Problem
Many DeFi users are excluded from leveraged yield farming due to the upfront borrowing costs and the risk of negative leveraged APY, which can erode potential earnings. This creates a barrier to entry, preventing users from maximizing their returns on trending assets.
Solution
Stella offers a decentralized leveraged strategies platform that enables users to access curated leveraged strategies on various digital assets with 0% borrowing costs. This is achieved through a Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) model, where borrowers only pay when the strategy generates profit. Lenders provide liquidity to the platform and earn shared real yields derived from the leveragoors' profits, creating a symbiotic relationship where increased leveragoor earnings directly benefit lenders. Stella features two primary components: Stella Trade, which provides perpetuals trading with aggregated liquidity from CeFi and DeFi, and Stella Yield, which offers leveraged yield opportunities with no upfront borrowing costs.
Target Audience
Stella primarily targets DeFi users seeking to enhance their yield farming returns through leveraged strategies without the burden of upfront borrowing costs, as well as lenders looking to earn passive income by providing liquidity to leveraged positions.
