1. Right so the concept is you use your JLP to make even more gains, concept clearly works for GLP.
This concept is part of our initial strategy, leverage. We are also developing additional strategies. These may not aim to generate more gains, but instead offer various risk profiles products for users.
2. What is the price of $GLP (can’t find the token on Coinmarketcap) and has $GLP price crashed due to blackswan events? If so, due to your protocol JLP could get rekt from people being overleveraged during a blackswan.
GLP was the main LP token of GMX before they moved to the GMX v2 model (GM tokens, individual pools instead of an index). GMX was launched in 2021 just before the bear market and had around $700 million TVL last year in May. As GLP was an index like JLP with Jupiter, market impact or black swan events do not influence the token price as severely as the market reacts. For example, the GLP price in December 2021 was $1.3 and dropped to $0.7 in June 2022 (around a 40% drop in price), compared to ETH dropping by 80% and Solana by 96%. However, it’s important to mention that JLP has Solana as an underlying asset among other coins, making it more volatile in nature. We understand this and, based on historical data, structure our target leverage to withstand more than a 40% price drop of JLP without adrJLP vault getting liquidated.
3. What are the exact types of strategies that you intent implement in your protocol, can you go into basic technical aspects and how these aspect would allow for higher ROI when compared to throwing JLP into MarginFi, KaminoFi, Drift etc.

4. Do you plan to adopt any new strategies to increase ROI on JLP that would beat competitors?
Kamino and others provide manual instruments to create and manage your own strategies. You can read more information in my previous reply: LFG Launchpad: Adrastea Finance, DeFi Strategies - #21 by businessmanager
As I mentioned before, the JLP future ecosystem consists of way more things than pure higher ROI. One great example that you can think of is Delta Neutral strategies, which allow you to stay neutral to the market (stay in USDC or USDT position) and still have a possibility to earn high JLP APY. You are not being exposed to volatile underlying assets of the JLP index and just earning pure yield. This does not provide a higher ROI but diversifies our risk products we offer to customers.
We have a list of strategies that we prioritize to launch on top of JLP, but we are not limited to JLP or even LP tokens. We are building automated and easy-to-use strategies across protocols and markets.
5. How do you aim to gain market share if your strategies don’t beat competitors?
From the experience on Arbitrum, innovations beat competitors. There was even a specific name created for the competition around GLP: GLP Wars. Protocols that were able to move fast and innovate by launching new strategies were able to keep or gain market share. This is what our team is built for; my co-founder 3figs works with the team on identifying/drafting new strategies, testing and trialing models of implementations, and assessing feasibility for the Solana market.
Hope that covers your questions
