Executive Summary
Falcon Finance is a next-generation synthetic dollar protocol that delivers sustainable yields through basis spread, funding rate arbitrage, and advanced risk-adjusted yield generation strategies. Unlike traditional synthetic dollar protocols that rely on positive basis or funding rate arbitrage, Falcon Finance broadens the scope by integrating diversified institutional yield generation strategies. This approach preserves the initial value of user deposits while delivering consistent, competitive yields even during challenging market conditions.
Built on principles of transparency, security, and institutional-grade yield generation, Falcon Finance establishes a new benchmark for synthetic dollar protocols.

1. Introduction
Traditional synthetic dollar protocols rely on limited yield strategies such as delta-neutral positive basis or funding rate arbitrage. These approaches struggle to maintain competitive yields during adverse crypto market conditions.
Falcon Finance introduces a new paradigm: an overcollateralized synthetic dollar designed to generate sustainable yields through diversified, institutional-grade strategies resilient across market cycles.
This article outlines Falcon Finance’s yield generation framework, its dual-token system (USDf and sUSDf), the minting and redemption mechanics, and the transparency and risk management measures that safeguard user assets.

2. Diversified Institutional Yield Generation Strategies
Falcon Finance employs a scalable and sustainable yield framework that extends beyond traditional delta-neutral strategies.
A core differentiator is its broad collateral acceptance. From inception, the protocol supports stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, and FDUSD, alongside non-stablecoin assets including BTC, ETH, and select altcoins. This strategy allows Falcon Finance to capture yield opportunities unique to different asset classes.
Altcoins, in particular, offer higher yield potential through native staking, farming incentives, and funding rate inefficiencies. To manage associated risks, Falcon Finance applies a dynamic collateral selection framework with real-time liquidity and risk assessment. Strict limits are enforced on less liquid assets to maintain protocol stability.
Falcon Finance further integrates negative funding rate arbitrage, enabling yield generation when perpetual futures trade below spot prices. By holding long perpetual positions while selling equivalent spot exposure, the protocol earns funding payments in market environments where traditional strategies underperform.
Additionally, Falcon Finance deploys cross-exchange price arbitrage, leveraging market segmentation inefficiencies identified by Makarov and Schoar (2018). Using institutional trading infrastructure, the protocol executes CEX-to-CEX and DEX-to-CEX arbitrage strategies, capitalizing on price discrepancies and funding variations.

The aggregated yield from Falcon Finance’s multi-strategy approach demonstrates superior performance compared to single-strategy models such as ETH-positive funding arbitrage. A balanced allocation—50% altcoins and 50% stablecoins—optimizes yield generation while maintaining stability across market regimes.

3. Dual-Token System with Overcollateralized USDf and Yield-Bearing sUSDf
Falcon Finance operates a dual-token architecture centered around USDf and sUSDf.
3.1 The Overcollateralized Synthetic Dollar – USDf
USDf is minted when users deposit eligible collateral into the protocol.
Stablecoin deposits mint USDf at a 1:1 ratio.
Non-stablecoin deposits (BTC, ETH, etc.) are subject to an Overcollateralization Ratio (OCR) greater than 1.
Overcollateralization Ratio Formula:
OCR = Initial Value of Collateral / Amount of USDf Minted, where OCR > 1
This mechanism mitigates market slippage and volatility, ensuring USDf remains fully backed.
Upon redemption:
If the market price is equal to or below the initial mark price, users reclaim the full collateral buffer.
If the price exceeds the initial mark price, redemption is capped at the original collateral value.
Illustrative Example:
A deposit of 1,000 Coin A at $1 with a 1:1.25 OCR mints 800 USDf, reserving 200 Coin A as collateral buffer.
---
3.2 The Yield-Bearing Asset – sUSDf
USDf can be staked to mint sUSDf, a yield-bearing token whose value appreciates over time as protocol yield accrues.
sUSDf represents a claim on USDf plus accumulated rewards, allowing users to realize yield upon redemption.
---
4. Minting and Redemption Mechanism
Figure 2: Falcon Finance Mint and Redemption Flowchart
4.1 Minting of USDf with Any Collateral
Users deposit eligible assets—including BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and FDUSD—to mint USDf. USDf functions as a store of value, medium of exchange, and unit of account.
---
4.2 Staking USDf to Mint sUSDf
Falcon Finance uses the ERC-4626 vault standard for transparent yield distribution.
Formula:
sUSDf Minted = USDf Staked / Current sUSDf-to-USDf Value
Example:
If total rewards increase the sUSDf value to 1.25 USDf, staking 200 USDf mints 160 sUSDf.
---
4.3 Yield Accrual
Yield generated from arbitrage and funding strategies increases the value of sUSDf relative to USDf.
Yield Distribution Formula:
User Yield = (User USDf Staked / Total USDf Staked) × Yield Distributed
---
4.4 Boosted Yields via Restaking
Users can restake sUSDf for fixed lock-up periods to earn higher yields. Restaking mints an ERC-721 NFT representing stake size and lock duration. Longer lock-ups receive higher yield boosts.
---
4.5 Redemption
Upon maturity:
NFTs are redeemed for sUSDf
sUSDf is burned for USDf
USDf can be redeemed 1:1 for stablecoins
Non-stablecoin depositors may also reclaim their overcollateralized buffer, subject to market conditions.
---
5. Risk Management and Transparency
Falcon Finance employs a dual-layered risk management framework combining automated monitoring and manual oversight. Positions are continuously evaluated, with risk actively unwound during volatile conditions.
User assets are protected using:
Qualified custodians
MPC and multisig wallets
Hardware-managed keys
Transparency measures include:
Real-time dashboards displaying TVL, USDf, and sUSDf metrics
Weekly reserve disclosures by asset class
Quarterly third-party audits
ISAE3000 assurance reports
All reports are publicly available to ensure accountability.
---
6. Insurance Fund
Falcon Finance maintains an on-chain insurance fund funded by monthly protocol profits. This fund acts as a buffer during negative yield periods and serves as a last-resort bidder for USDf in open markets, growing proportionally with protocol adoption and TVL.
