Boost

Boost locks part of your balance for a fixed term and pays a higher, guaranteed rate than the floating auto-earn APY. It's the same product idea as a CD or a fixed-term savings deposit, implemented on-chain via Stellar's yield protocols.

How it appears​

The Boost tab lists every open market — one card per asset / term combination. Each card shows:

  • The boost rate (e.g. 12.5% fixed) in gold.
  • Your current auto-earn rate on that asset for comparison.
  • The term length in days and the maturity date.
  • A worked example sized to your actual balance: "$500 boosted → earn $15.41 over 90 days".

Tap a card to open Confirm Boost, type an amount, and sign.

The rate is real​

The boost APY isn't a marketing number — it's set by a Pendle-style logit-curve AMM that prices yield tokens (PT / YT) against the underlying. The number you see is the implied yield from the current AMM mid-price. See Developer / Contracts / Yield Math for the model.

Early exit (unboost)​

You can sell a boost position back to the AMM at any time before maturity. The protocol calls this unboost. It returns your principal + any accrued earnings at the current market rate, which may be less than the rate you locked.

After maturity, redeem routes the position back into auto-earn automatically — no dead period, no manual step.

Smart-wallet only (today)​

Boost calls the Router smart contract, which requires passkey-bound smart-wallet auth. The dev keypair fallback can't sign Soroban auth for the Router, so the Boost CTA on those accounts will fail at submit. See Limitations.
