What can I do with Arkis?

Arkis empowers Asset Managers with an infrastructure to power advanced capital-efficient asset management. Whether you’re looking to amplify your DeFi yields, withdraw collateral seamlessly, or bridge CeFi and DeFi markets, Arkis provides the tools and infrastructure to execute four main categories of trades:

1. Margin Trading via Arkis Margin Accounts:

Use your yield-bearing collateral (e.g. USDe, sUSDe, USR, other liquid staking tokens) — or even a portfolio of such tokens — to unlock leveraged exposure:

• Leverage yield-bearing tokens: Deposit a yield-bearing stablecoin as collateral, borrow USDC/USDT/ETH from the Arkis pool, and immediately convert the borrowed funds back into more yield-generators within the same Margin Account.

• Curve LP recursion

  1. Use LP tokens as collateral → borrow USDC

  2. Supply borrowed USDC to another Curve pool.

  3. Stake all tokens on Convex via Arkis Margin Account.

• Pendle margin trading: Collateralize Pendle PTs or LP tokens (single-asset PTs, mixed PT/LP portfolios) to borrow stablecoins or ETH, then deploy the borrowed assets into Pendle markets — all within Arkis Margin Accounts.

2. Overcollateralized Withdrawal Trades

1. Supply collateral to open a Margin Account.

2. Borrow up assets from the pool such that the borrowed amount < the collateral value.

3. Withdraw the borrowed funds directly to your external wallet.

Example: Deposit $1 worth of yield-generating collateral (lvlUSD, for example), borrow $0.8 and withdraw that $0.8 to your wallet. Unlike margin trading, here you must maintain an overcollateralized ratio since the borrowed assets leave Arkis Margin Account.

3. CEX-DEX Portfolio Margining Trades

Arkis acts as a Direct Market Access prime broker on CEXs (OKX, Binance, Bybit), enabling true cross-venue margin:

• Delta-neutral Curve LP strategy

  1. Collateralize Curve LP → borrow USDC from Arkis

  2. Withdraw USDC to your Binance sub-account within Arkis.

  3. Open short perpetual futures in ETH/USDC and BTC/USDC or any other coins your LP token contains to hedge directional risk.

• Leveraged multi-token strategy

  1. Collateralize weETH, stETH or lBTC yield tokens → borrow USDC.

  2. Split borrowed USDC: half for additional wETH/stETH/lBTC, half for a 2× short ETH/BTC futures hedge.

  3. Achieve a leveraged “delta-neutral Ethena” or similar structured product that generates yield from DeFi spot and funding.

• Pendle CEX hedge: Use ETH/BTC Pendle PTs as collateral, borrow USDT, withdraw to CEX, and hedge both ETH and CRV exposures via perpetuals — all held under Arkis portfolio margin.

By combining onchain collateralization with off-chain futures hedges, you increase capital efficiency and significantly lower liquidation risk as Arkis sees both legs of your transaction (CEX and DEX).

4. Collateralizing Non-Ethereum Assets via Wrapping

Arkis supports wrapped or bridged versions of non-ETH assets, allowing you to tap into diverse liquidity pools:

• Jupiter Liquidity Pool (JLP) on Solana — wrapped through Arkis, JLP tokens can be used as Arkis collateral.

• HYPE token — wrap with Arkis HYPE to borrow stablecoins or ETH against it.

This flexibility enables you to deploy Arkis strategies across multiple chains and token ecosystems while still benefiting from the unified margin and risk framework

A good example of a delta-neutral wrapped trade with Arkis is "Delta-Neutral JLP":

1. Wrap JLP tokens with Arkis to gain arkisJLP.

2. Use arkisJLP as collateral to borrow USDC.

3. Split USDC 50/50: 50% is used to buy more JLP, and the rest is sent to the Binance sub-account with Arkis to hedge BTC, ETH, and SOL exposure in JLP tokens.

4. Achieve leveraged JLP strategy with low liquidation risk, as Arkis sees hedged JLP as a delta-neutral position.
