# 50/50 Wide

*A Covenant Market type with conservative leverage and a wide price band for volatile collateral.*

The **50/50 Wide** market is a Covenant Market for volatile collateral where lower leverage and a wider safety buffer are preferred: major crypto assets (BTC, ETH, MON, HYPE), long-tail tokens, and newly launched assets without an extended price history. Deposits are split into a Yield Coin (senior, \~4% target yield) and a Leverage Coin (junior, \~2x leveraged exposure to the collateral's NAV returns). The wide price band absorbs price volatility in the underlying; the 50% senior / 50% junior split absorbs twice the loss buffer of the 80/20 configuration.

## Market characteristics

* High Yield Coin price volatility and swap slippage
* \~2x Leverage Coin neutral structural leverage
* Minimum buffer: 20%
* Broad yield and price bounds

*The wide band lets the Yield Coin discount deeply at low LTV (to \~0.80 of NAV, implying extreme funding rates off-chart) and trade above par at high LTV. Above the Max LTV gate (90%), workout pricing takes effect (not shown).*
