YOGA - XY Finance

Y Pool does not put all the money into the Swapper. Instead, some of the asset goes to other DeFi protocol to earn yield. For example, pool on Ethereum puts 10%10\%10%
 of asset into Swapper to supply liquidity needed by X swap; another pool on BSC puts 20%20\%20%
 of asset into Swapper; the other puts 20%20\%20%
 on Polygon as well. Meanwhile, rest of the asset of each pool goes to lending protocol such as AAVE.
What YOGA does is find the best percentage, LLL
 , that maximizes the profit earned outside of Y pool while still being able to afford the liquidity needed by X Swap. For example, if there's $100m in Y pool in total, Y Pool moves certain ratio of $100m, say $80m, to strategy that earns yield according to the YOGA, which finds out the the LLL
 based on given parameters.
Let's have an example. First we need some assumptions such as:

And DDD

earning per day by YOGA if moving LLL
 of TVLTVLTVL
 to supply USDT on lending platform:
Earning=TVL⋅L⋅APY365Earning = TVL \cdot L \cdot \frac{APY}{365}Earning=TVL⋅L⋅365APY​
cost to withdraw supplied asset in lending platform back to pool supporting liquidity in one day would be:
Times of Rebalance=max(D⋅[R−(1−R)]TVL⋅(1−L), 0)Times\ of \ Rebalance = max(\frac{D \cdot [R - (1 - R)]}{TVL \cdot(1-L)},\ 0)Times of Rebalance=max(TVL⋅(1−L)D⋅[R−(1−R)]​, 0)
Cost=max(Times of Rebalance⋅C,0)Cost = max(Times\ of\ Rebalance  \cdot C, 0)Cost=max(Times of Rebalance⋅C,0)
By RRR
 it means every pool is not able to make ends meet. In this case, users are more likely to withdraw money from one chain instead of deposit so that XY Protocol would have to continuously put back liquidity. Thus we set RRR
 to 80%80\%80%
 to represent the worst scenario on each chain.
And net profit per day:
Net Profit=TVL⋅L⋅APY365−max(D⋅[R−(1−R)]TVL⋅(1−L)⋅C,0)Net\ Profit = TVL \cdot L \cdot \frac{APY}{365} - max(\frac{D \cdot [R - (1 - R)]}{TVL \cdot(1-L)} \cdot C, 0)Net Profit=TVL⋅L⋅365APY​−max(TVL⋅(1−L)D⋅[R−(1−R)]​⋅C,0)
We could find which LLL
 that leads to maximum Net ProfitNet\ ProfitNet Profit
 by differentiating LLL
 .
Pulling in all the numbers from table above, do the math and we have:

We may earn more yield and get all the swap fee at the same time owing to YOGA, which leads us to the best way of utilizing asset. Note that it is the worst case of Bonus APY! Since we are being conservative in numbers and in fact the frequency of withdrawing from lending platform should be much lower. It is impossible for RRR
  to be greater than 50%50\%50%
 on all chains at the same time and volume should be separated to each chain accordingly. Therefore, the bonus APY would be a lot higher than results above.
If charging 0.1% of swap amount as fee, APY of collecting fee would be 
10,000,000⋅0.1%=10,00010,000,000 \cdot 0.1\% = 10,00010,000,000⋅0.1%=10,000
APYfee=10,000⋅3655,000,000⋅3=24.3%APY_{fee} =\frac{10,000 \cdot 365}{5,000,000 \cdot 3} = 24.3\%APYfee​=5,000,000⋅310,000⋅365​=24.3%
YOGA then brings at least  7.79%+4.05%+1.70%24.3%=55.7\frac{7.79\%+4.05\%+1.70\%}{24.3\%}=55.724.3%7.79%+4.05%+1.70%​=55.7
