How LcBTC works

How the Strategy Works

  1. Deposit BTC / wrappers (cbBTC, wBTC - soon BTC, uBTC)

  2. BTC serves as collateral on Aave, Morpho → Borrow stablecoins at max 50% LTV

  3. Stablecoins deployed across HyperLend, HypurrFi, Felix (~12%+ APY)

  4. Additional yield source from Hyperliquid HLP (~17% avg. APY)

  5. Automated cross-chain arbitrage engine captures 8–15% rate premiums across lending markets

  6. All returns converted back → Paid in BTC

Technical Implementation

Withdrawal Mechanics

LcBTC → cbBTC / wBTC

Overview Withdrawals from the BTC vault are request-based and resolved manually by the Edge Capital team. Requests do not expire and can be accumulated.

Key Mechanics

  • Request submission:

    • Submitting a new withdrawal increases the existing request amount.

    • You may have up to two active requests at the same time, one for cbBTC and one for wBTC.

  • Asset handling during withdrawal:

    • Upon requesting a withdrawal, LcBTC is transferred to the vault.

    • Once the request is resolved, you receive cbBTC or wBTC.

  • Cancellation:

    • You can manually cancel a withdrawal by calling cancelRedeemRequestOfAsset.

  • Timeouts:

    • Withdrawals do not time out.

  • Settlement:

    • Requests are solved by the Edge team.

  • Fees:

    • No withdrawal fees apply.
