@VelocityDEX Uh I don’t have an option to claim. I see that i’m owed but there are no claimable assets. Is it first come first serve?

msY Portfolio & Redemption Update
We want to provide a clear update on the current msY portfolio, the remaining box-spread maturity profile, and the path forward for restoring liquidity to the minter.
As previously communicated, the msY box-spread strategy began approaching capacity in its original short-duration Deribit execution environment. In response, Main Street expanded execution across additional centralized venues and OTC box-spread counterparties in order to continue optimizing risk-adjusted yield for holders and avoid forcing new capital into increasingly compressed shorter-dated opportunities.
As part of that expansion, certain OTC box-spread opportunities were executed at longer maturities than the initial short-duration target range. Following the unwind of the shortest-dated and most liquid positions during the initial phase of the Morpho market squeeze, the remaining portfolio now consists of boxes with approximately 60 to 340 days remaining to expiry. The remaining book is therefore naturally more concentrated in the medium-to-longer dated part of the maturity ladder, because the shortest-dated liquidity was used first to support the minter and reduce near-term pressure.
Importantly, this does not change the core economics of the strategy. These are fixed-payoff box-spread positions. If held to expiry, and assuming the relevant venue or counterparty performs, the positions accrete toward their known maturity value. The current situation is therefore primarily one of timing, secondary-market liquidity, and redemption pacing; not a change in the expected terminal payoff of the portfolio.
Current portfolio position:
Current CR, assuming boxes are held to expiry: 100.04%
Insurance fund: $525,527 in msUSD
Insurance fund treatment: if required, the msUSD held in the insurance fund can be burned, increasing protocol coverage
Coverage including the insurance fund: above 100%
Our priority is to preserve full backing and avoid crystallizing unnecessary losses. We are actively exploring opportunities to unwind or sell selected boxes where executable pricing is available and where, after taking into account the insurance fund and any applicable protection mechanisms, the system remains above 100% coverage. Where that threshold can be met, we intend to take those opportunities and use the proceeds to continue refilling the minter.
We do not expect that every remaining box necessarily needs to be held all the way to expiry. As boxes move closer to maturity, the discount between secondary-market pricing and maturity value should naturally compress, which can create further opportunities to exit closer to NAV without impairing coverage. This means liquidity can be restored progressively through a combination of scheduled expiries and selective secondary-market unwinds where pricing is acceptable.
Where secondary liquidity is not available on acceptable terms, we will continue following the approach outlined in our risk framework: allow box positions to mature, release liquidity as expiries occur, and refill the minter as capital becomes available.
Selling fixed-payoff positions at distressed marks simply to accelerate liquidity would be value-destructive for holders. Waiting for better execution, selectively unwinding where coverage remains above 100%, and using the insurance fund as intended gives the protocol the strongest path to preserve backing and restore liquidity in an orderly way.
This is a timing and execution-management issue, and the portfolio remains structured around fixed-payoff positions that accrete toward maturity value. We are confident in the path forward and will continue to provide updates as liquidity is released, boxes are unwound, and the minter is refilled.
Our focus remains unchanged: preserve NAV, protect holders, avoid uneconomic liquidations, maintain coverage, and work through the maturity ladder in the most responsible way possible.

@0xAlphaping So no announcement? You are just leaving everyone in the dark?
English

@0xAlphaping @LaurentAms13012 Repayment is unlikely as interests are so high. Snapshot more likely.
English

@julian_colombo @0xAlphaping We aren’t getting our money back. Vault shares aren’t even able to sell at 1/3 of their original value.

English

@0xAlphaping There’s no more allocation in AVLT on the vault. Only MSY left. What are the guys from Main St telling you? Since they have gone radio silent I guess you as the curators and allocators should inform
English

@0xAlphaping It’s safe to say we aren’t getting our money back. Vault shares are selling at a 1/3 of the original value. You guys are a disgrace!

English

@krkrS2 @0xAlphaping Dude the odds are not in our favor. There are contracts for this vault selling at -50%. I wish you the best but we got absolutely screwed over.
English

@0xAlphaping Currently, over 700k in funds are being held in Delta, Im open for a reasonable exit over time, Would it be possible to discuss this matter?

@0xAlphaping We aren’t getting our money back. The odds are not in our favor.

Treasury Unwind Update
The Inessa unwind is underway, and transfers to Altura's bank account are now being processed through JPMorgan Chase.
We have added a new Proof of Reserves tab to the Altura app, where every transfer can be followed: app.altura.trade/proof-of-reser…
As funds arrive, Inessa exposure decreases and Altura bank account exposure increases. The Altura POR dashboard reflects these changes immediately. Each transfer is also independently verified by Accountable, and their dashboard may take slightly longer to update, as reconciliation is done manually on their side.
We are scaling transfer sizes up gradually so each step clears cleanly through the banking and verification process. Today's transfers reflect that approach, and amounts are expected to increase over the coming days.
As previously stated, redemptions will open once all treasury assets have been recovered and verified, and will then be processed together, so everyone is treated equally.
For those borrowing against AVLT on Morpho, we understand this is a difficult position. To keep the process fair for all holders, redemptions are handled together rather than individually. Morpho's markets are also immutable, so the terms cannot be changed on-chain by anyone. Your position stays in your control, and you can repay and unwind on Morpho at any time.
We are grateful for the patience and trust this community continues to show, and we will keep sharing progress until the unwind is complete.

@0xAlphaping Im currently very close to getting liquidated on a separate position of mine and the borrowed money I had I put in this vault. And unfortunately there are snipe bots that withdraw the money. Is there any way you can give me atleast just a couple thousand from my position?
English

@0xAlphaping I have over 10k in a position and need atleast a couple thousand back very soon as I am close to liquidating on a different position! Is there any way I can be slightly expedited?
English

Market participants have begun unwinding positions in the Alpha USDT Vault, driven by expectations of a positive outcome for the AVTL claim following Altura’s announcement of larger repayments from Inessa today.
陈小萌@MengLayer
另一个 $AVLT 神秘大哥出手了 ! 刚刚主动上手清算了 54W $AVLT ,大哥可能觉得二级买的太慢了,干脆直接清算LOOPER仓位~ 目前大哥手里有120W AVLT 这么看已经有不少人押注 AVLT 可以完成unwind 全额退款了,清算说明 Looper们有救了!

@0xAlphaping How are we supposed to withdraw when there appears to be bots auto withdrawing? I’m currently in a very bad position and am about to get liquidated on a position and am in need of a couple thousand from my position in this vault.

Update on Morpho Markets
We would like to provide a factual update on several markets we are actively monitoring.
AZND
According to information provided to us, MuDigital’s official fund manager initiated the unwind of the underlying bond positions last Tuesday. Based on the latest information available to us, repayments are expected to begin as early as next week. Timing remains subject to execution by the relevant parties.
AVLT
Altura is actively working to unwind underlying RWA positions to increase available liquidity. This is intended to support withdrawals and enable borrowers to reduce leveraged positions. We remain in close communication with the AVLT community and other stakeholders.
MSY
We continue to engage actively with MainStreet regarding measures aimed at restoring market functionality, including liquidity and the peg. We are also in discussions with RedStone regarding the oracle required for the MSY market to operate normally again.
Across all affected markets, we remain in frequent communication with Morpho, counterparties, large depositors, project teams, and other relevant participants to facilitate information sharing and resolution where possible.
We understand that the current situation is stressful. We encourage everyone to rely on verifiable information and official updates, and to be cautious of speculation or individuals seeking to exploit uncertainty.
We will continue to share material updates as they become available.

Mainstreet Update — Morpho, Proof of Reserves & Liquidity
We want to address the current situation around the Mainstreet Morpho market and provide clarity.
First and most importantly: Mainstreet remains fully backed.
The recent shutdown of our third-party proof-of-reserves dashboard does not reflect any loss of assets or deterioration in portfolio quality. This is an infrastructure and reporting issue, not a solvency issue.
As a result of the dashboard going offline, the oracle supporting the Morpho market is expected to pause within the next 24 hours. This has created understandable concern and triggered elevated borrowing rates as leveraged loopers rush to unwind positions.
We are actively responding on multiple fronts:
Engaging alternative proof-of-reserves providers to restore independent verification as quickly as possible.
Continuing to unwind box spread positions and redeploy liquidity into the minter / Morpho ecosystem.
Preparing to act as liquidity provider and liquidator of last resort if necessary to prevent disorderly market conditions.
Over the past several days, we have already unwound our shortest-dated box positions and released free cash, with more than $8 million in USDC already transferred to the minter to support liquidity and assist with unwinds.
Mainstreet’s core portfolio consists primarily of box spreads. These are structurally low-volatility positions designed to converge to fair value at expiry, making them highly predictable from a NAV perspective when held to maturity.
However, box spreads are not always frictionless to exit early.
Selling before expiry may involve:
Transaction fees
Wider bid/ask spreads
Temporary market-maker discounts
Liquidity-dependent haircuts based on expiry and position size
This means that while our portfolio remains fully backed, converting positions into immediate liquidity depends on prevailing market depth and market-maker appetite.
Our priority is clear: protect NAV while maximizing liquidity for the protocol.
We are willing to accept elevated fees and modest execution costs to accelerate liquidity release, supported by the protocol insurance fund. However, we will not realize losses beyond the insurance fund purely to force immediate exits. If market pricing becomes materially irrational, we will allow positions to continue toward expiry and realize full value at settlement, as outlined in our risk disclosures and discussions with key partners.
If borrowing rates continue to rise and liquidations occur, Mainstreet is prepared to step in as liquidator of last resort. As additional USDC is freed from box maturities and unwinds, part of that capital may be deployed to absorb and liquidate stressed Morpho positions to minimize bad debt risk.
Weekend liquidity is currently limited, and market-maker quotes are materially less favorable than during normal trading hours, which temporarily slows execution. We expect to have a clearer picture over the coming days and will continue providing updates as progress is made.
We understand this is a stressful situation and sincerely appreciate the community’s patience and trust.
Our commitment remains unchanged: protect user funds, preserve NAV, and restore normal market conditions as quickly and responsibly as possible.
