what's The Cabal?

The Cabal is a yield optimization protocol built on Initia's Layer 1 blockchain. It allows users to deposit assets such as INIT tokens or stablecoins like iUSD into automated vaults that handle complex yield strategies, including incentive farming, lending on integrated markets like Echelon, and auto-compounding rewards. By leveraging Initia's VIP governance system, The Cabal amasses voting power from rollup bribes and directs rewards to depositors, providing liquid staking tokens (e.g., sxINIT, xINIT) that remain usable across the ecosystem. The protocol simplifies DeFi participation with a "one-click" interface, eliminating manual position management. Vaults focus on high-efficiency strategies like looping LSTs in E-Mode borrowing or LP positions, all while maintaining composability. Designed for Initia's interwoven rollups, it enhances liquidity and governance alignment without requiring users to track multiple protocols.
