<summary>Q2. How do I earn yield as a Vault Curator?</summary>

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.

<summary>Q3. How is curator principal protected?</summary>

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.
