Unitas Overview

1. General Overview

Unitas is Unipay’s on-chain “dollar + yield” stack, built first and foremost on a JLP delta-neutral (dn) arbitrage engine. All other collateral and hedging layers sit on top of this core strategy.

2. The Jupiter Liquidity Provider (JLP) Pool

The JLP Pool supplies liquidity to traders on Jupiter Perps. Holders of the JLP token earn value from three sources:

  1. Index fund PnL – SOL/ETH/WBTC/USDC appreciation.

  2. Trader PnL – the pool gains when traders lose (and vice-versa).

  3. 75% of all fees – open/close, price impact, borrow, and trading fees, redeposited hourly.

Because fee flow dominates, the pool delivers a high USD-denominated APY that is largely uncorrelated to underlying volatile asset prices.


3. Delta-Neutral Arbitrage Strategy

Unitas purchases JLP as collateral and immediately shorts equivalent perps, locking in the revenue stream while offsetting price risk:

Result:

  • Market-neutral, bank-free yield – sourced from onchain trading demand.

  • Transparent – all positions and re-hedges are verifiable on Solana.

  • Scalable – strategy capacity grows with JLP TVL and perp volume.


4. sUSDu: Fee-Bearing Savings Token

Staking USDu mints sUSDu. Its exchange rate rises as the protocol redistributes:

  • JLP fee carry (primary revenue source)

  • Funding rate premiums from the short leg of the trade

  • Protocol fees (mint/redeem/liquidation)

Historical APR in stable conditions: 8 – 15 % (USD-denominated).
