FAQs

Q1. Can Operators withdraw execution capital?

No. All execution occurs within whitelisted smart contracts, ensuring on-chain accounting, and deterministic restoration of vault balances.

Q2. How do I earn yield as a Vault Curator?

Curators earn real, fee-backed yield from verified trades executed using their delegated vault liquidity.

• Fee Accrual: Each trade credits a fixed Curator Fee (defined per epoch) to the FeeManager contract in the taker token — typically ETH, WBTC, or stablecoins.

• Claiming: These accrued fees are not automatically distributed; Curators can claim them anytime on-chain through the FeeManager interface.

Q3. How is curator principal protected?

YODL enforces deterministic principal protection through a multi-layer restoration stack:

1. YODL Staker Collateral.

2. Restoration Reserve — the final backstop funded by the Funding Rate and protocol allocations. This structure ensures that vault balances are always restored 1:1 to their pre-trade state, even during adverse events.

Q4. Can Curators recall their delegated funds anytime?

Yes — Curators have recall rights over their vault capital at all times.

Q5. Can Operators re-enter after blacklist?

Yes — requires DAO approval post evaluation.
