Protocol Description:
Yamato Protocol is a decentralized and non-custodial CDP platform for the issuance of crypto-asset overcollateralized stable coins. V1 allows the issuance of CJPY (“Convertible JPY”, a Japanese Yen equivalent coin) using ETH as collateral.
The minimum collateral ratio at the time of issuance is 130%, meaning that 1CJPY can always be expected to be backed by collateral equal to or greater than 1 JPY & 1CJPY can always be redeemed against collateral equal to 1 JPY.
Other unique CDP features are as following:
- Users are only charged a one-time issuance fee when generating CJPY.
- No liquidation penalty. Debt positions with health rates below 130% can be partially redeemed by any users using CJPY purchased from the market to make the position over 130%.
- Accrued CJPY fees on Protocol can be used to redeem debt positions below the health rate threshold.
- The protocol will use the accumulated CJPY fees to subrogate debt positions falling below the 100% health rate threshold.
Motivation:
To increase DEX liquidity in addition to the existing Uniswap V3 liquidity as it is critical to support sufficient liquidity to scale CJPY issuances. Once the gauge is approved, Yamato will use bribe markets(initially Votium) to incentivise the gauge. (This will also result in an additional return opportunity for CJPY holders through LP farming)

Audits: Done by BlockApex. https://blockapex.io/yamato-protocol-audit-report/ and https://blockapex.io/yamato-stablecoin-lending-audit-report/
-
Centralization vectors: Yamato Protocol is a centralization minimized protocol. Currently it is fully manged by DeFiGeek Community Japan DAO, a developer DAO which developed Yamato Protocol.
-
Market History: The CJPY is soft pegged by game theory to be equivalent to 1 JPY and the price has been in the range of single digit % deviation from its launch in Aug 2023 until the protocol owned liquidity UniV3 was in the range (POL was CJPY/ETH concentrated liquidity and currently out of range due to ETH price spike). We are in the process of migrating POL to this newly created Curve pool thanks to the help of the Curve team.
