Acumen is a multi-chain DeFi protocol that bridges the world of DeFi (Decentralized Finance) with Real World Assets (RWA), enabling users to seamlessly allocate crypto currencies to pools that provide stable attractive yield. By focusing on RWA to generate yield, Acumen both stimulates global economic activity and offers attractive and stable yields to stablecoin holders.
Acumen generates yield through its Fixed and Senior Pools. Acumen Senior pools allocate capital across the different Fixed pools, prior to being deployed in the Fixed pool the Senior pool can generate interest through decentralized finance. Acumen Fixed pools generate yield from real-world assets in various markets. The interest earned is then distributed to pool participants and liquidity providers at intervals determined by the terms of the specific pool.
To participate in the Acumen Protocol, users can deposit funds into either the Senior Pool or one of the Fixed Pools. The available pools can be browsed on the Stabledapp platform. Users can select a pool that interests them and may review available details such as investment highlights, repayment terms, borrower profiles, risk mitigation strategies, and recent investor activity. After deciding to participate in the pool, users will need to connect their wallet and deposit one of the supported stablecoins (USDC, USDT, or DAI) into their chosen pool to access the pool's coupon.
