What is Strip in one sentence?
A protocol that splits deposits into PT (principal) and STRIP (yield), routes 89% of yield to compounding, and uses 10% to buy back STRIP, a 1/10 structure that anchors token value to real yield indefinitely.
Do I lose yield when I deposit?
You exchange individual yield for STRIP exposure. Outcomes depend on system growth, STRIP pricing, and alignment.
Can I lose principal?
PT redemption is preserved, but principal remains exposed to underlying asset risk.
Is STRIP inflationary?
Emissions decay toward zero while buybacks persist, transitioning the system from inflationary to deflationary.
How are emissions routed?
By APR × TVL, rewarding productive capital.
Why give up my yield?
You trade linear individual yield for a share of collective, compounding yield. If STRIP appreciates beyond what you would have earned individually, the trade is favorable.
