01
Liquidity Bands[ ACTIVE ]
100 protocol-owned bands sell VRTX for USDC as price rises. Each crossed band locks in reserves controlled by the hook.
// THE ENGINE
Idle reserves become
productive capital.
Every crossed liquidity band locks USDC. Vortex puts that capital to work - earning yield, recycling returns, and burning VRTX.

HOW IT WORKS
02
Warm Reserve[ WARM ]
The nearest crossed band stays liquid for instant recall. If price retraces, reserves restore the band with zero lag.
03
Productive USDC[ PRODUCTIVE ]
Older reserves are deployed into yield strategies, turning idle USDC into working capital rather than sitting dormant.
04
Aave Yield[ AAVE ]
USDC is supplied to Aave lending markets. Accrued interest streams back to the protocol continuously.
05
Treasury Yield[ ETHENA ]
Treasury routes USDC -> USDe -> sUSDe via Ethena. Staking yield is harvested and converted back to USDC.
06
Buyback & Burn[ BURN ]
All harvested yield is used to buy VRTX on the open market and permanently remove it from supply.
Liquidity is always recallable. If price retraces, warm reserves restore the band instantly - no governance required.
// LIQUIDITY BANDS
100 bands. A programmed liquidity curve.
Vortex does not release VRTX through one passive liquidity pool. The full 1,000,000 VRTX supply is distributed across 100 protocol-owned liquidity bands. Early bands are narrow and VRTX-dense. Later bands widen into a scarcity tail where each new price zone requires deeper USDC demand.

BURN CADENCE
~48.7 days
to reach $1k yield threshold
Burn cadence assumes 5% Aave APY and estimates how many days the deployed Aave USDC needs to generate $1,000 of yield revenue. Once the threshold is reached, Vortex uses that $1,000 to buy back and burn VRTX.
// LIVE FLOW
Watch liquidity become productive capital.
Every swap moves VRTX through programmed liquidity bands. Crossed bands become USDC reserves. Older reserves deploy into yield, and realized yield feeds VRTX buyback and burn.
