Sigma Vault
The Sigma Vault is not yet live. Details below reflect the planned design and are subject to change before launch.
What is the Vault?
The Sigma Vault is a managed yield and airdrop farming product. You deposit USDC/USDT/USDe, and our trading engine deploys your capital across multiple perpetual DEXes using the same algorithms that run live on the platform — ladder market making, HFT scalping, delta-neutral funding strategies, and proprietary strategies not publicly available.
Your deposit earns yield from live trading activity and simultaneously accumulates airdrop points from each integrated protocol's reward programme and Sigma Engine Points — all in a single deposit.
How It Works
- Deposit — Minimum $500 in USDC, USDT, or USDe
- Capital is deployed — Sigma Engine's bots trade 24/7 across every supported DEX (Ethereal, 01 Exchange, Hibachi, Paradex, and more), acting as counterparty liquidity for traders on each venue
- Yield + Points accumulate — Trading profits pool and are distributed proportionally to depositors. Simultaneously, your capital farms airdrop points on every integrated protocol and earns Sigma Engine Points
- Collect bi-weekly — Yield payouts happen every 2 weeks. Points accrue based on your time in the vault and deposit size
- Token distribution — When any integrated protocol launches their token (TGE), your pro-rata share of accrued points is converted and tokens are sent directly to your wallet
Rebalancing
Sigma Engine continuously analyses yield and points conditions across supported DEXes. If a better risk-reward profile is detected — higher APY, newly credited points programmes, or improved liquidity conditions — capital is automatically reallocated to maximise performance. Rebalancing decisions are reviewed daily.
Expected Returns
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum target APY | 10% |
| Estimated APY | 40–60% (varies with market conditions) |
| Payout frequency | Bi-weekly |
Returns depend entirely on trading performance. The 10% floor is a target, not a guarantee. Historical live trading results suggest 40–60% APY is realistic in normal market conditions, but drawdown months can and do happen.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Trading involves risk, including potential loss of principal.
Fee Structure
| Fee | Description | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Yield fee | On net APY earned from trading | 15% |
| Airdrop fee | On airdrops received through the vault | 20% |
| Deposit fee | On USDC deposited | 0% |
| Withdrawal fee | On USDC redeemed | 0% |
All fees are automatically accounted for before returns are distributed.
High water mark means yield fees are only charged on new profits. If the vault drops and recovers, no fee is charged until it exceeds the previous peak.
Lockup & Withdrawals
- Lockup period: 15 days from deposit
- After lockup: Withdraw anytime
- Yield payouts: Bi-weekly, automatically credited to your vault balance Fast withdraw option: Withdraw times are processed bi-weekly, if you need to withdraw your money faster than our bi-weekly, you'd be forfeiting your yield which would be distributed to the rest of the users in the pool.
What Strategies Power the Vault?
The vault uses the same production strategies available on the platform:
- Ladder Market Making — Geometric order ladders capturing spread across price levels
- Oracle and Price Arbitrage — Catching price discrepancies between oracle feeds and on-chain orderbooks to capture profits.
- HFT Scalping — Sub-second entries on momentum signals
- Delta-Neutral Funding — Captures funding rate differentials across venues
Capital allocation between strategies is fully automated and adjusts based on market regime (trending vs ranging, volatile vs quiet).
Points & Airdrop Farming
Your deposit doesn't just earn yield — it farms points across every integrated DEX and earns Sigma Engine Points. Points accrue based on:
- Time in vault — The longer your capital is deposited, the more points you accumulate
- Deposit size — Larger deposits earn proportionally more points
- Protocol activity — Each DEX rewards liquidity provision differently; the vault captures all of them
When a protocol conducts its Token Generation Event (TGE), tokens are distributed to your wallet based on the points your deposit accrued on that protocol. You don't need to do anything — deposits farm, tokens arrive after TGE.
Sigma Engine Points
In addition to exchange-specific points, your vault deposit earns Sigma Engine Points. These are platform-native points that accrue alongside everything else — same time-based and size-based logic. Sigma Engine Points will have their own utility and distribution event separate from the integrated protocols.
Points programmes are controlled by the respective protocols, not Sigma Engine. Token distribution timelines and amounts are determined by each protocol at their discretion.
Early Depositor Benefits
Users who deposit during the launch window may be eligible for:
- 0% management fee for the first 30 days
- Bonus yield share for founding depositors
- Pro-rata distribution of any exchange incentives or rewards earned by the vault
- Priority withdrawal processing

Early depositors are recognized as founding participants. The platform reserves the right to offer additional benefits to early participants at its discretion.
