In crypto systems architecture and decentralized finance (DeFi), Receipt Tokens are digital assets issued to represent a user’s deposit or stake of another asset within a protocol or smart contract. These tokens serve as proof of ownership and a claim on the underlying assets, often accruing value or rewards over time. They act as a liquid representation of locked capital.
Mechanism
The mechanism operates when a user deposits cryptocurrency into a liquidity pool, lending protocol, or staking contract. The smart contract automatically mints and issues a corresponding number of receipt tokens to the user’s wallet. These tokens can then be transferred, traded, or used as collateral in other DeFi applications, while the original deposited assets remain locked within the protocol, earning yield or securing the network. Redemption occurs by burning the receipt tokens to withdraw the original assets.
Methodology
The methodology behind receipt tokens promotes capital efficiency and composability within DeFi, enabling users to maintain liquidity and participate in multiple protocols simultaneously. Transparent smart contract logic and verifiable on-chain records ensure the 1:1 redeemability of receipt tokens for their underlying assets, reducing counterparty risk. This design allows for sophisticated financial strategies, such as using staked assets’ receipts as collateral for further borrowing or options trading, enhancing capital utility.
