Alchemix Extends Transmuter Terms to 9 Months, Raises Exit Fees
馃攧 Transmuter terms just changed
Alchemix has announced significant changes to its Transmuter product in response to high demand:
Key Updates:
- Fixed term extended to 9 months across all chains
- Early exit fee increased to 3%
- Exit fees only apply to non-matured portions, scaling down as maturity approaches
- New deposit capacity opening from July 23rd as Phase One redemptions clear
The protocol reserves the right to modify caps, fees, and terms, with major changes announced via social channels. These adjustments aim to accommodate more users while encouraging positions held to maturity rather than early exits.
We have the right to change caps, fees and terms at any time. Major changes will be announced on socials. The Transmuter has been one of our most popular products with caps filling rapidly. These changes will allow us to offer fixed term yields to more users almost immediately.
We have also increased the Transmuter early exit fee to 3%. Fixed terms are intended to create positions held towards maturity and early exiting should not be the default. Exit fees only apply to the non-matured portion of your term, which scales down as you approach maturity.
We have set the Transmuter term to 9 months across all chains. This is in response to excessive demand that immediately fills deposit caps whenever space becomes available.
Phase One set up the improved Transmuter and ran its first full redemption cycle. As those redemptions clear, deposit capacity will begin to free up. Fresh space will start opening from July 23rd.
Alchemix Plans Uncapped Transmuter with Shorter Duration
Alchemix is working toward an **uncapped Transmuter** with **shorter duration transmutations** as its end goal. - The team expects this change will help the peg trade **much closer to par** - Trading range should be **significantly tighter** than current levels - This follows a May re-evaluation of Transmuter caps and durations The upgrade aims to make immediate transmutation more attractive than waiting, improving overall peg stability for the protocol.
馃攧 Alchemix v3 Enters Phase Two
Alchemix v3 is transitioning from Phase One to **Phase Two**, marking a shift toward sustainable growth. **Key Focus Areas:** - Increasing supply flow through the Transmuter - Steadily raising Total Value Locked (TVL) - Boosting the churn rate that v3 was designed to optimize The first major Transmuter cycle is wrapping up as the protocol moves beyond its initial launch phase. Phase Two aims to build on the foundation established during Phase One, focusing on long-term sustainability rather than rapid expansion.
Alchemix Ships Major v3 Documentation Overhaul
Alchemix has released a comprehensive update to its v3 documentation platform. **Key improvements include:** - Restructured navigation for easier browsing - Content accuracy review across nearly all pages - Addition of deployed contract addresses - New glossary term highlights and reading progress indicators - Refreshed visual design The documentation is available at [docs.alchemix.fi](https://docs.alchemix.fi). This update builds on previous documentation efforts from earlier this year, providing developers and users with more reliable technical resources for the protocol's self-repaying loan platform.
Alchemix v3 Transmuter Turns Discounted alAssets Into Fixed-Rate Yield
**The v3 Transmuter** is Alchemix's peg stability mechanism that converts discounted alAssets into their underlying assets at a 1:1 ratio. **How it works:** - When alAssets trade below peg, users can deposit them into the Transmuter - The protocol burns these alAssets and locks in today's discount - Users receive the underlying asset 1:1 at a predetermined maturity date - This creates a fixed-rate yield opportunity while supporting the peg Alchemix v3 launched with comprehensive audits from Spearbit, Cantina, Nethermind, yAudit, Immunefi, and independent researchers. The upgrade introduces 90% LTV vaults, new Mix-Yield Tokens, and the Fixed-Duration Transmuter. Liquidity providers benefit from tighter pegs, more reliable fees, and reduced volatility risk.
