<aside> 💡 This will serve as an introduction to Tranchess, providing you with a high-level overview of the key products and teach you how to use each one to your advantage.

At it’s core, Tranchess is designed to have a product suited for everyone, based on their risk appetite and needs. As such, we have our innovative 3-fund structure of QUEEN, BISHOP, and ROOK! The technical definitions, inner-workings and information will not be described here but can be found in our docs.
Each fund (QUEEN, BISHOP, ROOK) serves a particular type of user and aims to satisfy their risk appetite.
Important Note: If you want to switch between the Ethereum and BNBChain Networks, the Tranchess page will automatically detect which network your wallet is connected to and switch between funds.

*Negative APY indicates the funding rate > total yield | | Key Features | No Forced Liquidation Due to the innovative tranche structure of Tranchess, ROOK has a special feature of there being no forced liquidation. Pricing of ROOK will be reflected via its net-asset value and will change according to market prices. Learn more about ROOK in the documentation page for more technical information.
Low Funding Fee The overall fee a users will end up paying as funding is very low, where the APY itself from staking ROOK will negate the funding fee in fact! The funding fee itself has fluctuated between 1-4% APR, almost 70% cheaper than average annual funding rates of Centralized Exchanges. In the end, by staking ROOK, you will pay 0 funding when taking into account staking APY.
Stake to Earn CHESS By staking ROOK, you will be earning CHESS as well as benefitting from our PoS Validator Nodes. This way you can both benefit from market price appreciation via leverage and still continuously earn yield. |
