Grant Treasury with Yield-Bearing Integration

This document describes the implementation of a yield-bearing treasury system for Stellar grant contracts, addressing issue #46/#36.

Overview

The Grant Treasury contract implements a sophisticated treasury management system that automatically invests idle funds in Stellar-based liquidity pools to generate yield while ensuring liquidity is always available for grant withdrawals.

Features

✅ Core Requirements Met

  • invest_idle_funds() - Automatically invests idle funds in liquidity pools
  • divest_funds() - Divests funds when liquidity is needed
  • Liquidity Availability - Ensures grants can always be withdrawn
  • Yield Generation - Earns yield on idle capital through DeFi protocols

🚀 Additional Features

  • Auto-Investment - Automatically invests when idle funds exceed threshold
  • Yield Claiming - Periodic yield collection and reinvestment
  • Grant Management - Complete grant allocation and withdrawal system
  • Risk Management - Minimum liquidity ratio enforcement
  • Comprehensive Auditing - Full transaction history and yield tracking

pub fn get_available_balance(env: Env) -> i128
pub fn get_invested_balance(env: Env) -> i128

Yield Calculation

The contract uses a simplified yield calculation model:

// 5% APY (500 basis points)
let apy = 500;
let seconds_per_year = 365 * 24 * 60 * 60;
let time_fraction = (time_elapsed * 10000) / seconds_per_year;
let yield_amount = (principal * apy * time_fraction) / (10000 * 10000);

Liquidity Management

Minimum Liquidity Ratio

  • Configurable minimum liquidity (default: 20%)
  • Prevents over-investment
