In this article, we’ll dive into Flying Tulip’s architecture, products, tokenomics, and roadmap. Ready to explore the new benchmark for capital efficiency?

What is Flying Tulip (FT)?

Flying Tulip is an on-chain financial ecosystem that standardizes pricing, credit, and risk. It includes Spot (AMM + CLOB), lending, perpetual futures, insurance, and ftUSD settlement rail. Core principle: One collateral serves multiple roles. Revenues drive FT token buybacks and burns—a “token-first” model.

Better Yield: Collateral earns base yield while backing lending, CLOB orders, or futures margin. Revenues fuel buybacks. Better UX: Mechanics are contract-encoded; the same depth-aware prices power trading, LTVs, funding, and liquidations.

Problems and Solutions

Capital Isolation: Traditional DeFi silos collateral per product. Flying Tulip’s permissioned credit layer enables cross-collateral—one deposit secures multiple activities while continuing to earn yield.

Fragmented Liquidity & Static Pricing: x·y=k AMMs are reliable but produce wide spreads and volatility losses. Flying Tulip Spot uses a hybrid curve: constant-sum in calm markets (tight spreads), constant-product in stress (LP protection). Pricing comes from real executable liquidity.

USD-Centric Debt Assumptions: Lending risks are often USD-denominated. Flying Tulip supports asset-consistent borrowing and portfolio cross-margining—permissionless markets stay pair-scoped.

Centralized Dependencies: Perpetuals depend on external oracles. FT Futures uses internal trading (AMM + CLOB) for sub-second updates and depth-aware limits—eliminating oracle lag/manipulation risks.

System Design

Trading Engine: Spot (AMM + CLOB) – Pricing Backbone

• AMM: Transitions between constant-sum constant-product via volatility signals (EMAs). Pre-trade simulation, bounded impact, minimum reserves.
• CLOB: Price-time-priority limit orders.
• Router: Sweeps CLOB liquidity first, crosses remainder on AMM.
• Windows: TWAP (time-weighted), RWAP (reserve-weighted)—executable price and depth source for downstream systems (LTV, funding, liquidation).

Lending: Permissionless + Permissioned Cross-Collateral

• Permissionless: Every Spot pair auto-creates a lending market. Borrowing power is depth-aware from Spot windows. Snapshot LTV (locked at position open). Soft liquidation (time-sliced, depth-aware, CLOB-aware).
• Permissioned: Curated assets in one pool with cross-collateral. Debt-netting for delta-neutral structures (ftUSD)—near-zero liquidation paths within configured bounds. Single deposit earns yield while backing orders and futures margin.

Perpetual Futures: Oracleless, Depth-Aware

Internal trading serves as oracle. Leverage limits, liquidation sizing, slippage guards from TWAR windows (“How much X for Y clears in this interval without breaching reserves?”). Funding tied to Lend borrowing costs. Settlement in ftUSD; opt-in settlement LPs earn fees.

Settlement Rail: ftUSD / sftUSD

• ftUSD: Non-yielding (default), $1 peg. Protocol revenues from unstaked ftUSD.
• sftUSD: Staked ftUSD—earns yield (variable, not guaranteed).
• Structure: Delta-neutral, conservative sizing—balanced long/short.

Risk & Operations

• Policy: Conservative allocation (no leverage/bridge for treasury), per-asset/venue caps, circuit breakers, staged parameter changes.
• Execution: Pre-trade simulation, bounded fees (low in calm, high in stress), soft liquidation (time-sliced on Spot).
• Transparency: Addresses, parameters, windows (TWAP/RWAP/TWAR), utilization, fee schedules published. Audits and incident processes documented.

Programmatic Value Flow

All revenues (trading, lending, futures, insurance, settlement) feed FT buyback pipeline. FT distributed or burned per policy. Revenue-funded burns govern unlocks (Foundation/Team/Ecosystem/Incentives 40:20:20:20, 1:1). Interest-only burns directly reduce supply.

Insurance: Pay-as-You-Go Protection

• Model: Lending-like—premium paid only while active.
• LP: Supplies pool → earns premiums.
• Buyer: “Borrows” protection capacity, scales up/down.

Flying Tulip Roadmap

Development Cycle: Internal → Freeze → 3+ audits → GTM → Release.

Milestones (Dependency waterfall):

1. PCA: On-chain raise + Perpetual PUT.
2. Core Permissioned Stack: Lend, ftUSD, Leveraged Spot, Spot, Perpetual Futures.
3. Core Permissionless Stack: Adaptive AMM, Dynamic Lend, Permissionless Futures/Options.
4. Oracles & Apps: Witnessnet, Binary Prediction Markets, Launchpad, Insurance.

Estimated Timeline: 36-54 months (2-3 months per phase).

Vaulta’s Foundations and Vision 

Token is an Ethereum-compatible Layer-1 blockchain with high-speed infrastructure enabling one-block finalization per second. Its core vision is to provide users with Web3-powered banking and financial services, including: 

• Consumer payments and stablecoin integration 
• Asset management and staking solutions 
• Insurance products and risk management 

Tokenization of real-world assets 

Vaulta targets both individual and institutional users. Individuals benefit from secure savings, stablecoin payments, and insured staking opportunities, while institutions can tokenize real estate and commodity assets, access DeFi loans, and utilize payment solutions. 

Technology and Operations 

• Consensus and Transaction Speed :Vaulta enhances the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) algorithm inherited from EOS with its custom Savanna system. This allows instant block finalization, making transactions irreversible. 
• Chain Structure and Cross-Chain Support :Vaulta supports Bitcoin-compatible smart contracts via sidechains and the exSat solution. The Antelope IBC infrastructure enables seamless integration with other blockchains. 
• Network Resource Management :Users stake $A tokens to access network resources: CPU, RAM, and NET (bandwidth). Processing power depends on staking, and users receive a share of block rewards. 
• Insurance Mechanism :In collaboration with Blockchain Insurance Inc., Vaulta can insure user funds against specific risks—a rare feature in DeFi that differentiates Vaulta. 

Goals

Vaulta aims to create a decentralized banking infrastructure, making financial services fairer, more open, and globally accessible. Especially in unbanked regions, users can save, invest, and transfer money through Vaulta. 

Additionally, the platform supports tokenization of real-world assets, giving small investors access to large-scale investments. Through VirgoPay infrastructure, Vaulta offers fast and low-cost payments. 

Founding Team and Organization

Token was developed by the core team behind EOS. Key figures include: 

• Daniel Larimer – Founder, former EOS leader, founder of BitShares and Steem 
• Ian Grigg – Co-Founder 
• Block Pierce – Co-Founder 
• Brendan Blumer – Co-Founder 
• Yves La Rose – CEO 
• Ted Cahall – COO 
• Bart Wyatt – CTO 

Organizational Structure: 

• Vaulta Foundation – Governance and vision 
• Vaulta Labs – Developer community and tech infrastructure 
• Greymass & Vaulta Ventures – Ecosystem growth and project investments 
• Block Producers (BPs) – Network security and sustainability 
• The Vaulta Banking Advisory Council consists of both Web3 and traditional finance experts. 

Investors and Market

• Vaulta’s investors include significant names from both traditional finance and crypto: 
• Fosun Wealth – Testing regulated Web3 finance infrastructure in Hong Kong 
• Binance, OKX, Kraken, Coinbase – Increasing liquidity and user access 
• Block.one – Indirect support via investments during EOS era 

$A Tokenomics and Use Cases

Vaulta’s native token $A powers the network and provides benefits to users. 

Key Data: 

• Total Supply: 2.1 billion $A 
• Circulating Supply: 1.57 billion $A 

Use Cases: 

• Accessing network resources (RAM, CPU, NET) 
• Governance and block producer voting 
• Purchasing insurance products 
• Paying network fees and transaction costs 
• Providing liquidity for DeFi applications 

Staking Rewards: 

• Approximately 85,600 $A daily 
• Around 17% APY 
• Rewards balanced with 4-year halving intervals 

Vaulta ($A) Token Distribution 

• Token Swap: Old EOS tokens are exchanged for new Vaulta ($A) tokens at a 1:1 ratio. This means that EOS’s original distribution model continues to apply for Vaulta. 
• Staking Rewards: A new regulation has been introduced to incentivize long-term token holders. Under this system, 250 million tokens are allocated for staking rewards. These rewards will be distributed according to a halving schedule every 4 years. 
• Preservation of Distribution: The token swap does not alter the existing token supply, allocations, or vesting schedules. This ensures that EOS’s economic framework continues unchanged under Vaulta.

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) presented the proposal in a Technical Advice report to the European Commission on March 27. Unlike traditional asset classes such as stocks and real estate, which have lower capital requirements, crypto assets would need to be fully backed.

“EIOPA considers a 100% haircut in the standard formula prudent and appropriate for these assets in view of their inherent risks and high volatility,” the authority stated.

Why the 100% Requirement?

The 100% capital charge is based on the assumption that crypto prices could drop completely. EIOPA noted that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) have previously seen declines of 82% and 91%, respectively. This is significantly higher than the capital requirements for stocks (39%-49%) and real estate (25%), according to Commission Delegated Regulation 2015/35.

EIOPA offered four options for the European Commission:

1. Make no changes.
2. Implement an 80% stress level for crypto holdings.
3. Implement a 100% stress level (EIOPA’s recommendation).
4. Broaden the approach to include risks of tokenized assets.

“An 80% stress to the value of crypto-asset exposures does not appear sufficiently prudent,” EIOPA stated, emphasizing the need for 100% backing.

Impact on Insurance Markets

The proposed regulation would mostly affect insurers in Luxembourg and Sweden, which account for 69% and 21% of all crypto-related insurance undertakings. Other impacted nations include Ireland (3.4%), Denmark (1.4%), and Liechtenstein (1.2%).

Most of these holdings are structured within funds, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and held on behalf of unit-linked policyholders.

Future of Crypto in Insurance

Despite proposing a 100% capital requirement, EIOPA acknowledged that broader adoption of crypto assets may require a more differentiated approach in the future. As the sector evolves, further regulatory adjustments could be introduced.
