What is Tranchess?
Tranchess is a yield-enhancing asset tracker protocol with varied risk-return solutions. The concept of Tranchess was first incepted in early 2020 and was developed quickly into its current state. Inspired by tranche funds’ ability to satisfy users’ varying risk appetites, Tranchess aims to provide a different risk/return matrix out of a single main fund that tracks specific underlying assets.

What is Token QUEEN, BISHOP and ROOK?
QUEEN Token is converted from the underlying asset in Tranchess Primary Market and tracks the NAV of the underlying asset. QUEEN can be split into 0.5 BISHOP and 0.5 ROOK. BISHOP earns an enhanced yield and does not track the underlying asset, while ROOK is a leveraged token for the underlying.
Token QUEEN, BISHOP and ROOK can also be traded with USDC from Tranchess Swap*, our on-chain trading system that adopts a TWAP mechanism. Currently there are zero charges for transactions done on Tranchess Swap.
