Alpaca Finance is a yield farming protocol.
Thus, Alpaca Finance was born, seeking to provide value to the BSC community through leveraged yield farming. Alpaca was launched as an authorized fork of the Alpha HomoraAlpha Homora project (Alpha Finance Lab) on BSCBSC.
Alpaca Finance is lending protocol allowing leveraged yield farming on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). It helps lenders earn safe and stable yields, and offers borrowers undercollateralized loans for leveraged yield farming positions, vastly multiplying their farming principals and resulting profits.
Yield farmingYield farming is an innovativee DeFi concept where users stake or lend their crypto assets in order to receive returns.
Alpaca has leveraged farming integrated with PancakeSwap and MDEX.
There are three types of members: Lender, Yield farmer, Liquidator.
• Liquidator (Erin): monitors the pool for leveraged farming positions with Safety Buffers at 0 (when equity collateral becomes too low, thus approaching risk of default) and liquidates them (bots only). For this service, she takes a 5% reward from the liquidated position. At Alpaca, we also have an in-house bot for this which uses 100% of this fee for a buyback and burn of the ALPACA token.
For example,
For example, she deposits her BNB into Alpaca's lending vault, in return she receives ib-BNB (which represent her share of the pool, and accumulate interest). Interest is accumulated as rewards in Alpaca tokens. When she wants to get her BNB back, she will exchange ib-BNB again, earning BNB+interest in Alpaca tokens.
Alpaca mechanics
• Farmer (Bob): uses borrowed funds from the vault (leverage) on his deposit, and opens a position, for example, on a pair of BTC/BNB (by default, long), in order to get a higher profit.

These assets are then offered to yield farmers for leveraging up their positions. This is the safest way to make a profit in the scheme.
