Swap vs. Redeem

Choosing Between Swap and Redeem

Redeeming xlUSD

  • User receives underlying stablecoins
  • Protocol yield base decreases
  • User retains XCEL / XCEL+ but stops earning yield on redeemed capital

Swapping or Providing Liquidity

  • User remains liquid
  • Protocol retains productive reserves
  • Yield generation continues
  • System TVL remains intact

Redemption is always available. Remaining inside the system is simply more attractive.
