Overview

What is Tapio ?

Tapio is an asset protocol that creates Self-Pegging Assets (SPAs) - stable assets powered by robust AMMs that automatically generate returns while maintaining their value. SPAs use advanced mechanisms like dynamic fees, volatility protection, and protective buffers to stay stable even during volatile market conditions. Each SPA earns yield from multiple sources including trading fees and underlying asset rewards, while enabling low-cost swaps between related assets and seamless integration with other DeFi protocols.

Tapio's Self-Pegging Assets (SPAs) combine multiple innovative mechanisms to bring benefits to users

What Makes Tapio Different?

• Low Slippage Trading: Optimized for pegged asset pairs, offering efficient and predictable swaps.

• Permissionless Pool Creation: Anyone can create a liquidity pool without any approval.

• Reduced Impermanent Loss: Designed for closely pegged assets, lowering risk for liquidity providers.

• Sophisticated Governance: Multi-layered role system with clear separation between infrastructure upgrades, policy management, operational tuning, and emergency response for balanced security and operational efficiency.

• Sophisticated Buffer/Loss Absorption: Protocol reserves automatically absorb market shocks through configurable buffer system, with negative rebase capabilities to handle bad debt without immediately impacting LP holders.

• Advanced Fee Mechanisms for Peg Maintenance: Multi-layer protection combining dynamic fees based on pool imbalance with volatility fees that respond to oracle rate changes, maintaining asset pegs during market stress.
