Up to 10x Leverage Yield Farming in GMX

Whitelisted investors are able to open a leverage position in Archi Finance. To protect the collateral assets, a delta-hedged strategy will be implemented in Archi v1.
Due to the nature of GLP, investors always face the risk of losing their native tokens when prices fluctuate. Archi Finance allows users to borrow funds in a delta-hedged way, which helps prevent such situations while also earning ETH rewards on GMX.
Delta hedging is a strategy used to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with the price movements of the underlying asset. The basic idea behind delta hedging is to hold an offsetting position in the underlying asset to balance the price movements in the options position.
There are two delta hedged strategies in Archi Finance:
50:50 strategy - The portfolio created by farmers consists of 50% stable coin and 50% unstable coin.
Identical to GMX strategy - The ratio between stable coin and unstable coin within the portfolio is the same as that of GMX.
The two graphs below demonstrate the difference between buying GLPs using Archi and GMX. Investors will no longer have to worry about losing their native tokens when prices fluctuate while earning a high yield in ETH.
Example: Amy wants to take a 10x leverage position in Archi Finance by depositing 5 ETH. She will borrow 20 ETH and 25 ETH worth of USDC from the supplied pool and use the funds to buy GLP. This will allow her to take both long and short positions equally and remain immune to price fluctuations. As a result, she will not suffer any IL from GLP due to price movements while earning a high yield.
All fees required to buy and sell GLP are paid by degen farmers.
The maximum length of each borrow is one year, and if the loan becomes overdue, it will be automatically liquidated.
The interests earned by degen farmers consist of two parts: the interest on all collateral assets and a portion of the interest on borrowed assets that is streamed from GMX.
The interest share will be varied through Archi DAO to encourage borrowing or repay.
Degen farmers can claim their earned interests and withdraw their collateral assets at any time. Withdrawing their assets means they repay their borrowings and stop farming. There will be a 48-hour cool down period before you open next position

Degen FarmerThe interest share is the percentage of profits from GMX that borrowers receive. For instance, if the interest share is 50%, then 50% of the interest generated from borrowed liquidity deposited into GMX will be awarded to borrowers. The interest share can be varied and determined by Archi DAO. If N is ratio of leverage
