Overview

Atomic operates a two-sided market: traders borrow liquidity to open leveraged positions, and lenders supply that liquidity in exchange for yield.

Lenders deposit USDC into the lending pool. This capital is used by traders as borrowed funds when opening positions. Lender yield is generated from two sources:

• Liquidity pool fees Earned while trader positions are active in the pool

• Protocol trading fees A share of the 20 bps charged on each position

In total, lenders receive 25% of all platform revenue, which translates to a current APY of 10-40%.

There is no lock-up period. Lenders can withdraw their USDC at any time, subject to available liquidity in the pool.
