YieldPoint has five core operation flows: UTY deposit (direct on Base), yUTY deposit from a spoke chain, UTY redemption, yUTY redemption, and cross-chain redemption. This page walks through each one. All cross-chain flows show the spoke column generically as “Spoke chain” — the flow is identical whether the user is on Avalanche or Katana.Documentation Index

UTY deposit
The simplest flow. You deposit USDC on Base, the UTY vault mints UTY 1:1, and the USDC is swept to the custodian wallet.User deposits USDC
You call
deposit(assets, receiver) on the UTY vault with an equal amount of USDC pre-approved.Vault mints UTY
The vault mints UTY 1:1 against the deposited USDC. No share price math — UTY maintains a strict 1:1 peg with USDC.
yUTY deposit (cross-chain)
From a spoke chain, you deposit UTY into the yUTY vault. The call routes through the spokeVaultInterface, over LayerZero to the hub composer, into the vault, and the resulting yUTY shares bridge back to your address on the spoke.
User deposits UTY on spoke
You call
deposit(assets, receiver) on the spoke yUTY VaultInterface with an equal amount of UTY pre-approved. The interface deducts its flat deposit fee and forwards the remaining UTY cross-chain.Composer executes on hub
The UTY OFT relays the message via LayerZero to the hub composer. The composer’s
lzCompose handler calls deposit on the yUTY vault on your behalf.There is no cross-chain UTY deposit flow. UTY can only be minted on Base by depositing USDC directly to the UTY vault. Once minted, UTY can be bridged to spoke chains and used to mint yUTY cross-chain via the flow above.
UTY redemption
UTY redemption uses a 7-day async bonding path. You callrequestRedeem on Base, the vault burns your UTY and creates a WithdrawalRequest with unlockTime = now + 7 days. Once the bonding period elapses, you call redeemById(requestId) to receive USDC from the vault’s on-chain buffer.
UTY redemption is Base-only. To redeem UTY for USDC you need to be on Base. If you hold UTY on a spoke chain, bridge it to Base first, then call
requestRedeem on the hub vault.yUTY redemption
yUTY redemption is instant on the hub chain. You callrequestRedeem, the vault burns your shares and creates a WithdrawalRequest with no bonding delay. The matching redeemById(requestId) call is available in the same block and transfers the underlying UTY to you.
ERC-7540 flow, no bonding delay. yUTY still follows the ERC-7540 async pattern with separate request and claim calls, so off-chain tooling built against the standard works unchanged. The bonding period is a vault configuration; it’s currently set to 0, which makes the claim call available immediately. When shares are burned at request time, the exchange rate is locked — any yield accrual between request and claim accrues to remaining shareholders.
Cross-chain redemption
From a spoke chain, requesting a yUTY redemption is a two-phase flow. The request sends the redemption cross-chain to the hub, where shares are burned. The claim is a separate spoke-originated transaction that instructs the hub composer to settle the withdrawal request and bridge UTY back to the user on the spoke. The request phase looks like this: Once the hub-side request confirms (typically 10–60 seconds via LayerZero), the claim phase routes back through the spoke interface and composer: The composer holds theCOMPOSER_ROLE on the vault, which allows it to act as an operator for any user’s claim. The spoke VaultInterface maintains a per-user pending-claims counter that prevents double-spending of claim credits.
