🏦 Rho Liquidity Vault

Rho’s Liquidity Vault is a liquidity strategy designed for users seeking passive, high-yield returns in on-chain rate markets.

Last updated 18 days ago

By depositing USDT into the Vault, you become a liquidity provider for Rho Protocol’s vAMMs. In return, you receive a portion of the trading fees generated whenever traders open or close positions on the platform. Additionally, the Vault plays a role during liquidations, earning extra fees when these events occur.

Key Benefits:

  • Passive Income: The Vault continuously scans the rate markets to allocate capital to the highest-yield opportunities.

  • Minimum directional exposure: As our vault operates exclusively within the rates market, it does not carry direct exposure to crypto asset prices (such as BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT). The primary exposure is to interest rate fluctuations, and hedging mechanisms are in place to effectively manage this risk.

  • Institutional-Grade: Tailored for hedge funds, DAOs, protocols, and crypto-native traders seeking consistent returns.

  • Zero-fees approach: We don’t charge any fees on Rho Vault. You can deposit in Rho Vaults and enjoy the full APY with zero fees.

How It Works (Step by Step):

  1. Deposit: Allocate capital (USDT) into the Vault via Rho’s platform

  2. Deployment: The Vault distributes liquidity across Rho’s rate markets targeting the best risk-adjusted returns.

  3. Earnings: As trading activity occurs on the platform, the Vault collects a share of the fees.

  4. Liquidations: The Vault triggers liquidations on under-collateralized accounts and earn fees, therefore, boosting returns.

  5. Withdrawal: You can withdraw your share from the Vault at any time—there’s no lock-up period. Rho maintains a liquid reserve to enable near-instant withdrawals. In rare cases, more complex withdrawals that could affect the protocol’s operations may take up to two days. More information for Vaults depositors .
