About Tranchess

Tranchess is a DeFi protocol inspired by traditional finance's tranche fund structures, where a single fund is split into tranches with different risk profiles. Users can deposit BTC or ETH into Tranchess and receive either BISHOP (conservative, yield-focused tranche) or ROOK (aggressive, leveraged tranche) tokens representing different exposures to the underlying asset. CHESS is the governance token earned by liquidity providers and used for voting. The protocol offers a novel way to get leveraged or yield-enhanced exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum without using perpetual futures.
