Telis holds a USDC float on WCM.
Every time Telis lends liquidity to process a cross-chain swap, and open a matching perp, same USDC value, for destination token. That perp locks in the price, protecting LPs from any market move while the trade settles.
Imagine this to better understand.
Scenario
Vault inventory: 500 SOL on Solana
User obligations (open swaps): 10 SOL
Initial SOL price: $200 → IOU worth $2000
SOL rallies to: $210 → IOU now $2100
USDC bridge from surplus vault
An Ethereum vault currently has excess USDC liquidity.
Bridge amount: $2 000 USDC → Solana vault.
PnL harvest
Close the WCM long, realising +$100.
SOL buy-back on Solana
$2 000 bridged USDC + $100 hedge PnL = $2 100.
Vault market-buys 10 SOL at the new $210 price.
Vault balanced
Inventory: 500 SOL
IOU to depositors: 0 SOL
Hedge fully closed; vault is delta-neutral again.
Why this matters
At all times, the system owns the exact token count it owes depositors; price moves only shift value between the on-chain contract and the WCM float.
