What the protocol does not do
The things it will never claim.
The protocol creates no income from nothing and pays no interest. Collateral comes solely from participants, while growth in backing per token arises from fees and from the closing of positions created at a higher price. The protocol generates and promises no passive income.
No yield
Nothing is paid out of nothing. There is no interest, no reward for holding, no distribution. What rises by the rules is the cost of entry, not what a holder receives.
No promise about the market price
The protocol does not guarantee, support or target the market price of ASTRX. It sets the two boundaries of the corridor and leaves the rest to the market. The price can fall.
No buy-back
The protocol does not undertake to buy tokens back at any particular price. Redemption at the reserve’s proportional share is a property of the design, not a purchase.
No protection of volatile collateral
Where the reserve holds volatile currencies, their fall lowers the floor. The contract softens this and does not remove it.
No forecast
Everything on this site describes intent and mechanics. The market’s actual behaviour depends on circumstances beyond the protocol’s control.
No custody
Collateral is held in the contract, never by a person or a company. No one can move it except its owner, and no one can stop its owner from reclaiming it.
The list is the same in every document, on every page and in every post. When a description of this protocol contradicts it, the description is wrong.
