what's alchemix?

Alchemix is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that enables users to take out self-repaying loans against yield-bearing collateral such as staked ETH or DAI. By depositing collateral into the Alchemix vaults, users can mint synthetic tokens like alUSD and alETH, which represent future yield without needing to repay the principal manually, as the protocol automates repayments using generated yields. The platform aims to provide liquidity while allowing collateral to continue earning yields, reducing liquidation risks. Key features include high loan-to-value ratios up to 90% in recent versions, fixed-duration redemptions to maintain pegs, and the governance token ALCX for community decision-making. Alchemix has evolved through versions like v2 and v3, introducing meta-yield tokens and enhanced yield strategies.
