Frequently Asked Questions

AIREY Protocol is an AI-driven real yield engine that operates across multiple blockchain ecosystems including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon. It uses advanced machine learning algorithms, cross-chain governance, and dynamic NFT mechanics to automatically allocate capital to the highest risk-adjusted yield opportunities while providing sustainable, real yield rather than unsustainable token emissions.

AIREY's AI engine consists of three core model types: Time-series forecasting models for APY prediction using ARIMA, Prophet, and Transformer architectures; Risk classification models that score protocols based on smart contract security, liquidity depth, and historical performance; and Behavioral analysis models that personalize strategies based on user activity patterns. The AI continuously analyzes real-time on-chain data, protocol fundamentals, and market conditions to optimize yield allocation.

AIREY currently supports Ethereum (mainnet), Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon networks with native cross-chain functionality. The protocol uses LayerZero and other bridge technologies for seamless cross-chain operations. Additional chains including Avalanche and Base are planned for future releases.

AIREY combines three unique elements: AI-first approach with purpose-built machine learning models for yield optimization, cross-chain by design with native multi-chain support, and dynamic NFT utility with evolving NFTs that provide real benefits. Unlike protocols that rely on unsustainable token emissions, AIREY focuses on real yield from protocol fees and revenue generation.

Getting started is simple: 1) Connect your compatible wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.), 2) Choose your risk profile (Conservative, Balanced, or Growth), 3) Deposit supported assets, 4) Receive your evolving NFT, and 5) Watch as AIREY's AI optimizes your yield automatically across multiple chains and protocols.

AIREY supports all major Web3 wallets including MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, and other Web3-compatible wallets. The protocol uses standard Web3 connection protocols and is compatible with any wallet that supports the target blockchain networks.

AIREY accepts major cryptocurrencies including ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI, WBTC, and other blue-chip tokens. The protocol implements ERC-4626 compatible vaults that can accommodate various asset types. Specific assets available depend on the blockchain network and current yield opportunities identified by the AI engine.

AIREY uses LayerZero and other bridge protocols for cross-chain messaging and asset transfers. The protocol features a unified cross-chain governance system that allows coordinated decision-making across all supported networks. Users can deposit on one chain and have their assets optimally allocated across multiple chains automatically.

AIREY never has access to your private keys. The protocol uses non-custodial smart contracts with multi-signature governance, timelock delays for critical operations, and emergency pause mechanisms. All smart contracts undergo comprehensive security audits before deployment.

AIREY's AI models achieve 85%+ accuracy for APY predictions and maintain 80%+ average confidence scores. The models are continuously retrained with new data and use ensemble methods to improve reliability. However, DeFi markets are inherently volatile, and past performance doesn't guarantee future results.

AIREY NFTs are dynamic tokens that start at the Novice tier and evolve through user activity. All NFTs are minted at the same price to ensure fairness, with traits revealed after minting. Each NFT has a rarity level that affects progression speed and yield bonuses. NFTs evolve through five tiers (Novice → Adept → Strategist → Master → Oracle) based on staking activity, capital investment, and governance participation. Higher rarity NFTs progress faster and earn greater rewards.

The AIREY Token serves multiple purposes: governance voting in the DAO with time-weighted and NFT-boosted voting power, access to premium AI features and strategies, fee discounts across the protocol (5-20% based on holdings), requirements for NFT tier upgrades, and staking for additional yield boosts. The token has anti-dumping mechanics to ensure long-term sustainability.

AIREY charges a 10% performance fee on generated yield, plus small fees for NFT minting and cross-chain transactions. NFT holders receive progressive fee discounts based on their tier: Adept (5%), Strategist (10%), Master (15%), and Oracle (20%). The protocol focuses on sustainable revenue from performance fees rather than extractive tokenomics.

AIREY features a cross-chain DAO governance system where AIREY Token holders can create and vote on proposals that affect multiple chains simultaneously. Voting power is enhanced by NFT tier and time-weighted to prevent short-term manipulation. The system includes proposal validation, timelock delays, and coordinated execution across all supported networks.

Yes, users can mint up to 5 NFTs maximum, each starting at the same fixed price to ensure fairness. All NFTs begin with hidden traits that are revealed after the collection sells out or at a predetermined time. Each NFT will then display its randomly assigned rarity level and chain affinity traits. When staking multiple NFTs, only your rarest NFT will generate yield rewards, while the others will continue to evolve and gain XP but won't produce additional yield.

Unstaking your NFT before certain time periods results in XP penalties to encourage long-term commitment. The penalty structure is: less than 7 days (50% XP loss), 7-30 days (25% XP loss), 30-90 days (10% XP loss), and over 90 days (no penalty). This system promotes protocol loyalty and prevents short-term farming behavior while allowing flexibility for long-term holders.

You earn experience points (XP) daily by actively using the protocol. XP accumulation is based on your staking activity, the amount of capital you invest, your NFT's rarity level, and participation in governance. The system is designed to reward consistent, long-term engagement while ensuring fairness across all users regardless of investment size.

NFT rarity levels (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Mythic) are assigned when traits are revealed and determine how quickly your NFT progresses and the maximum rewards you can earn. Some NFTs also have chain affinity traits that provide bonus rewards when you stake on specific blockchain networks, encouraging strategic allocation across different ecosystems.

Each NFT tier provides increasing yield bonuses: Novice (0%), Adept (+1% to +2%), Strategist (+3% to +5%), Master (+6% to +8%), and Oracle (+10% to +15%). The exact bonus within each range depends on your NFT's rarity level. For example, a Mythic Oracle NFT can achieve up to +15% yield bonus, while a Common Oracle reaches +10%. Higher tiers also unlock access to advanced vaults and governance privileges.

The time to reach Oracle tier (1200+ XP) varies significantly based on NFT rarity and staking amount. With active staking and moderate capital investment: Common NFTs take 5+ months, Rare NFTs take ~4–5 months, Epic NFTs take ~3–4 months, and Mythic NFTs take ~2–3 months Larger capital investments and consistent governance participation can accelerate this timeline through the logarithmic XP scaling system.

Security is AIREY's top priority. The protocol undergoes comprehensive smart contract audits by leading security firms before each major release. We implement multi-signature wallets (3/5 threshold), timelock contracts (24-48 hour delays), emergency pause mechanisms, and circuit breakers.

AIREY's AI models include sophisticated risk assessment that evaluates smart contract security, protocol fundamentals, liquidity depth, and historical performance. The system uses diversification across multiple protocols, position sizing based on risk scores, real-time monitoring for anomalies, and automatic rebalancing to protect user funds while optimizing returns.

AIREY's AI continuously monitors for unusual activity and can quickly withdraw funds from compromised protocols. The system includes circuit breakers for each integration, backup strategies for critical functions, and emergency response procedures. While we cannot eliminate all risks in DeFi, our multi-layered approach significantly reduces exposure to any single protocol failure.

AIREY operates on public blockchains where transaction data is inherently transparent. The AI analysis is performed on aggregated, pseudonymous data without attempting to re-identify users. We use encryption for off-chain data, implement strict access controls, and follow privacy-by-design principles. Users maintain full control of their private keys and wallet security.

During volatile periods, AIREY's AI automatically adjusts strategy allocation to more conservative, stable yield sources. The system includes anomaly detection to identify unusual market conditions and can pause risky strategies or increase allocation to safer protocols. Emergency pause mechanisms can halt all operations if critical issues are detected.

You are solely responsible for any loss of funds when using AIREY Protocol. This includes losses from smart contract bugs, protocol failures, market volatility, hacking incidents, user error, or any other circumstances. The protocol operates on experimental technology with inherent risks. All transactions are final and irreversible. Please only invest what you can afford to lose and conduct thorough research before using the protocol.

The AI Copilot is a conversational interface that provides personalized investment recommendations based on your risk profile, portfolio composition, and market conditions. It can suggest optimal asset allocation, identify new yield opportunities, alert you to risks, and help you understand complex DeFi strategies in plain language.

Yes, AIREY offers multiple risk profiles (Conservative, Balanced, Growth) and allows customization of strategy parameters. Advanced users can set specific protocol preferences, risk tolerances, and allocation limits. The AI adapts its recommendations based on your preferences while maintaining optimal risk-adjusted returns.

AIREY implements several gas optimization strategies including batch transactions, optimal timing for rebalancing based on gas prices, and cross-chain routing to minimize transaction costs. The AI considers gas costs as part of its optimization calculations to ensure net positive returns for users.

AIREY allows withdrawals at any time without lockups. If a withdrawal request occurs during rebalancing, the system will process it from available liquidity or pause the rebalancing to accommodate the withdrawal. Users may experience slight delays during complex rebalancing operations, but funds remain accessible.
