Users

Different types of users can earn yield through the Arcadia Protocol.

There are four different user groups. The following image illustrates how each of them interacts with the Arcadia Protocol.

Users

1. Lenders

Lenders are the least sophisticated users. They have no direct exposure to liquidity positions and only indirect exposure to market- or liquidation risks. They only need to choose which assets they want to lend, and how much they want to lend.

2. Strategists

Strategists are a more sophisticated type of user. They need to understand the risks involved with using AMM liquidity positions.

Choosing and managing a yield strategy does not require any technical knowledge or experience. Strategists only need to select one of the four curated yield strategies. The dApp will use data to optimize which pools, ranges, rebalancing frequencies... are used within the curated strategies.

3. Farmers

Farmers are the most sophisticated type of user. Farmers get the full flexibility and tooling to build and manage their yield portfolio's. Farmers can select and combine liquidity positions of any available Pool, choose custom ranges, use leverage, customize automations and much more.

4. Protocols

Protocols providing liquidity in DEXs have very different objectives than typical yield farmers. Where a yield farmer wants to maximize returns, protocols wants to ensure sufficient liquidity, limiting slippage for buyers/sellers, while preserving principle capital.

Arcadia Pro is a bespoke suite for PoL management. Under the hood it uses the same (onchain) infrastructure as the main dapp, but optimises for the specific objectives and needs to manage PoL.
