Flying Tulip is a unified onchain financial system founded by Andre Cronje. The protocol is designed to allow users to deploy the same collateral across multiple financial primitives within a single system, including: spot trading (AMM + CLOB), lending, perpetual futures, insurance, and a native stablecoin (ftUSD). Flying Tulip’s goal is to unify core DeFi primitives under one protocol architecture. Protocol revenues are intended to support the Flying Tulip ecosystem, including ongoing development and FT token buybacks, as governed by the protocol’s design. Funds contributed during the sale may be deployed into conservative onchain lending strategies.These strategies have historically generated low single-digit yields, which are intended to support protocol development prior to broader network activity. Future protocol revenues from the stablecoin, lending, and trading products may be used to support the ecosystem, including FT token buybacks, according to protocol rules.
