(TULIP)

Leveraged Yield Farming allows users to borrow assets to increase their position size within farming pools. By using borrowed capital, users can amplify their yield-generating potential. Tulip enhances this process through auto-compounding, which frequently harvests and reinvests rewards to maximize efficiency. Additionally, users can utilize these pools to execute specific strategies, such as shorting an asset by borrowing the token they expect to decrease in value.

A liquidation occurs if a user's Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio exceeds the protocol's designated threshold. In such events, the position is automatically closed to repay lenders. Tulip charges a 5% liquidation bounty from the position's value during this process. After the debt is settled and the bounty is taken, any remaining collateral is returned to the user's wallet.

tuAssets, such as tuSOL and tuUSDC, are interest-bearing tokens issued to users who deposit funds into lending pools. They represent a proportional share of the pool and increase in value relative to the underlying asset as interest accrues. Tulip typically offers higher APYs than standard decentralized exchanges because it employs auto-compounding, which reinvests rewards more frequently than manual methods, effectively turning the APR into a higher APY.

The 'Instruction #3 Failed' error is often caused by interface or RPC connection issues; users can often bypass this by using alternative decentralized interfaces or tools. The 'Invalid arguments: tokenTo not provided' error occurs when claiming rewards without a destination account. To resolve this, users should ensure they already hold a small amount of the token in their wallet to establish the necessary token account for the transaction to succeed.

The TULIP token, with a maximum supply of 10,000,000, was originally designed for governance, allowing holders to vote on fee structures and vault additions. While the original protocol remains functional, the project is evolving into the 'Flying Tulip' ecosystem. This transition involves shifting focus toward a more comprehensive financial system, with ongoing discussions regarding how the original token will interact with or migrate to the new platform.

Flying Tulip is a significant evolution of the protocol, transforming from a yield aggregator into a unified on-chain financial system including spot, perpetuals, and insurance. A key innovation is the Perpetual PUT Option, which allows investors to redeem capital at a fixed rate through a smart contract, creating a hard price floor. It also introduces ftUSD, a delta-neutral stablecoin that generates yield from the protocol's cross-margin activities.
