# Strategies

Pecunity Strategies are the core product of Pecunity and the primary use case of the platform.
They enable users to generate returns in the DeFi space. There are two ways to participate:

Choose from a selection of pre-built strategies
Create a custom strategy using the Strategy Builder via drag & drop

Created strategies can also be published by the community and made available to other users.

Users can choose from published strategies

# Types of Strategies

Users can choose from different strategy types, each with its own focus and return profile. Most strategies aim to generate yields and display an expected annual percentage yield (APY).

# Long Strategy

Invests “long” in one or more tokens
Benefits from price increases in addition to generated yields

# Short Strategy

Invests “short” in one or more tokens
Benefits from falling prices in addition to generated yields

# Delta-Neutral Strategy

Goal: Generate yields while minimizing exposure to price fluctuations of individual tokens
Remains largely independent of overall market movements

# Risk Levels

In addition to type, strategies differ in their risk profiles:

Low Risk
- Expected return: ~5–10%
- More conservative strategies
Medium Risk
- Expected return: up to ~20%
High Risk
- Expected return: above 20%
- Highly speculative, should be used with caution

# Example Strategies Available at Launch

Strategy Name	Description	Est. APY	Risk
USD Yield Booster	Uses the decentralized perpetual exchange GMX on Arbitrum and Avalanche to provide liquidity with USDC and generate returns. ETH price risk is neutralized through hedging on Aave. Designed to achieve a delta-neutral yield primarily from trading fees, liquidations, and borrowing fees.	18–21%	Medium
Leverage-Yield with sUSDE	Combines stablecoin lending with leverage on Aave. The goal is to boost sUSDE yields by reusing collateral multiple times. Investors benefit from a compounding effect without having to add capital manually.	22%	Medium
*Leverage-Yield with sUSDE (E-Mode)*	Combines stablecoin lending with leverage on Aave with active E-Mode. The goal is to boost sUSDE yields by reusing collateral multiple times. Investors benefit from a compounding effect without having to add capital manually.	55%	High
Liquidity Provision with Hedging	Combines liquidity provision (LP) on Uniswap V3 with a hedging mechanism via perpetuals (e.g., on GMX, dYdX, or Perpetual Protocol). Designed to earn trading fees from LPing while mitigating impermanent loss with a hedge position.	22–28%	Medium
ETH-Backed Leveraged LP Strategy	This strategy has a LONG exposure on ETH and use ETH as collateral on Aave V3 to borrow stablecoins, which are paired with ETH in a concentrated Uniswap V3 liquidity pool.	40%	High
Cash-and-Carry Strategy	This strategy uses a delta-neutral position on the HYPE token to generate yields from the long and the short side of the market.	31,5%	High

Additional strategies will be continuously made available, allowing users to select the ones that best match their risk profile and yield expectations across selected tokens.

# Fee Model & $PEC Token

Each strategy execution incurs a fee, based on the transaction volume.
The utility token $PEC directly benefits from these fees:

If fees are paid in tokens such as USDT or USDC, a portion is converted into $PEC and then burned.
If fees are paid directly in $PEC, the fee is lower , but a small portion is still burned.

This ensures that with every strategy execution, the value and scarcity of $PEC are continuously supported in the long term.
