Common questions about Tempest.

Who is the Team behind Tempest?

Tempest is built by current and past core contributors from two leading Defi Protocols, Swell Network and Kyber Network. Tempest was started to built better liquidity solutions for users in both LP Performance and Also UI.

Where does Tempest yield come from?

Tempest Vaults actively LP into Ambient Finance and so generate a major portion of their yield from trading fees. This is organic and real yield directed to Tempest users for the service their liquidity provides to traders routing through Ambient. Tempest Vaults will also earn a variety of points from Tempest, Ambient, Swell and more. Quantifying the yield from these points is extremely subjective and ultimately up to the user.

What are the risks associated with using Tempest?

Being built by industry veterans, Tempest has always had security at the forefront. While we have taken the upmost care in order to derisk the chance of a smart contract bug, there is ultimately a non-zero chance that a bug exists in the deployed smart contracts.

Has Tempest been Audited?
