Where this pod actually earns
Reference-price arbitrage
Every time SEMI5 moves against the pool, someone realigns it and pays the AMM fee to do so. Higher realized volatility, more realignments.
Wrap and unwrap flow
Entering and leaving the pod is never free. Those fees stay in the pod, and a quarter of them burns pSEMI supply.
Session gaps
While SEMI5 is closed the pod charges an extra 0.22% and collects a large corrective trade at the open.
Leverage demand
Borrowers pay 7.4% APR to farm this pod at up to 6×. That interest is paid to lenders and to the protocol.
Risk
- LVF positions are liquidated above 83.33% LTV. Because the collateral is a full-range LP, its value falls with the square root of price, which softens but does not remove the risk.
- Session gaps cut both ways. A large adverse move while SEMI5 is closed can move a healthy position into liquidation before the market reopens.
- Tokenized equities carry issuer and transfer-restriction risk that a purely on-chain asset does not. The pod cannot redeem what the issuer will not honour.
- Pods are immutable. Fee parameters cannot be changed after deployment.

Gap premium is live
SEMI5 is closed, so the pod charges an extra 0.22% on AMM trades. Fee income is elevated and so is stale-price risk on Monday.
Self-lending bootstraps the USDG market in the same transaction.
