# fija Strategies

#### fija Yield Strategies: Operational Overview

fija provides **institutional-grade yield infrastructure** through a suite of **automated**, **rule-based strategies.** By bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized protocols, we enable partners to access DeFi yield through a secure and transparent smart contract framework.

#### 1. Technical Architecture & Execution

* **Smart Contract Foundation:** All fija strategies are built as individual smart contracts, with each contract representing a unique investment logic.
* **Vault Interaction:** Partner-facing Vault contracts interact directly with these strategy contracts in order to deposit funds into a strategy.
* **DeFi Deployment:** The strategy contract then automatically deposits the funds (crypto assets) in decentralized finance (DeFi) Web3 applications, such as lending protocols, staking applications, DEXs, or bridges for liquidity providing.
* **Yield Generation:** The goal is to earn money by providing liquidity to these applications. The apps in return pay “interests,” derived from the fees they charge their customers for lending, swapping cryptocurrencies, or using a proof-of-stake network.

#### 2. Deposit, Harvesting & Reinvestment

* **Investment Claims:** The apps to which the strategy contracts deposit funds provide "investment tokens" or grant a claim to the assets. These claims are held by the strategy contract.
* **Strategy Tokens:** The strategy contract distributes "strategy tokens" to the vaults. These tokens represent the claim on the underlying strategy and can be redeemed to retrieve funds from the strategy contract.
* **Harvesting & Reinvestment:** In given time intervals, the strategy contract harvests the fees paid out by the underlying apps. During this process, the strategy is rebalanced to achieve the initial distribution of funds into the underlying assets, resulting in the contract receiving more investment tokens.

#### 3. Rebalancing & Optimization

* **Rule-Based Allocation:** fija strategies use a regular rebalancing process to ensure optimal allocation of funds.
* **Operational Adjustments:** Rebalancing occurs at strategy-specific intervals. During this process, the strategy moves funds between different positions to ensure an optimal risk/reward profile, such as adjusting long vs. short positions or moving funds between different Liquidity Pools.
* **Trigger Mechanism:** Rebalancing, Harvesting, and Emergency mode functions are only triggered if the Strategy Smart Contract requests it based on pre-defined rules set with deployment or upon instructions from the Partner.

#### 4. Security & Capital Preservation

* **Emergency Mode:** In case of emergency (e.g., unexpected activities like a depeg) or if a strategy is discontinued, the strategy is set to “emergency mode.”
* **Capital Protection:** During emergency mode, all funds are retrieved from the DeFi protocols and stored in the strategy contract in the deposit currency. No profits are earned during this period.
* **Non-Custodial Integrity:** The holder of the fija token can retrieve their funds through the vault. fija does not have access to the funds at any time, even during emergency mode.

#### 5. Strategy Evolution & Timelocks

* **Proposed Updates:** A strategy for a specific vault can be changed by proposing a new strategy in the vault contract and informing customers.
* **Timelock Mechanism:** A timelock mechanism (defaulting to three days, though differing periods can be agreed upon) ensures customers have sufficient time to react.
* **User Choice:** During the timelock period, customers can choose to redeem their tokens or accept the upcoming change. After the period ends, funds are automatically moved from the old strategy to the new one via the vault.

#### 6. Profit Distribution & Partner Rewards

* **Reinvestment (75%):** Seventy-five percent (75%) of the generated profits are reinvested into the strategy, increasing the token price.
* **Service Fee (25%):** The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of profits are automatically allocated to a fija wallet.
* **Partner Share:** A share is allocated to the Partner. The Partner receives a monthly statement, and payments are made in either FIAT or crypto-assets based on preference.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://fija.gitbook.io/docs/overview/fija-strategies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
