your Perry Egg NFT
4. **Receive Your Perry**: A new Perry NFT is minted to your wallet with randomized traits
5. **Unlock Multipliers**: Your Perry's traits now qualify for rotating Miles multipliers

#### Important Notes

* **Burning is irreversible**: Once you hatch your Perry Egg, the egg NFT is permanently destroyed
* **Traits are randomized**: The traits your Perry receives are determined at the moment of hatching
* **Rarity is fixed**: Your Perry's rarity tier is set upon hatching and cannot be changed
* **Immediate utility**: Your Perry immediately begins qualifying for trait-based Miles multipliers after hatching, contingent on your NFT possessing traits that qualify for boosted miles.


# Rarity Tiers

Each Perry NFT belongs to one of six rarity tiers, determined at the moment of hatching. Rarity is based on the combination of traits your Perry receives.

#### Rarity Distribution

| Rarity Tier   | Description                                       |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Common**    | The most frequently occurring trait combinations  |
| **Uncommon**  | Slightly rarer trait combinations                 |
| **Rare**      | Notable trait combinations with distinct features |
| **Epic**      | Highly sought-after trait combinations            |
| **Legendary** | Exceptionally rare trait combinations             |
| **Mythic**    | 1:1 unique Perrys - the rarest in the collection. |

#### Rarity Indicators

Your Perry's rarity is determined by the specific combination of traits it possesses. Mythic Perrys are completely unique 1:1 pieces, meaning no other Perry in the collection shares their exact appearance.


# Falcon Miles Multipliers

Perryverse NFTs integrate directly with Falcon Miles, providing holders with boosted multipliers based on their Perry's traits. The multiplier system operates on a **rotating schedule**, rewarding different traits at different times.

Each Perry comes with multiple traits. Six are selected per rotation for **1.1x–1.5x** Miles boosts.

#### How Trait Multipliers Work

* **Trait Categories**: Each Perry has multiple trait categories (e.g., Eyewear, Background, Clothing, etc.)
* **Specific Traits**: Within each category, your Perry has a specific trait (e.g., Eyewear → Sunglasses)
* **Rotating Boosts**: Every **3 weeks**, the boosted traits rotate to reward different trait combinations
* **Stacking Multipliers**: If your Perry has multiple boosted traits during a rotation, the multipliers stack

### Rotation Schedule

| Cycle           | Duration       | How It Works                                             |
| --------------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Rotation Period | 3 weeks        | Boosted traits change every 3 weeks                      |
| Announcement    | Start of Cycle | Boosted traits announced via official channels.          |
| Application     | Immediate      | Multipliers apply automatically to qualifying Perry NFTs |

Note: While trait multipliers become active immediately on rotation day, your boosted Miles balance will only reflect the increase one day later. Falcon Miles uses end-of-day data snapshots for calculations, so there is a 24-hour delay between when multipliers take effect and when boosted Miles appear in your account

#### Example

If the current rotation boosts:

* **Eyewear → Sunglasses**: Your Perry with Sunglasses earns bonus Miles
* **Background → Cosmic**: Your Perry with Cosmic background earns bonus Miles
* **Both traits**: Your Perry with both Sunglasses AND Cosmic background earns stacked bonuses

#### Maximum Daily Miles

> &#x20;**Daily Cap**: The maximum possible Miles that can be earned from boosted traits is **20,000,000 (20M) Miles per day**.

This cap applies to trait-based multipliers from Perryverse NFTs. Plan your holdings accordingly to maximize your Miles accumulation within this daily limit.


# User Deposit Process

Overview of how user deposits are stored and used in Falcon Finance: custodians, routing into CEXs, liquidity pools, and staking venues & more.

The diagram below provides an overview of how users' deposits into Falcon are stored and utilized.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/KJylRhbwVyGmehhGU97c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

There are several key parties that users should be aware of:

<table><thead><tr><th width="212">Party</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Users</td><td>This refers to anyone who utilizes Falcon's range of features, such as depositing/withdrawing, minting/redeeming, staking/unstaking, and restaking/claiming.</td></tr><tr><td>Custodians / <br>OES Providers</td><td>This refers to third-party custodial solutions that Falcon employs to store and secure users' deposits. These include Ceffu (MirrorX), and Fireblocks (CVA).</td></tr><tr><td>Centralized Exchanges (CEXs)</td><td>These refer to the various centralized exchanges that Falcon employs yield generating strategies like price arbitrage on. These include Binance, and Bybit.</td></tr><tr><td>Liquidity Pools</td><td>These refer to the various venues that Falcon utilizes users' collateral to provide liquidity in exchange for yield.</td></tr><tr><td>Staking Pools</td><td>These refer to the various venues that Falcon stakes users' collateral to secure various networks in exchange for yield.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### General Flow of User Deposits

1. Users deposit collateral assets into Falcon - these can range from stablecoins to non-stablecoin assets. USDf is minted in return.
2. All user deposits are routed to third-party custodians where multi-signature (multi-sig) or multi-party computation (MPC) processes are in place to ensure that assets are stored in a secure manner.
   1. These processes require multiple approvals from separate, authorized signers before any withdrawal can occur. Consequently, there is no single individual or entity that can unilaterally remove or re-route assets.
   2. Falcon does not directly control or hold user-deposited assets in a way that would allow a single party to misappropriate them.
3. Falcon utilizes off-exchange settlement mechanisms that allow for "mirroring" of assets within the custodian accounts onto CEXs, where various strategies are deployed and trades are placed.
4. Falcon deploys a portion of assets into tier-1 on-chain liquidity pools to generate yield through on-chain dex activity and arbitrage.
5. Falcon stakes certain assets on-chain for chains with native staking capabilities to generate additional yield on spot holdings.


# USDf (Synthetic Dollar)

A quick description of the USDf token: why this synthetic dollar is overcollateralized & what utility it has in Falcon Finance.

USDf is Falcon Finance’s overcollateralized synthetic dollar, minted when users deposit eligible collateral assets, including stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC, DAI) and non-stablecoin assets (e.g.,BTC, ETH, and [select altcoins](/supported-assets)). The overcollateralization framework is designed to ensure that the value of the collateral consistently exceeds the value of the USDf issued, preserving its stability across varying market conditions.

Collateral deposited to mint USDf is managed through neutral market strategies, maintaining full asset backing while minimizing the impact of directional price movements. This approach reinforces the strength and reliability of USDf as an overcollateralized synthetic dollar.


# USDf Minting Mechanisms

A quick guide into minting mechanisms in Falcon Finance: getting USDf tokens with Classic Mint vs. Innovative Mint.

Falcon offers multiple pathways for users to mint USDf, providing flexibility based on individual asset holdings and strategic preferences.

Users can choose between two minting options: the [Classic Mint ](/mechanism/usdf-synthetic-dollar/usdf-minting-mechanisms/classic-mint)and the [Innovative Mint](/mechanism/usdf-synthetic-dollar/usdf-minting-mechanisms/innovative-mint).

Through the Classic Mint, users can mint USDf by depositing supported stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, or by using non-stablecoin assets such as ETH, BTC, or select altcoins. When minting with stablecoins, users receive USDf at a 1:1 ratio (subjected to prevailing market rates). For non-stablecoin deposits, an overcollateralization ratio is applied to ensure that the value of the collateral remains higher than the value of the USDf minted. The implementation of an OCR helps to mitigate the impact of market slippage and inefficiencies, ensuring that each USDf minted by all non-stablecoin deposits is fully backed by collateral of equal or greater value.

The Innovative Mint offers an alternative method for users seeking to mint USDf with non-stablecoin assets. Under this mechanism, users commit their collateral for a fixed term, enabling access to liquidity while maintaining defined participation in potential price appreciation. The amount of USDf minted is conservatively determined relative to the value of the collateral, based on parameters such as tenure, strike price multipliers, and capital efficiency levels, ensuring continuous overcollateralization. Collateral deposited to mint USDf is managed through neutral market strategies that minimize sensitivity to market movements, while preserving full asset backing. In periods of significant market volatility, the protocol implements appropriate liquidation procedures to ensure the integrity of the collateral backing.

Maintaining overcollateralization is fundamental to Falcon’s design. It ensures that every USDf minted is backed by collateral exceeding one dollar in value, reinforcing the security and stability of the synthetic dollar system.


# Classic Mint

Description of the Classic Mint process in Falcon Finance for minting USDf with stablecoin or non-stablecoin collateral.

***Disclaimer: The minimum amount required to initiate an Classic Mint is USD$10,000 worth of eligible stablecoin and non-stablecoin collateral. Users should contact <support@falcon.finance> for more information or assistance with the process.***

<figure><img src="/files/9nJulQyDK6xroclf8sI2" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Stablecoins vs Non-Stablecoin Assets**\
Users minting USDf with stablecoins will do so at a 1:1 ratio, while users minting with non-stablecoin assets will be subject to an overcollateralization ratio (OCR). As indicated in the previous section, OCRs will vary based on the non-stablecoin asset's risk profile.

Refer to the [App Guide](/resources/quick-app-guide) for further details on different deposit processes.

**Express Mint**\
An Express Mint is an extra feature provided for users using the Classic Mint mechanism. It offers users two additional options in the process of minting their USDf. Compared to a regular mint where users simply receive the amount of USDf minted, and are required to proceed with further processes like staking and restaking manually, Express Mint users are able to bypass these automatically.

* Option 1: Mint & Stake
  * This option automatically stakes users' USDf after it is minted, directly returning users sUSDf instead of USDf at the end of the process.
* Option 2: Mint, Stake, & Restake
  * This option requires users to pick between available fixed-term tenures, automatically staking their' USDf after it is minted, then restaking the returned sUSDf into the chosen vaults.
  * Users will receive an ERC-721 NFT representing their locked position instead of USDf or sUSDf at the end of the process

Refer to the [sUSDf](/earn/susdf-yield-bearing-token) and [Restaking](/earn/restaking-susdf) sections for further details on staking and restaking respectively.


# Innovative Mint

Innovative Mint mechanism Falcon Finance: how it enables users to profit from price appreciation & what happens at the end of the tenure.

***Disclaimer: The minimum amount required to initiate an Innovative Mint is USD$50,000 worth of eligible non-stablecoin collateral. Users should contact <support@falcon.finance> for more information or assistance with the process.***

The Innovative Mint allows users to mint USDf by depositing non-stablecoin assets while maintaining limited exposure to potential price appreciation. Collateral is locked for a fixed term ranging from 3 to 12 months. At the time of minting, the users will have to set the following key parameters: tenure, capital efficiency level, the strike price multiplier. These parameter will determine the initial amount of USDf minted, the liquidation price, and the strike price.

The user's collateral is monitored throughout the lock-up period. Depending on price movements during or at the end of the term, there are three possible outcomes:

**1. If the collateral price drops below the liquidation price at any time during the term:**\
The collateral is liquidated to protect the protocol’s collateral backing. In this case, the user does not retain any claim to the original collateral. However, the user continues to hold the USDf that was minted at the start, which can be redeemed for supported stablecoins such as USDT or USDC.

**2. If the collateral price remains between the liquidation price and the strike price by the end of the term:**\
The user may reclaim the full collateral asset by returning the USDf originally minted. This allows the user to regain their asset while still having accessed to USDf liquidity during the term.

Users will be given 72 hours window from the maturity date to reclaim their collateral.&#x20;

**3. If the collateral price rises and exceeds the strike price by the end of the term:**\
The collateral is exited. The user no longer retains any claim to the original asset. Instead, they receive an additional USDf payout, calculated as:&#x20;

$$
(Strike Price × Collateral Amount) − USDf Minted
$$

This additional USDf reflects the value of the collateral based on the agreed strike level, effectively capturing a predefined upside for the user in USDf terms.


# Overcollateralization Ratio

Read how Overcollateralization Ratio is implemented for non-stablecoin crypto collateral when minting USDf in Falcon Finance.

**Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR)**\
The implementation of an OCR helps to mitigate the impact of market slippage and inefficiencies, ensuring that each USDf minted by all non-stablecoin deposits is fully backed by collateral of equal or greater value. It indicates a user's total value of locked collateral relative to the amount of minted USDf.&#x20;

$$
\text{OCR} = \frac{\text{Initial Mark Price of Collateral} \times \text{Collateral Amount}}{\text{USDf Minted}}
$$

OCRs for each non-stablecoin collateral asset are dynamically calibrated based on the asset’s inherent market volatility, liquidity profile, market slippage and historical price behavior. This risk-adjusted approach ensures the protocol’s resilience against adverse price movements while optimizing capital efficiency for users.

Users should also note that the valuation of their collateral is directly tied to the prevailing market price and conditions at the time of collateral deposit. \
\&#xNAN;*Falcon does not guarantee the stability or value of any assets and accepts no liability for any discrepancies or losses arising from market volatility or external factors influencing asset prices.*

**Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR) Buffer**\
An OCR buffer is the portion of collateral retained by Falcon beyond the value of minted USDf. The buffer serves as a risk mitigation mechanism to safeguard the protocol against market fluctuations. The amount of collateral asset held as an OCR buffer is derived by:

$$
\text{OCR Buffer} = (\text{OCR} - 1) \times (\text{Collateral Amount})
$$

Reclaiming of the OCR buffer is based on market conditions at the time of claim.

* If the current market price ≤ initial mark price (of the collateral asset): Users will reclaim the full unit amount of the buffer
* If the current market price ≥ initial mark price: Users will reclaim the USD-equivalent value of the buffer based on the initial mark price


# USDf Peg Stability

The explanation of how USDf synthetic dollar’s peg is kept using delta-neutral hedging, overcollateralization, and cross-market arbitrage.

Falcon Finance maintains USDf’s peg stability through a combination of delta-neutral and market-neutral strategies. Collateral assets deposited to mint USDf are actively managed to neutralize directional exposure, minimizing the effects of individual asset price movements and broader market fluctuations. This ensures that fluctuations in the underlying collateral do not affect the value backing USDf.

In parallel, the protocol enforces strict overcollateralization requirements. By requiring that the value of deposited assets consistently exceeds the value of USDf minted, Falcon establishes a resilient buffer against volatility in non-stablecoin assets. This ensures that every USDf remains fully backed by assets of equal or greater value, reinforcing the strength of the peg stability.

Together, these mechanisms allow Falcon to maintain synthetic dollar stability, even during periods of significant market fluctuations.

### Cross-market Arbitrage

Falcon also utilizes arbitrage of USDf across both centralized and decentralized spot markets to maintain the peg of USDf. This opportunity is also available to users, who are able to mint or redeem to profit from the price differences of USDf.

* If USDf is above peg (> $1.00):
  * KYC-ed Users can mint USDf at peg via Falcon, and sell them on external markets where USDf is trading above peg value.
* If USDf is below peg (< $1.00):
  * KYC-ed Users can purchase USDf below peg on external markets and redeem them for $1.00 worth of collateral per token via Falcon.

This incentivizes all parties to actively take part in stablizing USDf at its rightful peg value across various markets.


# Redemptions

Redemptions in Falcon Finance: how it works & differs from unstaking. Classic redemptions for stablecoin collateral & claims for non-stablecoins.

Besides selling USDf on external markets, users looking to exit their USDf positions have the option of initiating redemptions on Falcon. Redemptions are split into two types - a classic redemption and a claim. This is based on the type of asset a user is receiving for his USDf, with both forms of redemptions being subject to a 7-day cooldown period. Users will only receive their assets after this period, in which their redemption requests are processed.

The cooldown period is implemented to ensure the health of Falcon and its reserves, providing a sufficient window of time for Falcon to withdraw users' assets from its active yield generation strategies.\
\&#xNAN;***This is not to be confused with unstaking, where users can unstake their sUSDf and receive USDf in return immediately.***

### Classic Redemptions (Stablecoins)

Classic redemptions involve users exchanging their existing USDf for one of Falcon's supported stablecoin options (e.g., USDC, USDT).&#x20;

Refer to the [Redeem](/resources/quick-app-guide/navigating-the-swap-tab/redeem) section for further details on redeeming USDf for stablecoins.

### Claims (Non-Stablecoins)

Claims, on the other hand, involve users exchanging their existing USDf for non-stablecoin positions that they previously locked to mint USDf.&#x20;

For users of [Classic Mint](/resources/quick-app-guide/navigating-the-swap-tab/classic-mint), this process enables users to recover the [overcollateralization buffer](/mechanism/usdf-synthetic-dollar/overcollateralization-ratio) applied during the initial minting. Upon claiming, users may choose to receive their assets in one of three formats: the original collateral asset, USDT, or a combination of both.

For users of [Innovative Mint](/mechanism/usdf-synthetic-dollar/usdf-minting-mechanisms/innovative-mint), claims can be made only after the tenure of collateral has matured.&#x20;

Once the tenure has matured, to reclaim the original non-stablecoin collateral, users must repay the amount of USDf initially minted. Full recovery of the collateral is possible only if the position was not liquidated or exited due to the asset price reaching the predefined strike level during the term. Users will have a 72 hour window to recover the full collateral from the tenure maturity date.

Refer to the [Claim](/resources/quick-app-guide/navigating-the-swap-tab/claim) section for further details on redeeming USDf for non-stablecoin assets.


# Collateral Acceptance & Risk Framework

Read how Falcon Finance considers new crypto as collateral for minting USDf, evaluating its liquidity, market depth & risk factors.

Falcon Finance maintains a data‑driven framework for selecting the **Supported Collaterals** that can be pledged to mint USDf. The objective is to safeguard USDf’s peg and ensure that all accepted assets exhibit sufficient market liquidity, price transparency, and risk‑adjusted resilience.

> These guidelines are reviewed periodically and may be updated in response to evolving market conditions or regulatory requirements.

### Eligibility Screening Workflow

<table><thead><tr><th width="40"></th><th width="141.91015625">Stage</th><th>Check </th><th width="395.6328125">Decision Logic</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>Primary Listing </td><td>Is the token listed on Binance Markets?</td><td><p>No → Reject</p><p>Yes → proceed to Stage 2</p></td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Market Availability </td><td>Is the token available in both Spot and Perpetual Futures on Binance?</td><td>Yes → Accept<br>Only Spot or Only Futures → proceed to Stage 3<br>Neither → Reject</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Cross‑Exchange Verification</td><td>Is the token listed on Top‑10 CEXs or leading DEXs with verifiable depth and non‑synthetic volume?</td><td>Yes → Accept<br>No → Reject</td></tr></tbody></table>

Tokens that pass all three stages are classified as eligible collateral and can be accepted on Falcon Finance.

### Quantitative Risk Assessment

Each token is scored across four market‑quality dimensions.&#x20;

## Composite Risk Grade&#x20;

* An asset is **Eligible** when **no factor is rated 🔴** and ≤ one factor is 🟡.
* Assets with two 🟡 scores are **Conditionally Eligible** and may receive a **higher overcollaterization ratio**.
* Any 🔴 score triggers **Rejection** or immediate review if already listed.

## Overcollaterization Ratio

Falcon applies dynamic overcollaterization ratios that reflect the composite risk grade and underlying asset volatility. Specific ratios are published on the [Falcon Finance Mint page](https://app.falcon.finance/swap/mint) and may change as market conditions evolve.


# Risk Management

Risk management is a cornerstone of Falcon’s commitment to users’ asset protection. Falcon\
employs a dual-layered approach combining automated systems and manual oversight to monitor\
and manage positions actively. This double monitoring layer ensures positions are carefully evaluated and adjusted in real-time to mitigate risk.&#x20;

During periods of heightened market volatility, Falcon leverages the expertise of its advanced trading infrastructure to unwind risk strategically. This capability ensures the preservation of the user’s assets while maintaining the stability and integrity of the collateral pool.


# Extreme Events & Market-Stress Management

Cryptocurrencies are among the most volatile assets which may demonstrate incredible\
price movements such as 500% growth within a day and 90% price drop within an hour.\
Bitcoin demonstrated such behavior earlier but with time it demonstrates less extreme\
behaviour while most altcoins still are known for this. For example, MANTA has collapsed by\
more than 90% within just an hour recently which triggered massive liquidations and losses.

### How Falcon Finance Manages Extreme Events&#x20;

Falcon Finance treats extreme events as a first-order risk and employs disciplined, multi-layered controls to minimize losses in both stressed and normal market conditions.

Falcon Finance employs delta neutral strategies to minimize directional exposure while capturing basis and funding opportunities. The approach is straightforward and follows clear execution rules:

* With stablecoins: Falcon purchases spot exposure in the target altcoin and stake it where appropriate, then open an offsetting short position in the corresponding perpetual sized to the marked spot exposure.
* With altcoins: Falcon sells the spot position to neutralize risk and open an offsetting long position in the corresponding perpetual when basis or funding conditions make the trade attractive. This often leads to large profits in case of large price differences between spot and perps\
  or/and in case of negative funding rates.

### Risk Controls for Extreme Market Conditions&#x20;

During extreme events involving rapid price increases, the risk of liquidation increases\
drastically. In order to avoid such scenarios, Falcon Finance performs the following:

1. Connect all strategies that trade spot and perpetuals into a single monitoring system that enforces near-zero net delta across the total position.
2. As soon as price exceeds a given threshold, the systems automatically sell spot and closes perpetuals positions.
3. Even when staking yields are highly profitable, we maintain at least 20% of spot holdings on exchanges and available for immediate sale, allowing us to liquidate a significant portion of the position without delay.
4. If an extreme event happens, Falcon removes spot coins from staking immediately or\
   when it’s possible. Falcon aim to negotiate zero lockup period for staking or any\
   other DeFi activities.
5. Falcon employs machine learning models that continuously analyze market data and flag potential extreme events ahead of broader market recognition, allowing for rapid intervention.
6. Falcon sets maximum altcoin position sizes so that the majority of any position can be unwound within a day.

During sharp declines in spot prices, Falcon prioritizes management of perpetual positions to ensure they can be closed or resized quickly and to prevent adverse funding from accumulating. Execution algorithms derived from high frequency trading practices enable rapid order placement and cancellation, allowing efficient exits even under stressed conditions.

In addition, depegging of other stablecoins is treated as a distinct scenario. Falcon’s risk monitoring system surfaces abnormal peg deviations early, ahead of broader market recognition. Depending on the configured risk posture, Falcon either exits exposure to the affected stablecoin with minimal realized loss, typically under a few basis points, before a full depeg develops, or maintains a hedged stance and waits for the peg to restore.


# sUSDf (Yield-Bearing Token)

Read how sUSDf works: yield-bearing token, minted when USDf is deposited & staked into Falcon’s ERC-4626 vaults, based on the sUSDf-to-USDf value.

sUSDf is the yield-bearing version of USDf, and the other half of Falcon's dual token system. Minted when USDf is deposited and staked into Falcon's ERC-4626 vaults, the amount of sUSDf received by users is calculated based on the prevailing sUSDf-to-USDf value.

$$
\text{Current sUSDf-to-USDf Value} = \frac{\text{Total USDf Staked} + \text{Total Rewards}}{\text{Total sUSDf Supply}}
$$

$$
\text{sUSDf Minted} = \frac{\text{USDf Staked}}{\text{Current sUSDf-to-USDf Value}}
$$

Following the above formulas, the sUSDf-to-USDf value at any point of time reflects the total supply of sUSDf relative to the total USDf staked and accumulated yield in USDf, and is a gauge for cumulative yield performance. As such, the value of sUSDf increases over time as Falcon accrues yield through strategies such as positive & negative funding rate spreads, and altcoin staking.&#x20;

### ERC-4626

[ERC-4626](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-4626/) is a standard for tokenized vaults on EVM-compatible blockchains, designed to enhance interoperability and composability within DeFi. By providing a standardized API, this standard also ensures the unification and optimized management of yield-bearing assets.

Falcon's sUSDf utilizes the ERC-4626 vault standard for its yield distribution mechanism. The standard is crucial in ensuring a transparent and efficient mechanism for distributing yield to users who stake their USDf, while streamlining the process. This also supports integration of sUSDf into various DeFi applications in the future, enhancing overall user experience and security.

Refer to the [Classic Yield](/resources/quick-app-guide/navigating-the-earn-tab/classic-yield) section for details on the USDf staking process.


# Restaking sUSDf

Read about restaking in Falcon Finance: fixed-term periods to earn enhanced yields represented by ERC-721 NFTs of locked positions.

In exchange for boosted yield, Falcon allows users to restake their sUSDf holdings for a fixed-term tenure. This lock-up period can be selected by users from a range of available options, including a 3-month tenure, a 6-month tenure, and others, with longer periods providing higher yields. These fixed periods without redemption allows Falcon to optimize for time-sensitive yield strategies, generating higher yields for users. Upon restaking, the protocol mints and issues a unique ERC-721 non-fungible token (NFT) to users, representing their locked position.

### ERC-721

[ERC-721](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-721/) is a standard non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on EVM-compatible blockchains. It provides a set of guidelines for creating unique digital assets that cannot be exchanged on a one-to-one basis due to their unique properties.

Falcon utilizes the ERC-721 NFT standard to record each user's unique restaked position, based on their staked sUSDf amount and selected fixed-term tenure. Viewable on Etherscan, each NFT will depict the details regarding users' unique locked positions.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/OUq0VlqigUOBaZm8KZ7Z" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<table><thead><tr><th width="212">Term</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Principal</td><td>Principal refers to the initial amount of sUSDf restaked by the user.</td></tr><tr><td>Rewards</td><td>Rewards refer to the amount of sUSDf accumulated as boosted yield.</td></tr><tr><td>Start Time</td><td>Start Time refers to the <a href="https://www.unixtimestamp.com/">Unix timestamp</a> of the user's time of restaking.</td></tr><tr><td>Duration</td><td>Duration refers to the total lock period selected by the user in seconds.</td></tr><tr><td>Maturity</td><td>Maturity refers to the <a href="https://www.unixtimestamp.com/">Unix timestamp</a> of the end of the lock period.</td></tr><tr><td>Status</td><td>Status reflects the current state of the user's locked position </td></tr></tbody></table>

At the end of their selected fixed-term tenures, users will be able to redeem their ERC-721 NFTs for their balance of sUSDf, which includes their initial restaked amount and any accrued boosted yield.

Refer to the [Boosted Yield](/resources/quick-app-guide/navigating-the-earn-tab/boosted-yield) section for further details on the restaking process.


# Yield Generation

A quick guide into yield-generation strategies in Falcon Finance: funding rate & cross-exchange arbitrage, staking & liquidity pools.

Unlike other synthetic dollar protocols that rely solely on positive funding rate arbitrage, yield distributed to USDf stakers is derived from multiple different sources. This approach ensures consistent yields regardless of market conditions.

<table><thead><tr><th width="212">Strategy</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Positive Funding Rate Arbitrage</td><td>Falcon generates yield on positive funding rates by maintaining spot positions while shorting corresponding perpetual futures. The spot assets are concurrently staked, generating additional yield alongside funding rate income.</td></tr><tr><td>Negative Funding Rate Arbitrage</td><td>Conversely, Falcon can sell spot holdings and long futures to generate a yield with negative funding rates. </td></tr><tr><td>Cross-exchange Price Arbitrage</td><td>Falcon buys and sells assets across multiple markets to profit from differences in their prices.</td></tr><tr><td>Native Altcoin Staking</td><td>Falcon leverages native staking opportunities for supported non-stablecoin assets, allowing the protocol to earn higher on-chain yields as part of its diversified yield strategy.</td></tr><tr><td>Liquidity Pools </td><td>Falcon deploys a portion of assets into tier-1 on-chain liquidity pools to generate yield through on-chain dex activity and arbitrage.</td></tr><tr><td>Options-Based Strategies</td><td>Falcon utilizes options-based strategies to capture volatility premiums and pricing inefficiencies. By employing ai models, hedged options positions and spreads, the protocol aims to generate yield while maintaining controlled directional exposure and defined risk parameters.</td></tr><tr><td>Spot/ Perps Arbitrage </td><td>Falcon executes market-neutral arbitrage by holding spot assets while taking offsetting perpetual futures positions. This allows the protocol to capture price basis movements and funding rate opportunities between spot and derivatives markets while maintaining hedged exposure.</td></tr><tr><td>Statistical Arbitrage</td><td>Falcon employs quantitative, mean-reversion and correlation-based trading models to identify and capture short-term pricing inefficiencies across assets and markets. These strategies are market-neutral in design and are executed with strict risk controls to minimize directional exposure.</td></tr><tr><td>Extreme Movements Trading</td><td>Falcon selectively executes strategies designed to capitalize on short-term dislocations during periods of extreme market volatility. These trades are deployed opportunistically with strict risk controls, allowing the protocol to generate yield when markets experience sharp, temporary movements.</td></tr></tbody></table>


# sUSDf Yield Distribution

Read about Falcon Finance yield distribution mechanism: daily calculation, USDf minting, and their allocation to sUSDf vaults & Boosted Yield positions.

### Overview

<figure><img src="/files/7ObVKRzBJYhuVTFkf86F" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Falcon calculates and verifies yields generated daily across all of its strategies. The generated yields are used to mint new USDf. A portion of the newly minted USDf is deposited directly into Falcon's sUSDf ERC-4626 Vault, increasing the vault's existing sUSDf : USDf value over time. The rest of the newly minted USDf is staked into the vault as sUSDf, and allocated to users with Boosted Yield NFTs.

If a user is using Classic Yield, they receive USDf when they unstake their sUSDf. The amount they get is based on the current sUSDf-to-USDf value, which will already account for their share of total yield accrued.

On the other hand, users who have participated in Falcon's Boosted Yield unstake (claim) their locked positions, they receive the additional sUSDf that was staked on their behalf. This enables them to enjoy the boosted yield, on top of their initial locked amount of sUSDf. They can then unstake their sUSDf for classic yield as with any other user.\
\&#xNAN;*Restaked and boosted sUSDf positions will receive additional sUSDf only at maturity.*

### Calculation of Yield

At the end of each 24-hour cycle, Falcon calculates the total amount of yield generated within the period, before distributing them to USDf stakers following the formula below:

$$
\text{Yield per User} = \frac{\text{USDf Staked by User}}{\text{Total USDf Staked}} \times \text{Yield Distributed}
$$

### On-chain Tracking

By utilizing the ERC-4626 standard, Falcon ensures that the sUSDf-to-USDf rate remains fully transparent and verifiable on-chain. Users can do so via Etherscan by following the below process:

<figure><img src="/files/p9WL4bhzPmbFxijyynk5" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Visit the sUSDf contract on Etherscan: <https://etherscan.io/address/0xc8CF6D7991f15525488b2A83Df53468D682Ba4B0#readProxyContract>
2. Scroll to "convertToAssets" and input 1000000000000000000 (represents 1 sUSDf).
3. Divide the result (i.e, 1020540451406678530) by 10^18 to verify the current sUSDf-to-USDf rate (i.e, 1.020540451406678530)

### Lock Window

To maintain accuracy and prevent complications (e.g., last-minute entries or exits distorting daily returns), Falcon implements a brief lock window, often during the 9:00–10:00 PM GMT+8 timeslot. Yield is finalized within that same timeslot, and interactions such as staking and unstaking may briefly be queued to avoid overlapping transactions that could incorrectly allocate or dilute the daily rewards.

Once calculation and yield distribution are complete, Falcon incorporates the final figure into the next APY update.

*Additionally, clients who redeem assets before the daily unlock process is fully completed will forfeit a portion of their daily yields.*


# Staking Vaults

Earn USDf yield by staking digital assets with fixed APR vaults with secure lockups and no KYC required.

Staking Vaults are an onchain product offered by Falcon Finance that enables users to earn USDf rewards on their digital asset holdings without selling their the tokens or completing KYC. The vaults aggregate TVL in strategic assets and deploy them into yield generating strategies, creating sustainable rewards for users while strengthening the Falcon ecosystem.

### Key Features&#x20;

1. **Stake your Tokens**&#x20;
   1. Users can deposit supported tokens into dedicated vaults. Once deposited, the assets enter a lockup period and begin earning rewards.
2. **Earn USDf Yield**
   1. Yield is distributed in USDf at a fixed APR. The vault does not mint USDf from user staking.&#x20;
3. **Lockup Duration**
   1. Each vault offers specific lockup periods (eg: 180 days). Once the lockup duration ends, users can unstake and withdraw the same quantity of their deposited tokens.&#x20;
4. **Proprietary Yield Generation**
   1. Falcon Finance generates yield through propriety trading. All strategies follow Falcon internal risk processes.
5. **Unstake Cooldown**
   1. After the lockup duration ends, users can initiate an unstake of the token from the Staking Vault. A 3-day cooldown period applies to allow strategies to unwind. Once the cooldown is complete, users can redeem their original tokens.


# Quick App Guide

A quick guide into using Falcon Finance: from depositing crypto collateral & minting USDf tokens to boosting yields & redeeming collateral.

### **How the Falcon App Works**

Falcon has two types of tokens :

* **USDf (Overcollateralized Synthetic Dollar):** A synthetic digital asset that is fully backed by eligible deposits, including stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC, FDUSD) and non-stablecoin assets such as BTC, ETH, and select altcoins. Stablecoin deposits mint USDf at a 1:1 ratio, while non-stablecoin assets are subject to an overcollateralization ratio to preserve protocol integrity.
* **sUSDf (Yield-Bearing Asset):** A yield-bearing token minted when USDf is deposited and staked into Falcon Finance’s ERC-4626 vaults. The value of sUSDf increases over time, as the protocol accrues yield through strategies such as positive & negative funding rate spreads, and altcoin staking. The sUSDf-to-USDf ratio reflects cumulative yield performance.

### **User Flow for Stablecoins Deposits**

**Step 1: Mint USDf**\
Begin by connecting a whitelisted Web3 wallet. Users may deposit eligible stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC, FDUSD) into their Falcon Account and mint USDf on a 1:1 basis relative to the deposited stablecoin value.

**Step 2: (Optional) Stake USDf to Receive sUSDf**\
Users can choose to stake their minted USDf into Falcon's vaults to receive sUSDF, a yield-bearing token that increases in value over time.

**Step 3: (Optional) Boost Yields via Fixed-Term Restaking of sUSDf**\
To earn boosted yield, users may also opt to restake sUSDf into fixed-term vaults (e.g., 3 or 6 months). Upon doing so, Falcon issues an ERC-721 NFT representing the locked-up assets, and accrues additional yield. Upon maturity, users can redeem their NFT for sUSDf.\
\&#xNAN;*Alternatively, users may utilize the Express Mint feature to directly restake their deposits and mint an ERC-721 NFT at Step 1, bypassing Step 2 entirely.*&#x20;

**Step 4: Unstake sUSDf to Receive USDf**\
While unstaking sUSDf, users will receive USDf at the prevailing sUSDf-to-USDf value.&#x20;

**Step 5: Redeem USDf for Stablecoins**\
Users may finally redeem USDf for their original stablecoin-denominated deposits (USDT, USDC, or FDUSD) on a 1:1 basis, subject to 7-days cooldown period.

### **User Flow for Non-Stablecoins Deposits**

**Step 1: Mint Overcollateralized USDf**\
Similarly, users begin by connecting a whitelisted Web3 wallet. They may then deposit supported non-stablecoin assets—such as ETH, BTC, stETH, or other accepted tokens.\
Upon deposit, the protocol applies an Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR) based on the asset’s risk profile and market volatility. This ensures that the USDf minted subsequently is backed by collateral of equal or greater value.

**Step 2: (Optional) Stake USDf to Receive sUSDf**\
Users can choose to stake their minted USDf into Falcon's vaults to receive sUSDF, a yield-bearing token that increases in value over time.

**Step 3: (Optional) Boost Yields via Fixed-Term Restaking of sUSDf**\
To earn boosted yield, users may also opt to restake sUSDf into fixed-term vaults (e.g., 3 or 6 months). Upon doing so, the protocol issues an ERC-721 NFT representing the locked-up assets, and accrues additional yield. Upon maturity, users can redeem their NFT for sUSDf.\
\&#xNAN;*Alternatively, users may utilize the Express Mint feature to directly restake their deposits and mint an ERC-721 NFT at Step 1, bypassing Step 2 entirely.*

**Step 4: Unstake sUSDf to Receive USDf**\
While unstaking sUSDf, users will receive USDf at the prevailing sUSDf-to-USDf value ratio. At the same time, users who initially deposited non-stablecoin assets will also receive an overcollateralization buffer. This is based on current market conditions:

* If the current market price is less than or equal to the initial mark price (of their deposit asset), the user may reclaim the full unit amount of the buffer.
* If the current market price is greater than the initial mark price, the user will reclaim a USD-equivalent value of the buffer based on the initial mark price.

**Step 5: Select Redemption Type** \
Once sUSDf has been converted into USDf and the overcollateralization buffer, users may select one of three options for final redemption:

* Full Redemption in Stablecoins
  * Convert their total claim—USDf value and overcollateralization buffer, into eligible stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC, FDUSD) at a 1:1 ratio. A 7-day cooldown period will apply.
* Split Redemption: Stablecoins + Original Collateral
  * Redeem part of their claim in stablecoins, and the remainder in the originally deposited non-stablecoin asset.
* Full Redemption in Original Collateral
  * Users may opt to redeem their total claim fully in the originally deposited collateral, subject to market pricing and availability.

*For an extensive description for terms used within the App Guide, users can refer to the* [*Glossary*](/glossary) *section.*

# Classic Mint

Overview of the Classic Mint function in Falcon Finance: minting & staking USDf  synthetic dollars.

### **Overview**

The Mint function within the Swap tab allows users to initiate USDf minting using existing deposit assets in their Falcon Account as collateral. Users can mint USDf with a range of stablecoins and non-stablecoin assets. Minting USDf will require manual review and approval from Falcon, and while the service-level agreement (SLA) lasts for a 24-hour period, this process is expected to be processed within minutes.

Refer to the [Supported Assets](/supported-assets) section for further details on eligible deposit assets.

### **Staking**

After verification of a successful mint, users are encouraged to participate in staking and other yield features within the Falcon App with their USDf.

Refer to the [Classic Yield](/resources/quick-app-guide/navigating-the-earn-tab/classic-yield) section under the [Earn](/resources/quick-app-guide/navigating-the-earn-tab) tab for further details.

# Minting with Stablecoins

Learn how to mint USDf tokens with stablecoins in Falcon Finance. Follow steps to mint, stake, restake  & track positions in your account.

### User Flow for Minting USDf with Stablecoins

**Step 1: Navigate to the Mint Section**\
First, users locate the Swap tab on the Falcon App, and select "**Mint**" from its dropdown menu.

<figure><img src="/files/wVZeBtZVx4faUHa6ntJJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 2: Select Collateral Asset and Indicate Amount**\
Users select a stablecoin from existing deposits in their Falcon Account, and indicate the desired amount to use as collateral for minting USDf.

<div><figure><img src="/files/Hy2ehgc7lq9ATACQnYac" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/lE7thX5SSFOJnA5y6N0x" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Step 3a: Mint USDf**\
Once the collateral asset and amount are selected, users can initiate the minting of USDf to their connected Web3 wallet by clicking the Mint button. This will trigger a transaction.

**Step 3b: Mint and Stake USDf**\
Furthermore, users can opt into an Express Mint. By selecting the Receive sUSDf option, users' newly minted USDf is automatically staked, skipping the intermediate step of manually staking it. These users will directly receive sUSDf instead of USDf, and be entitled to any Basic Yield accrued.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/dh3g2G21UOYdl7KrE4PF" alt="" width="295"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 3c: Mint, Stake, and Restake USDf**\
Users opting into an Express Mint can also select the Boost Yield option. This option works similar to the Receive sUSDf option in Step 3b, with the addition of restaking users' sUSDf into fixed-term vaults (e.g., 3 or 6 months). Users who select this option will receive varying yields based on the tenure chosen, on top of Basic Yield accrued on their sUSDf. They will also receive an ERC-721 NFT representing their locked up position instead of USDf or sUSDf.

<div><figure><img src="/files/aXIztsoWCUDgl54ZkSQl" alt="" width="322"><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/IIc7KH5dYCiU0urmt85r" alt="" width="347"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Step 4: Approve Transaction**\
Users will be required to confirm and authorize the transaction within their Web3 wallet. \
\&#xNAN;*Minting USDf will require manual review and approval from Falcon, and while the service-level agreement (SLA) lasts for a 24-hour period, this process is expected to be processed within minutes.*

<figure><img src="/files/7qYVqURWbWEKtPY7RrgG" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 5: Confirm Minting via Falcon Account Overview**\
After minting is finalized and the transaction is confirmed, users should confirm that their newly minted assets are viewable under the Profile function located in the dropdown menu of the Account tab. This will differ based on the variation of Step 3 followed by users:

* Step 3a: Observe an increase in their USDf balance corresponding to the total value of their recent mint.
* Step 3b: Observe an increase in their sUSDf balance corresponding to the total value of their recent mint.
* Step 3c: Observe a new position under Boosted Yield Positions, displaying their Yield %, Principal, Value, Maturity, and Yield Accrued.\
  \&#xNAN;*Additionally, users may click on the shortcut under NFT to view their ERC-721 NFT on the respective block explorers.*

# Minting with Non-Stablecoin Assets

Step-by-step process for minting USDf tokens with non-stablecoin assets in Falcon Finance, including overcollateralization buffer & yield options.

### User Flow for Minting USDf with non-Stablecoins

**Step 1: Navigate to the Mint Section**\
First, users locate the Swap tab on the Falcon App, and select "**Mint**" from its dropdown menu.

<figure><img src="/files/wVZeBtZVx4faUHa6ntJJ" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 2: Select Collateral Asset and Indicate Amount**\
Users select a non-stablecoin asset from existing deposits in their Falcon Account, and indicate the desired amount to use as collateral for minting USDf. Non-stablecoin assets are subject to an overcollateralization ratio, and will require the setting aside of an overcollateralization buffer. This will also be claimable.\
\&#xNAN;*An asset's overcollateralization ratio based on its risk profile and market volatility. This ensures that the USDf minted is backed by collateral of equal or greater value. Users minting USDf with non-stablecoin assets are encouraged to review this and take note of the quoted overcollateralization buffer prior to proceeding.*

<div><figure><img src="/files/hmhfLr6tkcG8LvrGNdRk" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/Ag0CnAPCUwuj9yHuSiT2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Step 4: Approve Transaction**\
Users will be required to confirm and authorize the transaction within their Web3 wallet.\
\&#xNAN;*Minting USDf will require manual review and approval from Falcon, and while the service-level agreement (SLA) lasts for a 24-hour period, this process is expected to be processed within minutes*.

<figure><img src="/files/7qYVqURWbWEKtPY7RrgG" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 5: Confirm Minting via Falcon Account Overview**\
After minting is finalized and the transaction is confirmed, users should confirm that their newly minted assets are viewable under the Profile function located in the dropdown menu of the Account tab. This will differ based on the variation of Step 3 followed by users:

* Step 3a: Observe an increase in their USDf balance corresponding to the total value of their recent mint.
* Step 3b: Observe an increase in their sUSDf balance corresponding to the total value of their recent mint.
* Step 3c: Observe a new position under Boosted Yield Positions, displaying their Yield %, Principal, Value, Maturity, and Yield Accrued.\
  \&#xNAN;*Additionally, users may click on the shortcut under NFT to view their ERC-721 NFT on the respective block explorers.*

<figure><img src="/files/S9Gq1dHe37YgKC9e6dBQ" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

All users who have minted USDf with non-stablecoin assets should also observe a Locked Position under the Profile page as shown above. \
The values indicated for each locked position are calculated based on the formulas below:

$$
\text{Amount} = \frac{\text{USDf Minted}}{\text{Initial Mark Price}} + \text{OCR Buffer Amount}
$$

$$
\text{OCR} (%) = \left\[1 - \left(\frac{\text{USDf Minted}}{\text{Amount}} \times \text{Initial Mark Price}\right)\right] \times 100%
$$


# Locked Positions

Locked Positions are a representation of users' non-stablecoin assets that have been locked as collateral to mint USDf. These will be displayed under the Locked Positions section within users' Falcon Account Overview.

### Example

<figure><img src="/files/tmDobyfKhd5rk9JN3Ukg" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In the image provided above, a user has a Locked Position with the following details:

* Asset: ETH
* Amount: 500 ETH
* Initial Mark Price: $1,580.39 per ETH
* Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR): 5%
* Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR) Buffer Amount: 25 ETH
* USDf Minted: 750,685.9691 USDf

The terms above and their respective values are defined and calculated as such:

**Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR)**\
An Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR) is set to indicate a user's total value of locked collateral relative to the amount of minted USDf.&#x20;

$$
\text{OCR} = \frac{\text{Initial Mark Price of Collateral} \times \text{Collateral Amount}}{\text{USDf Minted}}
$$

Using the example scenario, the user's USDf minted amount is calculated as:&#x20;

$$
\text{USDf Minted} = 500 \times 1580.39 \times 0.05 = 750,685.9691
$$

**Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR) Buffer Amount**&#x20;

OCR Buffer Amount is the portion of collateral retained by Falcon beyond the value of minted USDf. The buffer serves as a risk mitigation mechanism to safeguard the protocol against market fluctuations.&#x20;

The amount of collateral asset held as an OCR buffer should be equivalent to OCR \* total amount of total collateral locked

**USDf Minted**

The USDf Minted value represents the total amount of USDf minted to the users' connected wallet by locking non-stablecoin collateral (e.g. ETH). This figure reflects the borrowing capacity granted to you based on the protocol’s Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR) rules.

To fully unwind your position and reclaim your locked collateral, you are required to repay the exact amount of USDf minted, in this case - 750,685.9691 USDf.

Once the USDf has been successfully repaid, the corresponding collateral (e.g. 500 ETH) will be unlocked and returned to your Falcon Account.

# Claim

A step-by-step guide into the Claim feature in Falcon Finance: locked positions, selecting claim assets & confirming claim operations.

### **Overview**

The Claim sub-function under the Locked Positions section of the Falcon Account Overview allows users who have minted USDf with non-stablecoin assets to claim their locked positions. Users can claim their locked positions in the form of their initial deposit asset, USDT, or a combination of both.\
\&#xNAN;*This feature will be moved under the Swap tab in the future.*

**Step 2: Select Locked Position to Claim**\
Users select the locked position that they intend to claim and click Claim.

**Step 3: Check for Sufficient USDf Balance**\
To claim their locked positions, users will require a USDf balance in their Falcon Account equivalent or greater than the amount of USDf initially minted with the locked position.\
Users who do not meet the indicated USDf balance will be required to either mint or deposit the USDf difference into their Falcon Account to claim their locked position.

<div align="center"><figure><img src="/files/pR8s852KRknu30DdcQiW" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

<div align="center"><figure><img src="/files/Ww6G0gewqbxu8bHkOw3u" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Step 4: Select Claim Asset**\
Once the required USDf value is met, users can indicate their preferred claim asset in which they wish to receive their locked position. Users are able to choose between three options:

* Initial collateral asset:&#x20;
  * Users receive the equivalent of their locked position's value (USDf minted + overcolleralization buffer) completely in their initial collateral asset.
* USDT:
  * Users receive the equivalent of their locked position's value completely in USDT.
* Initial collateral asset + USDT:
  * Users receive the equivalent of their locked position's value in a combination of their initial collateral asset and USDT.&#x20;
  * The amount of collateral asset that can be claimed will be equal to or less than the initial overcollateralization buffer. The amount of overcollateralization buffer a user can claim is determined by the prevailing market price at the time of claiming.&#x20;
    * If the market price exceeds the initial deposit price: The redeemable value of the buffer will be capped at the original USD value of the deposit.&#x20;
    * If the market price falls below the deposit price: Users may reclaim the full unit quantity of the buffer, calculated at the lower market price.
  * The amount of USDT claimed will be equivalent to the initial amount of USDf minted by the user.

Once selected, users can initiate the claim of their locked positions to their Falcon Account by clicking the Confirm Claim button, which triggers the claim transaction.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/a9C6tulDIpPhSucrDOND" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p><em>Chosen option: <strong>Non-stable coin</strong></em></p></figcaption></figure>

*Note:  The amounts and valuations shown in the image above are indicative. Final amount received may vary based on market conditions and the time of redemption as price changes.*&#x20;

**Step 5: Approve Transaction**\
Users will be required to confirm and authorize the transaction within their Web3 wallet.

**Step 6: Confirm Claim via Falcon Account Overview**\
After the claim is finalized and the transaction is confirmed, users' claimed assets will automatically be deposited into their Falcon Account after the 7-day cooldown period. Users should confirm this under the Profile function located in the dropdown menu of the Account tab.

<figure><img src="/files/fF5ZmB0uNspyeYGvswds" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

# Boosted Yield

A step-by-step guide for restaking and unstaking fixed-term Boosted Yield positions (owned as ERC-721 NFTs).

### **Overview**

The Boosted Yield function within the Earn tab allows users to restake their sUSDf into fixed-term vaults to enhance yield performance. By locking their sUSDf for a pre-defined period (e.g., 3 or 6 months), users are issued with a time-locked ERC-721 NFT, which represents their boosted staking position and accrues additional yield over time.

Users can also utilize the **Express Mint** feature to directly mint into a Boosted Yield position from deposited collateral, skipping the intermediate step of staking to sUSDf.\
Refer to the [Classic Yield](/resources/quick-app-guide/navigating-the-earn-tab/classic-yield) under the [Earn](/resources/quick-app-guide/navigating-the-earn-tab) tab for further context on acquiring sUSDf.&#x20;

After restaking is finalized and the transaction is confirmed, users should confirm that their newly restaked assets are viewable under the Profile function located in the dropdown menu of the Account tab. \
Users should observe an increase in their staked USDf balance corresponding to the total value of their initial indicated amount, a similar increase in staked sUSDf amount, and a new ERC-721 NFT under the Boosted Yield Positions section.

<figure><img src="/files/vgkWpbRGRBF8MPWId3CV" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 7: Verify NFT Position**\
Upon successful restaking, users would have automatically minted a unique ERC-721 NFT that represents their fixed-term yield position. The NFT encodes key data such as the principal amount (in sUSDf), the selected restaking duration, and the expected maturity date.\
The NFT serves as proof of users' restaked positions and can be tracked under the Boosted Yield Positions section of the dashboard. It is transferable, enabling future utility across supported platforms or secondary markets. \
\&#xNAN;*Users can also click the shortcut under "NFT" to view their NFT directly on its respective block explorer.*

# Unstaking from Boosted Yield

Unstaking process for Boosted Yield in Falcon Finance: where to claim matured positions & receive sUSDf that includes both principal & accrued yield.

### **Overview**

The Claim sub-function under the Boosted Yield Positions section of the Falcon Account Overview allows users who have restaked their USDf, or sUSDf for an ERC-721 NFT to claim their locked positions. Users will claim their locked positions in the form of sUSDT.

### **User Flow for Unstaking from Boosted Yield**

**Step 1: Navigate to the Claim Section**\
First, users locate the Account tab on the Falcon App, and select Profile from its dropdown menu. Then locate the Claim button under the Connected Wallet and Boosted Yield Positions sections.

<figure><img src="/files/LK868PFhpDO2y7gDRgSg" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 2: Select Boosted Yield Position to Claim**\
Users will be able to view all their boosted yield positions under this section. However, only positions that have reached maturity (completed the selected tenure) will be eligible for claiming. Users should also take note of each position's principal, and yield accrued.\
Users select the locked position that they intend to claim and click Claim. This will trigger a transaction.

**Step 3: Approve Transaction**\
Users will be required to confirm and authorize the transaction within their Web3 wallet.

**Step 4: Confirm Restaking via Falcon Account Overview**\
After restaking is finalized and the transaction is confirmed, users should confirm that their newly claimed assets are viewable under the Profile function located in the dropdown menu of the Account tab. \
Alongside the claimed boosted yield position no longer being displayed under the Boosted Yield Positions section, users should observe a decrease in their staked sUSDf balance, and an equivalent increase in sUSDf balance.\
\&#xNAN;*This change in sUSDf balance should be equivalent to the sum of the boosted yield position's principal and yield accrued as mentioned in Step 2.*

</details>

### Yield Accrual

<details>

<summary>What is sUSDf?</summary>

sUSDf is a yield-bearing token minted by staking USDf on Falcon Finance. It is designed to accrue value over time through Falcon's diversified, institutional-grade yield generation strategies.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I stake USDf to mint sUSDf?</summary>

1. Deposit USDf into the <kbd>Earn</kbd> module on Falcon. This locks your USDf and initiates the minting process for sUSDf.
2. sUSDf is minted based on the current sUSDf-to-USDf value, which reflects the total supply of sUSDf relative to the total USDf staked and accumulated protocol yield in USDf.
3. As Falcon generates yield through multiple trading strategies, the sUSDf-to-USDf value increases. This means your staked USDf generates yield which indirectly causes the appreciation of sUSDf.
4. sUSDf can be held for passive yield accrual or restaked for fixed-term boosted yields.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How can I earn APY through Falcon?</summary>

Stake USDf to Mint sUSDf:

1. Stake USDf on Falcon to mint sUSDf, a yield-bearing token.
2. Users earn a base yield, calculated based on a 7-day trailing APY derived from the protocol’s performance.
3. The value of sUSDf increases over time as yield accrues through Falcon’s yield generation strategies.

Boost Your Yield with Restaking sUSDf:

4. Restake sUSDf into fixed tenures of 3 months, 6 months, or other durations to earn boosted yields.
5. When restaking, Falcon issues an ERC-721 NFT to your wallet, representing the locked sUSDf and lock-up duration. This NFT accrues additional yield over the lock-up period.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I withdraw my assets at any time?</summary>

1. Yes, fully KYC-verified and whitelisted users can redeem USDf on demand.
2. Redeemed assets are subject to a 7-day cooling period before the original collateral becomes available for withdrawal.
3. The cooling period ensures proper settlement and asset processing.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does Falcon generate yield?</summary>

Falcon Finance expands on traditional synthetic dollar designs by integrating diversified collateral, including stablecoins, blue-chip tokens, and select altcoins, allowing the protocol to capitalize on distinct yield opportunities offered by various asset classes.&#x20;

Its institutional-grade yield generation strategies go beyond delta-neutral basis spreads and funding rate arbitrage, employing advanced statistical arbitrage algorithms to ensure consistent, risk-adjusted returns. These strategies leverage exchange arbitrage opportunities, exploiting micro market structure inefficiencies and funding rate variations while maintaining a delta-neutral position.&#x20;

By combining this robust approach with overcollateralized assets, Falcon Finance delivers sustainable and scalable yields across varying market conditions​​.

</details>

### Risk Management

<details>

<summary>How does Falcon manage risks?</summary>

1. Falcon combines automated systems and manual oversight to actively monitor and manage trading positions in real time. Automated systems continuously evaluate positions against risk thresholds and manual oversight by Falcon’s seasoned trading desk ensures an additional layer of evaluation and adjustment.&#x20;
2. During heightened market volatility, Falcon leverages the expertise of its seasoned trading desk and advanced infrastructure to strategically unwind risks.
3. Falcon continuously monitors market conditions, allowing for dynamic adaptation of strategies to mitigate risks and optimize yield generation during varying market scenarios.
4. In addition, Falcon ensures full operational transparency through detailed quarterly and annually Proof of Reserve (PoR) reports, consolidating on-chain and off-chain data, including collateral held by qualified custodians, balances on DEXs, CEXs, and protocol wallets. Independent third-party audits validate collateral adequacy, trading strategy compliance, and security protocols, including multi-signature schemes and MPC solutions. Users can access a real-time transparency dashboard displaying metrics such as Total Value Locked (TVL), the volume of sUSDf issued and staked, and the amount of USDf issued and staked.
5. Falcon commissions ISAE 3000 assurance reports to assess security, availability, transaction integrity, and privacy, reinforcing its commitment to trust and accountability.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does USDf aim to maintain its peg?</summary>

USDf is an overcollateralized synthetic dollar created when users deposit eligible assets into Falcon Finance.

For stablecoin deposits, USDf is minted at a 1:1 USD value ratio, ensuring straightforward stability. For non-stablecoin deposits such as BTC, ETH, or SOL, an overcollateralization ratio (OCR) is applied to account for potential market volatility and maintain full collateral backing.

The OCR acts as a buffer, safeguarding the protocol against market fluctuations while enabling Falcon to leverage a diverse set of yield-generating strategies. This dual benefit ensures USDf remains secure, robust, and optimized for user returns.

</details>

# Insurance Fund

Read about Falcon Finance's Insurance Fund: a special financial buffer to safeguard the protocol against adverse market conditions.

The Insurance Fund is an onchain, verifiable reserve maintained by Falcon Finance to provide an additional layer of protection for protocol users and to support orderly USDf markets during periods of exceptional stress. The fund is intended to grow alongside protocol adoption through periodic allocations.&#x20;

### **Insurance Fund Address**

[0x432CDcc4516B21302985b639Ef9a7853727A4e49](https://etherscan.io/address/0x432CDcc4516B21302985b639Ef9a7853727A4e49)

The Insurance Fund exists to safeguard the protocol during adverse conditions and to promote orderly markets for USDf. Its primary role is to absorb and smooth rare periods of negative yield performance by providing a financial buffer. When market liquidity for USDf becomes dislocated, the fund may operate as a market backstop by purchasing USDf in open markets in measured size and at transparent prices, with the objective of restoring orderly trading and minimizing risk. During episodes of exceptional, system-wide stress, Falcon Finance may supplement the fund and deploy capital to preserve protocol stability and continuity of operations.&#x20;

a) For the Falcon Assets to be issued through the Platform, you must provide us with your wallet address and any other identity information or document as we may require for purposes of whitelisting such wallet address.

b) Users may mint USDf by depositing Eligible Collateral into the Falcon Finance Protocol.

c) Once USDf has been minted, Users may stake their USDf in the Falcon Finance Protocol to receive sUSDf.

d) Under no circumstances shall any of the Indemnified Persons be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for any direct, indirect, special or consequential losses (including loss of profits, business, or opportunities), damages or costs by reason of, or arising from, or as a consequence of, any processing delays in connection the issuance of Falcon Assets (including network or tech related errors), or your failure to provide us with the correct wallet address or instruction(s).

Upon receipt of your USDf or sUSDf and the completion of any processing, screening or verification checks, the corresponding amount of the originally deposited Eligible Collateral, stablecoins, RWAs or USDf (as applicable) will be transferred to your wallet address, subject to any applicable cooling period.

b) The amount in the Eligible Collateral, RWAs, other stablecoins or USDf sent to your wallet address at redemption may be rounded down to the nearest unit at our discretion.

c) A minimum amount for redemption of Falcon Assets may be imposed by us, which may be changed from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion. We reserve the right not to process any redemption where such amount does not meet the minimum required amount.

d) While we are committed to providing efficient transaction processing for our Users, processing times may vary depending on various factors, including the blockchain network's congestion, transaction complexity, and required confirmation or settlement. While we strive to facilitate transactions promptly, we cannot guarantee immediate processing or completion of transactions.

9.1. You may pledge/ provide a variety of listed altcoins (excluding stablecoins), as determined by Falcon Finance in its sole discretion from time to time (the "**Eligible Altcoins**"), as collateral (the "**Collateral**") on the Falcon Protocol in order to mint USDf (the "**Innovative Mint Program**").

9.2. To participate in the Innovative Mint Program, you must pledge the Eligible Altcoins on the Falcon Protocol for a fixed period of time (the "**Mint Term**"), which may be 90, 180, or 365 days or as otherwise stipulated by us and selected by you. During the Mint Term, you shall have no right to request redemption, withdrawal, or transfer of the Collateral.

9.3. If, at any time during the Mint Term, the Spot Price of the collateralised Eligible Altcoin meets or falls below the specified liquidation price, Falcon Finance reserves the right to liquidate the Collateral immediately to cover the minted USDf, irrespective of the remaining tenure of the Mint Term. This means that should the liquidation price be met anytime during the Mint Term, the Collateral may be liquidated and sold in whole or in part by Falcon Finance, to recover the outstanding USDf without any prior notice to you.

This process applies regardless of the time remaining in the Mint Term or any other conditions set at the time of participation in the Innovative Mint Program.

a) Falcon Finance will issue additional USDf to you, calculated based on the excess value of the collateralised Eligible Altcoin above the specified strike price; and

b) you will forfeit all rights to reclaim the Collateral, which will become the property of Falcon Finance.

9.7. If upon Maturity, the Spot Price of the collateralised Eligible Altcoin is between the specified liquidation price and the specified strike price:

a) you may reclaim the Collateral only if you fully return all the USDf minted during the Mint Term to Falcon Finance within 72 hours from the maturity of the Mint Term; and

b) failure to return the minted USDf within the prescribed timeframe will result in the liquidation of the Collateral by Falcon Finance to cover the minted USDf.

9.8. If, at any time during the Mint Term, the Spot Price of the collateralised Eligible Altcoin is at or below the specified liquidation price:

a) Falcon Finance will liquidate the Collateral to cover the minted USDf; and

b) you will permanently lose all claims and rights to the Collateral.

9.9. All calculations of Spot Prices of the Eligible Altcoins will be based on data from market sources determined by Falcon Finance at its sole discretion. Disputes regarding calculations or pricing will be resolved at Falcon Finance's sole discretion, and you agree to accept such determinations as as final and binding.&#x20;

9.10. Participation in the Innovative Mint Program is subject to inherent risks, including but not limited to market volatility, liquidity issues, and regulatory changes. You acknowledge and accept that:

a) the value of your Collateral may fluctuate significantly;

b) Collateral may be liquidated under the conditions outlined above, resulting in the permanent loss of your collateralised Eligible Altcoin; and
