What is Alchemix?

Alchemix is a platform creating yield-backed synthetic tokens that users can acquire in exchange for locking collateral in the Alchemix system.

How does Alchemix work?

The below diagram shows how Alchemix works. Traders/ users generally:

• Make a deposit (collateral) into the Alchemix ecosystem.
• Up to 50 percent of the deposit or collateral’s value will be available as loans.
• The deposit earns interest over time that automatically repays the loan.

What are Alchemix’s features?

Vaults: Alchemix offers Vault that acts as a hub for depositing and lending assets. This feature is also similar to the other lending platforms such as AAVE and MakerDAO. The Vault accepts DAI and ETH as the collateral type.

Transmuter: which follows a primary pegging mechanism for their synthetic tokens. The Transmuter ensures that all participants get a 1:1 redemption of the alUSD for DAI tokens.

Farming: Alchemix offers yield farming and farmers will be rewarded ALCX tokens, which will have governance voting rights in the ecosystem.

Why is Alchemix (ALCX) unique? 

Repaying crypto debts automatically: Every DAI/ ETH deposited in the Alchemix smart contract is routed to the Yearn vault from which users start earning yield immediately. Alchemix utilizes yields earned from deposits from lenders to pay back their users’ debts. The longer traders keep their deposits, the greater yields they will earn, and subsequently, the greater amount of loans will be paid back.
