Alchemix

Alchemix has introduced a **Fixed-Duration Transmuter** that provides predictable price support for alAssets (alUSD and alETH). **How it works:** - Deposit alUSD or alETH and lock for a fixed period - Redeem 1:1 at maturity for underlying assets - Earn predictable, fixed-rate yield **Benefits for liquidity providers:** - Tighter peg stability - More reliable fee generation - Reduced volatility risk This upgrade builds on Alchemix's existing Transmuter system, which allows users to convert alAssets back to their underlying collateral at a guaranteed 1:1 ratio. The fixed-duration model adds time-locked certainty to the process.

Alchemix is migrating user funds from v2 to v3 contracts starting **February 6th, 2026**. The protocol will be offline for approximately one week during this transition. **Two options for users:** - **Automatic migration**: Leave funds in v2 and let the protocol handle the transfer. Treasury covers slippage over 0.25%, plus users earn Mana (share of 10k ALCX) - **Manual opt-out**: Withdraw funds before Feb 6th and redeposit after v3 launches During migration, the team will snapshot all accounts, secure funds in a migration multisig, and recreate positions in v3 contracts.
