Helix White Paper
Abstract: Helix is a permissionless, non-custodial lending protocol designed for deployment on the Base blockchain, leveraging Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. It introduces a novel trustless primitive that prioritizes capital efficiency and architectural flexibility. Unlike conventional lending platforms, Helix enables open market participation and decentralized risk management without reliance on centralized oracle infrastructure by leveraging Chainlink Oracles.The protocols architecture is derived from Aave, but is restructured to emphasize minimalism, immutability, and composability. It functions as a governance-light, static base layer intended to support the development of auxiliary financial primitives and layered protocols. This design enables improved collateral efficiency, dynamic interest rate behavior, reduced gas consumption, and lower latency. Furthermore, Helix expands asset compatibility to include Coinbase-wrapped tokens such as XRP and DOGE, thereby increasing accessibility across diverse asset types.
Disclaimer: Helix is an open-source software project developed on the Base blockchain powered by HLX. HLX tokens are exclusively distributed through mining mechanisms, decentralized autonomous organization (“DAO”) programs, and were allocated during the protocol’s initial launch for immediate functional use within the Helix ecosystem. HLX tokens are intended strictly as governance and utility tokens and are designed solely for use in connection with the Helix protocol. They do not constitute securities, investment contracts, or any other form of securitybased financial instrument under the laws of any jurisdiction. This document does not constitute a prospectus, offering memorandum, or solicitation for investment. It is not intended to be an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, financial products, or regulated instruments in any jurisdiction. There should be no expectation of profit derived from the acquisition or use of HLX tokens. HLX tokens do not represent ownership in any common enterprise, nor do they entitle holders to any ownership interest, dividends, or governance rights outside of the protocol’s intended use cases.
