Lobster

Introducing Lobster

Lobster is a non-custodial DeFi protocol designed to simplify and enhance crypto investment strategies. Built as an overlay for various underlying services like lending and liquidity providing, Lobster aggregates these tools to create fully automated, market-neutral strategies accessible through a single deposit. Its goal is to provide DeFi investors with optimized returns while minimizing risks and eliminating the complexity that often deters users from engaging in decentralized finance.

Lobster’s innovative approach focuses on overcoming two major challenges in DeFi: the steep learning curve and impermanent loss. Through advanced algorithmic models and concentrated liquidity pool technology, Lobster mitigates impermanent loss, allowing users to achieve higher returns without the need for continuous manual management. Investors can now deposit a single asset into a vault and leverage sophisticated strategies without dealing with the intricacies of traditional liquidity pools. Lobster’s strategy automation and robust risk management make it a game-changing solution for those seeking sustainable and profitable yield in the evolving DeFi landscape.

Features & Products

• Multi-layered Architecture: Lobster’s infrastructure consists of three key layers: the user interface (Lobster App), liquidity management (Lobster Vaults), and strategy execution (Lobster Algorithm), designed to optimize workflow and user interaction.

• Non-Custodial Vaults: The platform uses blockchain-based smart contracts to ensure secure, non-custodial handling of user funds, allowing only specific, predefined operations like liquidity provision on Uniswap V3 and lending on AAVE.

• Immutable Algorithms: Lobster’s algorithms run in autonomous virtual machines, which are immutable and self-contained, ensuring secure and consistent strategy execution based on market conditions.

• Single Asset Yield: Lobster’s vaults are designed to allow deposits in a single token, generating yield through liquidity pool technology.

• Market-Neutral Exposure: Strategies use techniques to eliminate exposure to the second token in liquidity pools, maintaining market neutrality.

• Impermanent Loss Management: Utilizes concentrated liquidity pool technology (CLMM) to minimize impermanent loss on positions.

• Frequent Rebalancing: Micro-transactions and rebalancing across multiple protocols ensure optimal strategy performance and continuity.

• Optimized Allocation: Strategic distribution of assets, prioritizing yield generation on Uniswap and hedging on AAVE for risk management.

• Resilient Performance: Robust management of the borrow ratio to stay below liquidation thresholds, ensuring consistent performance without margin call losses.

Roadmap

Lobster’s roadmap outlines a strategic development plan starting with research, algorithm development, and a proof of concept in 2023, followed by automated strategy launches and community growth in early 2024. It includes the rollout of its platform on Arbitrum, Ethereum, and other major chains, partnerships with DApps and VASPs, and the integration of AI in algorithmic models. By 2025, the focus shifts to expanding strategy offerings, launching a native token, and positioning as a key player in decentralized finance with an architecture open to other decentralized applications.

Revenue Streams

Lobster’s business model centers on a 3% annual management fee on the total value locked (TVL) in the protocol, deducted in small increments every 4 hours. This fee structure is designed to ensure transparency and is already factored into the performance metrics displayed to users, with no additional charges applied throughout the investment’s lifetime.

The $LOB token is utilized in the Lobster ecosystem by:

• Exclusive Vault Access: Premium users staking $LOB can access high-profit vaults with limited market liquidity and special investment slots.

• Yield Generation: Staking $LOB tokens generates yield, incentivizing further staking.

• Recipe Token Staking: Locking recipe tokens for longer periods provides higher incentives on the related strategy, enhancing community engagement.

• Buyback & Burn: A portion of protocol profits is used for a buyback and burn mechanism, increasing the token’s value over time.

Marketing & User Acquisition Strategy

Lobster employs a dual-focused marketing strategy targeting both B2C and B2B clients. For B2C, Lobster utilizes social networks, growth marketing techniques, and AMAs (Ask Me Anything) sessions to reach individual investors. The strategy is reinforced by a marketing consultancy that helps build active communities on platforms like Twitter, Discord, and Telegram. Engagement campaigns, such as Points into Token and Quest activities, are designed to attract and retain retail users by rewarding their participation. On the B2B side, Lobster focuses on networking, presentations, and event participation to engage crypto professionals and businesses. Sales are further amplified through automation tools and data scraping techniques. Targeting crypto firms with under $500M AUM, Lobster co-creates customized strategies for these clients while also exploring B2B2C integrations, such as the collaboration with Thena Labs for liquidity management. By leveraging the social proof and active engagement of its B2C community, Lobster builds credibility to close larger-scale B2B deals.
