# Overview- Astral Protocol ### Overview (Launch Q2) Astral Protocol makes Complex DeFi strategies simple while increasing liquidity provider returns through combining multiple yield sources into one position. Users deposit BTC, ETH, or USD stablecoins into non-custodial vaults to receive yield bearing vault tokens, then deposit liquid vault tokens into Uniswap v4 hook pools to stack embedded vault yield with AMM swap fees and incentives on the same deposited assets. Assets remain in non-custodial vault contracts and AMMs (not in team wallets), and users exit through vault redemption and liquidity removal; protocol parameters are governed by the ASTRAL DAO under timelocks. ### Development update (Current status) ABTC is in final beta mode and will be migrated to mainnet during the Q2 launch. Astral has designed AI agent tokens that manage DeFi portfolios of yield bearing strategies, with yield reinvested into the value of the agent tokens so users can buy in and out of an AI managed DeFi portfolio. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
