How It Works
OrchardFi simplifies DeFi yield generation through automated, non-custodial strategies. Here's how the platform works from start to finish.
The OrchardFi Process
1. Connect Your Wallet
Connect your Phantom wallet to the OrchardFi platform. We support Solana-based wallets for seamless integration with our smart contracts.
2. Choose a Strategy
Browse our curated selection of yield strategies. Each strategy displays:
Current APY - Real-time yield performance
Total Value Locked - Assets currently deployed
Risk Level - Conservative, Moderate, or Aggressive
Historical Performance - Past returns over time
3. Deposit Assets
Deposit your crypto assets into your chosen strategy. Your funds are deployed to smart contracts - OrchardFi never has direct access to your assets.
4. Automated Yield Generation
Our algorithms work 24/7 to:
Execute trades at optimal times
Rebalance positions to maintain strategy parameters
Compound earnings automatically
Manage risk through hedging
5. Withdraw Anytime
Withdraw your principal plus earnings whenever you want. No lock-up periods, no withdrawal fees.
Behind the Scenes
Smart Contract Architecture
All OrchardFi strategies operate through audited smart contracts deployed on-chain. These contracts:
Hold user deposits securely
Execute strategy logic automatically
Distribute yields to depositors
Enforce withdrawal mechanics
Strategy Execution
Each strategy type has specific execution mechanics:
Delta Neutral
Automated hedging across spot and perpetual markets
Basis Trade
Arbitrage between spot and futures pricing
Yield Farming
Liquidity provision with auto-compounding
Funding Rate
Perpetual position management for funding capture
Fee Collection
OrchardFi charges a small management fee on strategy profits:
Fees are only collected on positive returns
Fee percentage varies by strategy (typically 10-15%)
All fees are transparently displayed before deposit
Security Model
Non-Custodial Design
Your wallet keys remain with you at all times
Smart contracts are the only entities that interact with deposited funds
No centralized database of user assets
Risk Management
Position limits prevent over-concentration
Automated stop-losses protect against extreme market moves
Regular rebalancing maintains strategy parameters
