Flying Tulip is a unified on-chain financial protocol offering a delta-neutral stablecoin (ftUSD), a slippage-aware money market, oracle-free perpetual futures, a volatility-adaptive spot exchange, and a capital allocation mechanism with downside protection via perpetual PUT options.

Flying Tulip is an on‑chain financial system that standardizes pricing, credit, and risk across a suite of products, spot trading (AMM + CLOB), lending, perpetual futures, insurance, and a settlement rail (ftUSD). The design goal is straightforward: reuse the same unit of collateral across multiple functions, price risk based on real, executable liquidity rather than static tables or delayed oracles, and route system cashflows back to the token in a transparent, programmatic way.

"Better Yield" means capital efficiency; the same deposit can accrue base yield while also securing lending, resting CLOB orders, or futures collateral, plus a token‑first model that converts protocol revenues into buybacks (and, where specified, user distributions). "Better UX" means the mechanics are encoded in contracts and unified across products: the same depth‑aware prices feed trading, LTVs, funding, and liquidations; the same guardrails and change‑management apply everywhere.

The FT Token is designed to align users, contributors, and the protocol around a simple idea: convert real activity into lasting value. FT achieves this through conservative capital stewardship, clear Exit rights for primary participants, and a token‑first model that returns yield and fees to FT.

FT is the native token of Flying Tulip. It exists to:

Connect activity to cashflows: Products generate revenue and fees; those dollars are used to buy FT (and in many cases burn it), turning usage into scarcity for holders. Preserve and compound capital: Primary raise proceeds are not spent; they are deployed into conservative, liquid yield. That funds ecosystem development (infrastructure, operations) first; any surplus is routed to ongoing buyback-and-burn. Offer clear, on‑chain rights during the Capital Allocation: the Perpetual PUT for primary participants (explained below).

Across the product suite - ftUSD, Trade, Lend, Futures, Insurance, the protocol takes a token‑first approach: where appropriate, fees and yield are converted into FT, creating direct demand for the token as usage grows.
