Investor deposits 100 stETH into the 'stETH Whale' Vault

stETH Dragon terms:

1. Investment duration: 27-day

Scenario 1: No Currency Conversion - Deposit stETH, Receive stETH

Example scenario: wstETH price movements during a 27 day period

Note: wstETH is the linked underlying asset for all Cega stETH products. Learn more here

What happens in this scenario?

• TLDR: deposit stETH, receive stETH

• wstETH price on Day 1 is $3200 and ends on Day 27 at $3400 which is below the strike price of $4160 (130% of Day 1 price)

• Thus the vault trade expires and no currency conversion occurs. The full principal that was deposited by the user is returned (100 stETH). The user earns ~2% yield paid in stETH (same currency as deposit)

• Deposit and yield are automatically reinvested for compounding returns into a new 27-day vault

What is the payoff for the investor?

• Initial deposit = 100 stETH

• Deposit returned = 100 stETH

• Yield earned = 2 stETH

  • APY = 25%, single 27-day vault yield = ~2%

• Total payoff = 102 stETH after 27 days (deposit + yield)

Scenario 2: Currency Conversion - Deposit stETH, Receive USDC

Example scenario: wstETH price movements during a 27 day period

Note: wstETH is the linked underlying asset for all Cega stETH products. Learn more here

What happens in this scenario?

• TLDR: deposit stETH, receive USDC

• wstETH price starts at $3200 and upon expiry ends above the strike price of $4160 (130% of Day 1 price). This results in a 'conversion'.

• A conversion occurs, whereby the deposited stETH is automatically sold for USDC at a 30% profit (at the 'strike price').

• The user also earns ~2% yield, which is paid in the same currency (USDC).

What is the payoff for the investor?

• Initial deposit = 100 ETH

  • Asset value = $320,000 @$3200 wstETH price

• Deposit returned = $416,000 USDC

  • 100 stETH sold for +30% profit @$4160

• Yield earned = $8,320 USDC

  • 100 stETH * 2% yield = 2 stETH earned and sold @$4160

• Total payoff = $424,320 USDC in 27 days

Scenario 3: Price Moves Above Strike During Trade

Example scenario: wstETH price movements during a 27 day period

Note: wstETH is the linked underlying asset for all Cega stETH products. Learn more here

What happens in this scenario?

• TLDR: deposit stETH, receive stETH

• wstETH price starts at $3200 and moves above the strike price ($4160) on day 10. However, the price at expiry ends below the strike price.

• No conversion occurs because the payoff is calculated based on the prices at expiry of the 27-day vault.

• The full principal that was deposited by the user is returned to them (100 stETH). The user also earns ~2% yield, which is paid in the deposit currency (stETH).

• Deposit and yield are automatically reinvested for compounding returns into a new 27-day vault

What is the payoff for the investor?

• Initial deposit = 100 stETH

• Deposit returned = 100 stETH

• Yield earned = 2 stETH

  • APY = 25%, single 27-day vault yield = ~2%

• Total payoff = 102 stETH after 27 days (deposit + yield)
