What is Altura?**  Altura is a multi-strategy yield protocol deployed on **Hyperliquid**.\ Users deposit USDT into a single vault, and Altura allocates capital across diversified, hedged, on-chain strategies designed to generate sustainable returns. ## **2. What networks does Altura support?** Altura operates natively on **Hyperliquid** and also available on other networks All supported tokens and networks in Altura ecosystem \ All deposits, withdrawals, strategy execution, and PPS updates occur on the Hyperliquid chain. ## **3. What assets can I deposit?** Altura currently supports **USDT deposits** into its primary yield vault. ## **4. How does Altura generate yield?** Altura generates yield through a diversified set of non-directional, economically grounded strategies, designed to perform across market conditions. Capital is allocated across three core strategy pillars: 1. Market Making & Liquidity Provision Altura provides liquidity across selected venues to capture bid–ask spreads and trading fees while maintaining neutral market exposure. 2. Funding Rate & Basis Arbitrage Yield is generated from structural inefficiencies between spot, perpetual, and futures markets through hedged, market-neutral positioning. 3. Real-World Asset (RWA) Strategies Altura allocates a portion of capital to asset-backed strategies tied to real economic activity, providing diversification beyond purely on-chain yield sources. All strategies are: * Hedged or market-neutral where applicable * Designed to avoid directional speculation * Executed with institutional risk controls * Verifiable through on-chain and operational reporting ## **5. How are yields reflected in my balance?** Altura uses a **Price-Per-Share (PPS)** model.\ As strategies generate yield, PPS increases.\ Your share count remains constant — your value grows automatically. ## **6. How often does PPS update?** PPS updates over time through an oracle with strict safety constraints: * movement limits * freshness checks * timestamp validation * authorized reporters only All updates are on-chain. ## **7. How do withdrawals work?** Withdrawals follow a dual-path system: ### **Instant Withdrawal** Processed immediately if the requested amount ≤ vault liquid balance. ### **Epoch Withdrawal** If the amount exceeds liquid funds, it enters the **current withdrawal epoch** and becomes claimable when the epoch concludes. ## **8. Is Altura a trading platform?** No. Users do not trade, open positions, or manage strategies.\ Altura is a **passive yield engine**, not an exchange or trading interface. ## **9. Can I verify Altura’s performance on-chain?** Yes.\ All strategies, balances, oracle updates, and vault accounting are fully visible on HyperEVM.\ Users can independently verify: * PPS changes * strategy activity * vault liquidity * share supply * asset flows Transparency is a core requirement of the protocol. ## **10. What risks should users be aware of?** Risks include: * smart contract vulnerability * strategy underperformance * oracle delays * liquidity constraints * counterparty risk from integrated protocols * Hyperliquid network-level risk Altura’s architecture minimizes but does not eliminate these risks. ## **11. Does Altura rely on emissions or inflationary APY?** No.\ Altura’s returns are derived **exclusively** from real economic activity not inflation, not printed tokens, not incentives. ## **12. Does Altura charge any fees?** Altura does not charge deposit or withdrawal fees.\ If performance fees are added in the future, they will be fully transparent and verifiable on-chain. ## **13. Who controls the protocol?** Altura uses a three-role governance structure: * **Guardian** - emergency pause authority * **Operator** - oracle reporting & execution * **Timelock Admin** - slow-moving configuration changes No role can unilaterally move user funds.
