Project Introduction
PERQ is a community bootstrapping infra provider that brings Supercharged Launchpools on-chain, enabling protocols to raise from and align with their communities. Stake your idle capital on ETH Mainnet, Sonic, and Base, and exchange your yield towards your favorite upcoming projects to earn guaranteed airdrops on launch day.
We’ve recently expanded on this initial product and have gone live with our two Pods:
These are ecosystem-wide Launchpools, enabling one-click exposure to an entire ecosystem’s pre-TGE projects.
How Does It Work?
Deposits in PERQ Pools and Pods are placed into vaults powered by various blue chip DeFi protocols. These vaults generate yield that is continually streamed to the project offering the Pool or to the projects comprising the Pod.
Your idle assets are put to work in favor of the projects you choose to support, enabling those projects to reward users with tokens they love in return.
PERQ Pools and Pods are built on a heavily audited blue-chip DeFi stack.
- The underlying vaults are created via the Yelay factory contracts.
- Yelay is a battle-tested DeFi middleware, with 5 independent audits from:
- Trail of Bits
- Chainsecurity
- Quantstamp
- PeckShield
- Omniscia
- It also maintains an active ImmuneFi bug bounty.
The vaults exclusively leverage blue-chip, battle-tested DeFi platforms, including:
- Aave
- Compound
- Curve
- Silo
- Euler
- Convex
- Morpho
- Lido
- Gearbox
- Frax
Team Information
The PERQ team consists of 5 semi-anon DeFi builders from the early DeFi days in 2020. What started as a fun idea inspired by the airdrop meta has quickly evolved into a serious project.
Following the deployment of our MVP, which reached a peak TVL of $25M, the PERQ team doubled in size and now continues building full-fledged infrastructure to support our Economic Restaking model — encompassing:
- Pods
- Treasury Management
- Metapools and more!
Proposal for a PERQ-Managed Silo Vault
We propose the creation of a PERQ USDC Sonic Vault on Silo, with a 50% performance fee redirected in its entirety to the PERQ Sonic Pod.
Structure:
- Silo users who deposit in this vault:
- Keep 50% of the yield generated by their capital
- The remaining 50% of yield is directed to the projects participating in the PERQ Sonic Pod
- Yield directed to these projects is converted into tokens upon each project’s TGE
Why This Works:
This setup introduces a speculative upside for Silo users, allowing them to:
- Speculate on project token performance instead of just stable yield
- Retain half the traditional APY
- Enjoy the same utility and exposure as depositing directly on perq.finance, from the comfort of a natively deployed Silo Vault
A high-performing token at TGE can significantly outperform a traditional stable yield, offering a unique value proposition for high yield-seeking DeFi users.
