# Ecosystem Interstable and its AI Yield Engine, AIxFI, operate within the broader DeFi ecosystem. Our goal is to integrate with and analyze opportunities across multiple secure and innovative blockchains and protocols. ## Supported Blockchains (Initial Focus) * **Base (Primary Deployment):** Our MVP vault smart contracts will be deployed on Base as the primary platform, leveraging its low-cost transactions and growing DeFi ecosystem for optimal USDC yield strategies. * **Cross-Chain Rebalancing Infrastructure:** * **Intents-based Solutions:** Utilizing intent-based protocols to enable seamless cross-chain rebalancing and yield optimization * **Circle CCTP v2 (Exploring):** Leveraging Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol v2 for native USDC transfers across supported chains * **Target Yield Networks:** Our USDC yield optimization will initially focus on opportunities across: * **Ethereum Mainnet:** Access to established DeFi protocols and highest TVL USDC markets * **Base:** Primary deployment chain with native integration * **Layer 2 Solutions:** Arbitrum, Optimism, and other L2s offering competitive USDC yield opportunities * **Additional EVM Chains:** Expansion to other EVM-compatible networks based on yield attractiveness and USDC liquidity * **Yield Focus:** Initial concentration on USDC-denominated yield strategies across all supported chains, including lending protocols, liquidity provision, and yield farming opportunities that maintain principal stability while maximizing returns. ### Analyzed Protocols & Yield Sources AIxFI is designed to analyze a wide array of DeFi protocols and yield generation strategies for stablecoins. This includes, but is not limited to: * **Lending & Borrowing Markets:** Platforms like Aave, Spark Protocol, Fluid, where users can lend stablecoins to earn interest. * **Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs):** Liquidity provision for stablecoin pairs (e.g., Curve, Uniswap V3 concentrated liquidity for stable pairs, Velodrome/Aerodrome). * **Yield-Bearing Stablecoins & Staking Derivatives:** Assets that inherently accrue value or offer staking yields, such as Ethena's sUSDe (as an example of a strategy with lock-ups that AIxFI would analyze for risk/reward). * **Money Market Protocols:** Other platforms designed for stablecoin earnings and yield. * **(Future) Structured Products & Options Vaults:** More complex strategies that may be considered as AIxFI's capabilities evolve and the market matures. The specific protocols integrated into the ai**USD** stablecoin's portfolio (once launched) will be dynamically selected and managed by AIxFI based on its continuous risk-adjusted yield optimization process and will be transparently displayed. Interstable will maintain a rigorous whitelisting process for any protocol considered for direct integration. *(Note: This page will be updated as Interstable's ecosystem integrations and analytical reach expand.)* --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://interstable.gitbook.io/interstable/resources/ecosystem.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
