FLP Leverage Mechanics

How Leverage Works

When you leverage FLP.1 on Carrot Boost, you deposit FLP as collateral to borrow USDC, which the protocol uses to purchase additional FLP tokens, creating an amplified position.

The Process

1. Deposit FLP.1 as collateral

2. Borrow USDC against your FLP holdings

3. Protocol converts borrowed USDC to additional FLP

4. Enhanced yield generation from larger effective position

The Compounding Effect

• Original FLP earns trading fees from Flash Trade

• Borrowed funds purchase additional FLP tokens

• Additional FLP also earns trading fees

• Combined yield significantly exceeds base FLP returns

Current Parameters

Maximum Leverage: 3.4x for FLP.1 Borrow Rate: 14.68% APY Max Achievable APY: 78.8% Liquidation Penalty: 7%

Yield Calculation Example

With 3.4x leverage on FLP earning 35% base APY and 14.68% borrow costs:

Amplified APY = Base APY + (Leverage - 1) × (Base APY - Borrow Rate)
Amplified APY = 35% + (3.4 - 1) × (35% - 14.68%)
Amplified APY = 35% + 48.77% = 83.77%
