Prodigy.Fi Product 101 Series: A Complete Recap of Our Dual Currency Investment Vaults
Over the past few months, we have rolled out our Product 101 series, designed to give both new and seasoned DeFi users — or Brodigies, as we’d like to call it — a clear, hands-on understanding of what makes Prodigy.Fi’s Dual Currency Investment (DCI) vaults unique.
This first series, titled Understanding Prodigy.Fi’s Dual Investment Vaults, has now officially wrapped up. From how our vaults work, to why you might use them over traditional stablecoin yield farming — we have covered it all. This article wraps up our first education series, ties the topics together, and acts as a one-stop directory so you can easily revisit the concepts, examples, and use-cases most relevant to you.
Whether you are just discovering Prodigy.Fi or looking to sharpen your strategies, this is your starting point.
A Quick Refresher: What Exactly Is A Dual Currency Investment (DCI)?
Before we dive into the recap, here’s a quick reminder: Prodigy.Fi’s DCI vaults let you earn yield on your crypto no matter the market direction. If the market hits your target, your asset gets exchanged (bought or sold) at that price, plus you earn a fixed APY. If it doesn’t? You keep your original asset and still pocket the yield.
It’s a powerful way to earn more from your crypto holdings, regardless of whether you are aiming to accumulate more BTC, ETH or simply looking to optimise idle assets.
