# Introduction

**Automate your crypto yield with intelligent AI agents on Waves blockchain**

Pupas Protocol combines artificial intelligence with DeFi mechanics to provide automated yield generation through intelligent investment strategies. Stake USDTu tokens, receive LP tokens, and earn yield through AI-driven price appreciation.

## Quick Start

1. **Connect Wallet** → Visit [pupas.ai](https://pupas.ai)
2. **Stake USDT** → Any amount (USDT-ERC20 or USDTu)
3. **Receive LP Tokens** → Get LP tokens representing your stake
4. **Earn Yield** → AI agents optimize your returns automatically

## Key Features

* **AI Investment Agents**: Automated lending/staking strategies on Waves DeFi protocols
* **Hourly Oracle Updates**: LP token prices updated every hour via smart contract
* **Multi-Token Support**: Stake USDT-ERC20 or native USDTu tokens
* **4-Agent Chat System**: Get support from specialized AI assistants
* **Waves Blockchain**: Fast, low-cost transactions on Waves ecosystem

## How It Works

```
Stake USDTu/USDT-ERC20 → Get LP Tokens → AI Invests → LP Price ↑ → Withdraw Profit
```

1. **Stake**: Deposit USDTu/USDT-ERC20 tokens to receive LP tokens at current price
2. **AI Investment**: Investment agents find and invest in best lending/staking protocols
3. **Price Updates**: Oracle updates LP token price every hour based on pool performance
4. **Withdraw**: Burn LP tokens to receive USDTu/USDT-ERC20 at current LP price

## Formula

```
LP Token Price = (Total Pool Balance + Current Account Balance) / Total LP Tokens
Withdrawal Amount = LP Tokens × Current LP Price
```
