About AlfProtocol Airdrop
AlfProtocol Airdrop is a protocol for capital deployment on Solana for the purposes of liquidity provision and yield farming, both with and without margin of up to 200x. The protocol introduces its own versions of an invariant-based Automated Market Maker protocol for exchange operations and a money market for short-term loans.
AlfProtocol and Secretum are jointly giving away a total of 250,000 ALF + 2,000 SER to 50 lucky giveaway participants. Sign up for the giveaway and complete simple social tasks to earn entries. Also earn more entries for each referral. A total of 50 participants will be randomly selected to win 5,000 ALF + 40 SER each.

There are four sources of yield in Alf:
Interest rate paid by the borrowers who need short-term access to liquidity (this notion also includes arbitrageurs and other users of the flash loan functionality).
Leveraged protocol profit fee on auto-compounded yield rewards
Trading fees from AlfMM, the internal AMM DEX solution.
And token incentives nominated in the platform token (ALF), paid to incentivize liquidity provision in certain pools.
Technology
All of the components are fairly standard and represent well-known primitives:
- Liquidity pools
- Lending module
- Constant-product AMM
- DAO contracts
The future-proof flexibility is achieved by uncoupling the key components through standardized interfaces that allow enabling and disabling modules at discretion of the team and, later, the protocol DAO.
Yield Optimization
Constant-product AMMs suffer from what is called impermanent loss,— a loss that liquidity providers make when the quote price diverges from the one when they entered their position. When prices diverge, impermanent loss starts to accrue, which is amplified with leverage for a leveraged position, until the position is exited, de-leveraged, or liquidated.
Another solution (offered by Alf) would be to shift the borrowed capital into other types of positions when the market is moving, or automatically exit the position before a loss can grow out of proportion. This is maintained through oracle connections (to monitor prices on external markets and compare them with the AMM prices) and a flexible pool of alternative strategies that the risk-seeking investors can subscribe to.
Liquidity pools
Each liquidity pool is dedicated to its own asset and is treated separately for the purposes of calculating pool utilization and interest rates. Whenever a liquidity provider enters a pool with a deposit, the protocol mints LP tokens representing the share of aggregate deposits. Fees captured by the pool (i.e. interest paid by the borrowers and by the Leverage Protocol users) are added to the pool of underlyings, without diluting share value. Whenever a liquidity provider wants to exit the pool, they burn their shares and receive the pro rata portion of the underlyings, which grew with each interest and fee payment.
