  • Alpaca contract - borrows BNB to create leverage in vaults, optimally distributes the deposit and borrowed BNB in the BTC/BNB farming pool in equal shares, receives LP-tokens (liquidity pool tokens), then stakes, with rewards in Cake token: reinvests Cake every 30 minutes, maximizing companding through the sale of Cake in BNB, which (BNB) redirects to the BTC/BNB farming pool on the Pancakeswap.

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.
