After years of work on Genius Yield, I am sad to see its operations winding down, and I am sorry that users have been left worried about accessing their assets. My immediate priority is to help you withdraw from staking vaults and claim your available rewards.

First, thank you for all the feedback on Genius Zero over the past week — helping everyone unstake and claim rewards remains priority #1.

While fixing a bug in the Liquidity Vault UI a few days ago, I also deployed a small live GENS/ADA Smart Liquidity Vault (20k GENS + 100 ADA) on mainnet to test the oracle pricing (+2% ask / +4% bid) and compared the numbers against AMM pools.

On a typical 25–100 ADA trade on Minswap V2, the 2 ADA batcher fee + 1% LP fee + constant-product slippage create a 12%–22% gap between the effective buyer price and seller payout.

By contrast, Smart Liquidity Vaults in Genius Zero have zero batcher fees, zero protocol fees (nothing goes to a Genius Yield address), and zero AMM curve slippage — you trade directly against the vault UTxO in one transaction. As a result, that single vault gives both buyers and sellers a better net rate than the AMM, while the vault provider earns the spread.

These contracts are immutable public infrastructure on Cardano and work for SNEK, USDM, IAG, INDY, NIGHT, and other tokens (as do Covered Options). If you haven't looked beyond the unstaking tab yet, feel free to explore:
