Early Exit

Fixed Yield positions on XCCY are commitment-based products. Once opened, they are designed to be held until maturity.

Why Direct Early Exit Is Disabled

A Fixed Yield position represents a locked economic agreement:

  • lenders commit capital at a fixed rate,

  • borrowers lock in a fixed cost of funds,

  • the protocol commits to hedging or matching the position.

Allowing unilateral early exit would:

  • introduce asymmetric risk to the opposite side,

  • create optionality that can be exploited during rate changes,

  • shift unpredictable losses to the protocol balance sheet.

To avoid this, Fixed Yield positions are non-cancelable by default.

NFT-Based Exit (v2)

In protocol v2, Fixed Yield positions are represented as transferable NFTs.

This enables a market-driven early exit without protocol intervention.

Users can:

  • sell a Fixed Deposit NFT to another participant,

  • sell a Fixed Borrow NFT (debt position),

  • exit at a price determined by current market rates and demand.

This approach ensures:

  • no forced repricing by the protocol,

  • no hidden subsidies or penalties,

  • transparent, fair exit conditions.

The protocol does not guarantee liquidity or price for NFT exits.

Alternatives to Early Exit

If you require flexibility, consider one of the following options:

1. Use Shorter Maturities

Instead of a long lock-up:

  • choose ON, 1W, or 1M tenors,

  • roll positions periodically,

  • retain control over timing.

2. Build Fixed Yield Yourself

Advanced users can replicate Fixed Yield manually by:

  • lending in floating-rate markets,

  • hedging rate exposure using XCCY IRS positions.

This provides full exit flexibility at the cost of:

  • active management,

  • exposure to mark-to-market PnL.

3. Use Floating Lending Directly

For maximum flexibility:

  • supply assets to floating-rate protocols,

  • accept variable yield,

  • withdraw at any time.

This avoids lock-ups entirely, but with unpredictable returns.

Key Takeaway

Fixed Yield is intentionally non-interruptible.

If you need:

  • certainty → use Fixed Yield and hold to maturity,

  • flexibility → use shorter tenors, IRS, or floating markets.

NFT-based exits provide optional liquidity without compromising system safety.
