Hylo generates revenue through minting and redemption fees, as well as a percentage of the yield earned by underlying LSTs and borrow rates charged on non-yielding assets.

Revenue Sources

Collateral Yield

Native staking yield from yield-bearing assets (SOL LSTs).

Borrow Rates

Charged on non-yield assets (e.g. BTC).

hyUSD Fees

Dynamic minting and redemption fees.

xASSET Fees

Mode-adjusted minting and redemption fees.

Revenue Distribution

The yield allocation and treasury fee percentages are configurable protocol parameters, adjusted to balance depositor rewards with protocol sustainability.

Revenue Scaling

Revenue grows with:
  • Additional pools: Each new collateral pool contributes yield or borrow rate
  • Trading volume: Increased hyUSD and xASSET usage drives fee revenue
  • TVL: The protocol earns more as deposited assets grow
