INDEX · SELECTION BASKET
COIN
mediumA basket around the large assets — ether and bitcoin. In the selection snapshot these were positions in the asset itself, with the rate counted in the asset; the center puts into this basket pairs of these assets with each other (ether–bitcoin) and with a stablecoin, and the center's rate is counted in dollars.
Movement is medium: the selection-snapshot criterion excluded impermanent loss (the center also puts pairs into this basket — ether–bitcoin and asset–stablecoin, where it can occur), and the assets' own prices are not capped by anything — in a single-asset position a fall passes one to one, in an ether–bitcoin pair a market-wide fall passes almost in full, in a pair with a stablecoin in part; pairs add impermanent loss.

What is inside right now
This is the published shortlist of the selection, not a list of holdings. A pool on this list means one thing only: it passed the basket criterion on the snapshot date. The decision about money is taken separately, by a person.
| Pair | Chain | Venue | TVL | Stage | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WETH | Ethereum | aave-v3 | $17.7M | passed screening | Most of the yield is emissions |
| WEETH | Base | ether.fi-stake | $34.1M | proposed | Cheap gas, base yield only |
| WEETH | Ethereum | ether.fi-stake | $3.72B | passed screening | no data |
| RETH | Ethereum | rocket-pool | $2.54B | passed screening | no data |
| STETH | Ethereum | lido | $17.87B | passed screening | no data |

QUEUE · TOP-50
Queue into this index
A ranked list of candidates, not a quality score: the order comes from the selection-snapshot criterion printed above the table — the snapshot date is below the table. Every row shows whether the candidate passes and which rule it fails.
Reading the queue…
ENTRY PATH
How an entry happens
Six steps from a row in a feed to a position. No step moves money on its own.
01Scan
The engine takes the whole pool feed and stamps the snapshot with a time: from there on snapshots are compared with snapshots, not memory with memory.
02Criterion
Candidates that pass the published basket criterion remain. A rejected candidate leaves with a named reason, never silently.
03On-chain re-verification
The candidate's numbers are re-read on chain, not taken from the feed's word. If they disagree, the candidate stops here.
04Human confirmation
The founder looks at the candidate and says yes or no. Without that word the next step does not happen.
05Entry
The key signs exactly the plan that was confirmed. Key and declared address are matched before the plan is built; a mismatch is a stop.
06Monitoring
The position is re-verified on chain daily. A disagreement between the ledger and the chain halts the payout loop instead of hiding in a report.
The last word before money moves belongs to a person. The engine searches, measures and stops; the founder confirms the entry.
DEPOSIT
Deposit into COIN
Deposits are taken by the alpha.yldx.ai cabinet: there you get the receiving address and see your transfer. No addresses here — take them only in the cabinet.

RISKS
Risks of this basket
What breaks in a basket built this way — and how it becomes visible.
The asset's own price
In a single-asset position (as in the selection snapshot) it is counted in ether or bitcoin: the asset halves, the dollar value halves, no matter how many units the rate added. In an ether–bitcoin pair a market-wide fall passes into the position almost in full, in a pair with a stablecoin in part; pairs add impermanent loss.
Impermanent loss
The selection-snapshot criterion took pools without impermanent loss; the center also puts pairs into this basket — ether–bitcoin and asset–stablecoin, where it can occur. But the pool's design belongs to the venue, not to us: if a pool stops being single-sided the loss appears — which is why the composition is re-read at every snapshot rather than confirmed once.
Wrapped asset
Pools carry not bitcoin itself but a receipt for it in another chain. That receipt is a bridge issuer's obligation: its failure devalues the wrapper while the asset itself is intact.
