Alto is strengthening its liquidity position within the Curve ecosystem in partnership with Frax Finance. Curve and Frax are two of the most reputable and bulletproof protocols in the space. This partnership will allow Alto to grow in a scalable and self-sustaining manner long-term.
Instead of renting liquidity, Alto is deploying its Protocol-Owned-Liquidity (POL) to build a permanent stable infrastructure layer that guarantees deep on-chain liquidity while offering external Liquidity Providers on a new Curve Pool with highly predictable, risk-adjusted yields.

Yield bearing stablecoins went from a niche concept to the defining product category of this cycle.
DUSD has been doing exactly that on Ethereum since launch.
Yield accrues directly.
No wrappers.
No extra steps.
In a pooled protocol, every collateral type adds risk to every lender in the pool.
One bad asset.
Everyone pays.
Isolated markets change that.
Here's how it works and why it matters.

1/ Most DeFi protocols rent their liquidity.
Alto buys it.
Here's why that's a fundamentally different bet, and why it matters for everything from rates to token design 🧵

Alto Incentive Model drives protocol growth and sustainability through a two-part system:
ALTO Rewards Options (ARO) that enable users to buy discounted tokens and build Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL), and a unique revenue-sharing referral program that directly rewards users in stablecoins for contributing to the protocol's expansion.

Most DeFi protocols rely on rented liquidity. Temporary rewards disappear when incentives stop, and the protocol fades.
Alto introduces a new economic model that captures rewards to build a permanent, self-sustaining treasury. It’s a foundation for a protocol that can actually pay you to borrow.

TapiocaDAO is now Alto.
Today marks a new direction. We’ve launched a rebuilt credit protocol under a new name, engineered for security, simplicity, and scalability.
Alto is centered on our native stablecoin, DUSD, and designed to be a foundational layer for decentralized finance.
Our public testnet is now live on Ethereum Sepolia.

This is on the line of @tapioca_dao research on new airdrop, tokenomiks and inflation models.
Instead of committing to old techniques, its thesis was to implement "call options airdrops" & "call options token emissions" (as opposed to liquidity mining emissions). Its thesis was that a vast majority of participants would hold, instead of immediately sell, as it usually happens with the majority of airdrops (80% retention vs 20% retentions with traditional airdrops).
"Call options tokens" are to be redeemed directly OTC from the DAO, providing the DAO with POL, thus, allowing it to be its own Market Maker, instead of resorting to "mercenary liquidity", that dumps the token and leaves the DAO hanging dry with 0 liquidity once the token emissions are finished.
It is important to highlight a key feature of "call options as token emissions". Due to volatile price movements, they can get "out of the money"; this is, If the strike price is out of range, the options are not worth to exercise, leading to 0 emissions, or, in simpler terms, "when the token price dumps, the token emissions go to 0", making a perfect inflation control mechanism where, lower demand leads to lower inflation, leading to bigger demand and starting inflation again.
So far, all research tokenomiks thesis have been proven correct by @tapioca_dao.
Do you know why most stablecoin issuing protocol tokens are down only?.
1. No utilty market for the stablecoin
2. Lack of supply side incentives
3. Liquidity issues
