Strategy overview
Provide PYUSD/USDC liquidity through Orca. Your position earns trading fees when users swap between the two pool assets.
- How it works:
- You deposit both pool assets into a DEX market. Traders swap against that liquidity, and the fees they pay accrue to liquidity providers; rewards may add extra yield.
- What you hold:
- LP shares representing your contribution to the PYUSD/USDC pool and the fees it has earned.
- Who runs it:
- Orca — live since 2021 · audited by 3 firms · no known incidents

Lower risk · Grade A
18/100
- Control over the protocol's code matters — upgradeable behind a multisig (threshold undisclosed).
- The strategy is more complex than plain lending — a two-token pool adds moving parts that can each go wrong.
- Where the return comes from adds risk — yield comes from trading fees.

What can go wrong
- If either asset loses its peg, the pool can leave you holding more of the weaker asset.
- Concentrated positions stop earning fees while the market price sits outside their selected range.

How we rate risk
Stablecoin strategies get a 0–100 risk score (lower is safer) built from three areas — Protocol (audits, incident history, track record and admin controls), Strategy (leverage, lock-ups, pool size and yield source) and Asset (the token's peg record, backing, and exit liquidity) — weighted by strategy type — and the weakest area can push the overall number higher (riskier) on its own. The score maps to a grade: A ≤ 22, B ≤ 35, C ≤ 50, D ≤ 70, E above. Grades compare opportunities within our stablecoin catalog — an A is the strongest thing we list (blue-chip stablecoin lending), not a promise of safety. Live events (an active depeg, a reported exploit, a sharp deposit outflow) override the score immediately. Where we lack data, the factor says so and scores cautiously. Non-stablecoin opportunities are not rated. A comparison aid, not advice.
Risk levels are Akashi's own assessment to help you compare opportunities — not financial advice or a safety guarantee. Every DeFi position carries smart-contract and market risk.
