RFY: Predictable Yield From Start to Finish
RFY makes earning passive yield on Injective simple and structured. You deposit once, your capital is deployed into automated strategies, and you redeem with a clear view of your returns. The goal is to give users consistent yield with predictable outcomes, without the need for active management or constant decision making.
Overview of Yield Vaults
Yield Vaults are one of the products within the RFY suite. They are designed to provide passive yield with controlled execution. These vaults operate on fixed term epochs. Each epoch has a defined start and end where performance is finalized through NAV settlement. Because offchain strategies follow fixed timeframes, it makes sense for the onchain yield layer to align to the same schedule.
How Yield Vaults Work
Yield Vaults convert passive onchain assets into ERC 4626 receipt shares that automatically accrue value. Users deposit during the deposit window at the beginning of the epoch and receive receipt tokens that represent their share of the vault. At epoch start, collateral is deployed into onchain yield strategies and into passive income strategies executed offchain by institutional partners. When the epoch ends, strategy results and yield are reflected in the NAV and compounded into the vault.
User Liquidity and Redemption Options
Users have flexibility to exit. They may redeem during the 24 hour window at settlement or swap their receipt tokens mid epoch if liquidity is available. This allows users to maintain optionality while still benefiting from fixed term strategy design.
Why Timing Alignment Matters
Options strategies produce returns at a known expiry date. Fixed term yield sources such as those available through Pendle or other DeFi protocols (with fixed maturity markets) also settle on a known maturity date. When both align to the same point in time, the vault can finalize all performance in one clean event. There is no duration mismatch, no idle capital waiting for separate positions to finish, and no need to roll yield exposure beyond the strategy lifecycle. NAV can reflect every outcome precisely when the option strategy settles. RFY can also allocate to dynamic yield sources when they offer better returns, always targeting the optimal timing and performance for the epoch.
By matching yield duration with strategy expiry whenever possible, capital works for the full epoch. The vault maintains one unified performance timeline. Returns are predictable. The settlement process is simpler. Users deposit once, earn throughout the epoch, and redeem at settlement with full clarity. This design gives the vault flexibility to pursue the most optimal return profile while still supporting clear redemption timing.
User Benefits
For users, aligned maturities provide full period yield with no idle capital, clear redemption timing, predictable NAV based on one defined performance window, efficient execution without mid cycle repositioning, reduced timing mismatch risk, and a simpler return profile that is easy to understand. Your capital works for a clear duration and your redemption aligns with completed performance. Your yield is earned. Your exit is smooth.
Fees
RFY Yield Vaults apply a 10 percent performance fee on realized profit at settlement. If no profit is generated, no fee is charged. For example, if a vault earns 1 ETH profit in an epoch, 0.1 ETH is taken as fee and 0.9 ETH is added to the vault NAV. This ensures aligned incentives between users and strategists.
Risks
Yield Vaults involve exposure to market conditions, strategy execution, and smart contract security. Mid epoch liquidity may vary depending on market depth. Users should review risks and choose the vault type that fits their comfort and goals.
RFY Product Suite
RFY also offers other vault types such as Strategy Vaults and Meme Vaults which will be explained in future posts. Users can choose the vault that fits their goals and preferred exposure style.
