<b>KEY INVESTOR INFORMATION:</b> This document provides you with key
information about the Mango Markets Boost! Leveraged Staking product and
the risks involved. It is not marketing material. The information is
required to help you understand the nature and risks of investing in
this product.You are advised to read it so you can make an informed
decision about whether to invest.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
<b>IMPORTANT INFORMATION: CAPITAL AT RISK</b> The value and income of
investments in the following product can fall as well as rise and are
not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally
invested.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
<b>IMPORTANT INFORMATION:</b> Investments in the leverage staking
product are subject to market fluctuations. The value of your
investment, as well as the income derived from it, can increase or
decrease. There is no assurance of recovering the initial investment
amount. It&apos;s crucial to understand that decentralized finance
(DeFi) lending products, including those offered on permissionless
blockchains, operate independently of Mango Markets DAO.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
This leverage product, known as Boost! v2, allows users to deposit JLP
and SOL liquid staking tokens (LSTs), to be used as collateral in the
borrowing of USDC (if boosting JLP) or SOL (if boosting LSTs) at a
variable interest rate. The USDC or SOL is used to purchase additional
tokens, creating increased exposure.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
The product entails various fees, including variable collateral fee
rates (if boosting JLP), loan origination fees, and variable loan
maintenance fees. The value of your position is directly affected by
changes in the USDC or SOL interest rate and the market value of the
deposited tokens. Typically, an increase in borrow interest rates, or a
decrease in value of the deposited tokens, will lead to a decrease in
the value of your position, potentially resulting in liquidation.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
The Boost! leverage staking product relies on external oracles to
provide real-time price feeds for deposited tokens, USDC and SOL. These
oracles are essential for ensuring accurate collateral valuation.
However, investors should be aware that oracle data is subject to risks
of manipulation, delay, or inaccuracies. Such issues with oracle feeds
can lead to improper valuation of deposited assets, potentially
triggering unintended liquidations or affecting the overall performance
of your investment.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
Investors should also be aware of the inherent smart-contract risks
associated with the Boost! leverage staking on the Mango Markets DAO.
These risks include, but are not limited to, vulnerabilities in the
contract code that could potentially be exploited, leading to financial
loss.
</p>
<p className="mb-6 font-bold">
Please consider these risks carefully before using Mango Markets Boost!
Leveraged Staking.
</p>
<h3 className="mb-3">1. Why Boost JLP or LSTs?</h3>
<p className="mb-6">
Increased Exposure and Returns: Amplifies investment in JLP/LSTs,
leveraging USDC/SOL to enhance yield potential and market position
without the need for extra capital.
</p>
<h3 className="mb-3">2. Why Not Boost JLP or LSTs?</h3>
<p className="mb-6">
Risk of Liquidation: High volatility in the JLP/LST and USDC/SOL market
can rapidly depreciate collateral value, triggering liquidations and
potential loss of investment.
</p>
<h3 className="mb-3">3. Boosting</h3>
<p className="mb-3">
Boosting offers a significant advantage by amplifying investors&apos;
exposure to JLP/LSTs and their associated yield through USDC or SOL
borrowing, which facilitates the acquisition of additional amounts of
JLP or LSTs, enhancing potential gains. This strategic leverage allows
investors to expand their market position and potentially increase
returns without the need for additional capital investment upfront. The
product operates within a framework of carefully calibrated risk
parameters, managed by the Mango DAO, to balance growth opportunities
against the inherent risks of the JLP/LST and USDC/SOL markets.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
However, this increased exposure is not without its costs. The primary
risk associated with leveraging investments in this way is the
heightened potential for liquidation. In volatile market conditions, the
value of collateralized assets can rapidly decline, possibly triggering
liquidations to cover outstanding liabilities. Moreover, the mechanism
of leveraging and the associated costs and fees of borrowing, introduce
additional costs that can impact the overall profitability of
investments.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
It&apos;s critical to carefully evaluate the balance between the
benefits of increased exposure to underlying assets and the risks of
liquidation, losses, and fees. The high-risk nature of leveraged
cryptocurrency products demands a thorough understanding of market
dynamics and risk management strategies to navigate potential downturns
effectively
</p>
<h3 className="mb-3">4. JLP token</h3>
<p className="mb-3">
JLP (Jupiter Liquidity Provider) tokens are assets that users receive
when they become liquidity providers on the Jupiter Perpetuals platform.
Holding JLP allows users to earn a portion of the fees generated by the
platform, with the token&apos;s value and yield being dynamically
influenced by trading activities and market conditions. JLP is a native
Solana Program Library (SPL) token. It represents a significant
component of the platform&apos;s liquidity provision, directly linking
holders to the platform&apos;s financial ecosystem and its associated
risks and rewards.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
The value of JLP tokens is closely tied to the operational dynamics of
the Jupiter Perpetuals platform. It reflects a share in the pool
containing the trading fees generated, trader&apos;s profit and loss and
70 percent of generated fees. Inspired by GMXv1, JLP&apos;s worth
increases with the platform&apos;s trading volume and fee generation,
offering holders a direct stake in the platform&apos;s success. This
dynamic pricing mechanism ensures that JLP holders benefit from the
platform&apos;s financial activities.
</p>
<p className="mb-3">
The current composition of the JLP pool reflects a mix of major
cryptocurrencies, including SOL, ETH, WBTC, USDC, and USDT, each with
specific target allocations and utilization rates. Target rates in the
JLP pool ensure that the pool remains diversified and resilient to
market volatility. While offering a mix of low volatility and high
yield, JLP represent a high risk investment due to potential smart
contract vulnerabilities and market-related risks. As an index fund of
major cryptocurrencies, JLP provides broad exposure, diversifying
portfolios but also introducing complex market risks.
</p>
<h3 className="mb-3">5. Objectives and Policy</h3>
<ul className="ml-6 list-outside list-disc">
<li className="mb-3">
Boost! v2 augments the investor&apos;s exposure to the deposited
tokens by leveraging USDC or SOL borrowing to finance the acquisition
of additional amounts of the deposited asset, which is designated as
&quot;Collateral&quot;.
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
The magnitude of USDC or SOL leveraged and the volume of deposited
assets acquired are predicated on specific risk parameters, notably
the &quot;Initialisation&quot; asset weight of the deposited tokens.
The Mango DAO exercises governance over this critical parameter,
adjusting it in accordance with their risk management strategy.
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
When boosting JLP the collateral of deposited tokens is subject to a
fixed rate fee, which is imposed in direct proportion to the extent of
the collateral that is secured by outstanding liabilities. In the
context of liquidations, a distinct and typically lower value, known
as the &quot;maintenance asset weight&quot;, comes into play,
representing the &quot;weighted assets&quot; threshold for triggering
liquidation.
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
The USDC and SOL borrow rates are dynamically adjusted based on the
total volume of USDC/SOL borrowed and deposited across the platform,
adhering to an exponential curve. This mechanism ensures that the
borrow rate increases with the aggregate borrowing activity,
influencing the cost of leveraging and the overall economic incentives
for borrowers and depositors alike. This rate adjustment strategy is
crucial for managing liquidity and risk on the platform.
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
The effectiveness of leveraging JLP and the associated USDC borrowing
rates are directly influenced by Boost! USDC, a distinct service on
the platform designed for USDC lending. The interplay between JLP
leverage and Boost USDC underscores the importance of understanding
the inherent risks of Boost USDC when utilizing JLP for investment
strategies. JLP and USDC are isolated from the LST pool.
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
A liquidation event is initiated when the combined value of the
borrowed USDC or SOL, along with the accumulated interest, surpasses
the &quot;weighted assets&quot; value. This mechanism ensures that
USDC depositors are prioritized for reimbursement in the event of a
market downturn.
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
The aforementioned risk parameters, such as the
&quot;Initialisation&quot; asset weight, play a crucial role in the
determination of both the borrowing capacity and the purchasing power
regarding the deposited assets, underlining the significance of the
Mango DAO&apos;s oversight.
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
Recommendation: Investors should be cognizant of the High Risk nature
of this product. The cryptocurrency markets are characterized by their
extreme volatility, which can lead to abrupt and unanticipated
liquidations, thereby posing a substantial risk to capital.
</li>

<h3 className="mb-3">6. Interdependence with Boost USDC</h3>
<p className="mb-6">
The &quot;Boost JLP&quot; product intricately relies on the &quot;Boost
USDC&quot; , serving as a mechanism for deposits within the ecosystem.
Specifically, the Boost USDC product facilitates the deposit of USDC,
which is a critical component in enabling the leveraging features of
Boost JLP. This interdependence underscores a strategic approach to
liquidity management and leverage within the platform, where the
availability and conditions of USDC deposits directly influence the
operational dynamics of Boost JLP. As such, users engaging with Boost
JLP are implicitly interacting with the underlying mechanisms and risks
associated with Boost USDC.
</p>
<h3 className="mb-3">7. Charges</h3>
<p className="mb-3">
The charges are used to pay the costs of running the product, including
the costs of marketing, development and distributing it. These charges
reduce the potential growth of your leverage position, and increase the
likelihood of liquidation. At any point in time, Mango DAO can choose to
increase, decrease or remove fees:
</p>
<ul className="ml-6 list-outside list-disc">
<li className="mb-3">
Loan Origination Fee: This is a one-time fee applied to the USDC or
SOL borrowed, which increases the borrower&apos;s liabilities. It
typically ranges from 1 to 100 basis points.
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
Loan Fee Rate, This represents a percentage fee applied to the USDC or
SOL borrowed, also contributing to an increase in liabilities. The fee
rate falls within a 0-10 percent Annual Percentage Rate (APR).
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
Collateral Fee Rate, This is a percentage fee for boosting JLP,
assessed on the collateral deposited by the borrower. It fluctuates
based on the ratio of weighted liabilities to weighted collateral,
affecting the overall cost of borrowing.
</li>
<li className="mb-3">
Swap Fees, When positions are initiated by swapping USDC or SOL for a
derived token through the most efficient route, swap fees may be
incurred as part of the slippage. This fee affects the cost and
efficiency of the transaction.
</li>
</ul>
<h3 className="mb-3">8. JLP and LST Specific Risks</h3>
