Chainlink Workflow

⬛The Autonomous Hedge Fund System

Apollos Finance is not a static DeFi protocol that waits for user interaction. With Chainlink CRE (Chainlink Runtime Environment), Apollos operates as a 24/7 autonomous system with six parallel workflows designed to:

• protect LPs from real-time market risk,
• keep leveraged positions healthy,
• verify credit-source solvency,
• compute and publish NAV efficiently,
• optimize cross-chain deposits,
• and provide transparent machine decisions through AI logs.

This architecture functions as the Central Nervous System of Apollos.

🛡️1) The Reactive Defender

Core feature: Event-driven LVR protection & anti-JIT defense
CRE template: building-blocks/indexer-block-trigger

Problem

Arbitrage bots can attack pools within seconds during volatility spikes, reducing LP profit through LVR loss.

How It Works

• Listen: monitor new Arbitrum blocks via indexer.
• Detect: identify large swaps (whale alerts) on target pools.
• Analyze: evaluate price/volatility context using Chainlink Price Feeds and Gemini AI.
• Act: execute onchain fee updates (setDynamicFee / updateDynamicFee) in near real-time.

Value

Fast, event-driven LP protection without waiting for long cron intervals.

📊2) The Strategist

Core feature: Health Factor rebalancing & yield optimization
CRE template: starter-templates/custom-data-feed

Problem

If collateral drops sharply, the position risks liquidation. If too safe, capital becomes underutilized.

How It Works

• Monitor: run a 5-10 minute cron to read collateral and debt from Aave via RPC.
• Compute (off-chain): calculate Health Factor (HF) and leverage state in TypeScript.
• Thermostat logic:
  • HF < 1.8 -> deleverage
  • HF > 2.2 -> releverage
• Act: send report/trigger updates to smart contracts to execute rebalance().

Value

Set-and-forget operation: positions are managed automatically 24/7.

🔍3) The Solvency Auditor

Core feature: Lender-liquidity verification (whale monitoring)
CRE template: starter-templates/custom-data-feed

Problem

If a delegator/whale suddenly withdraws liquidity, vault credit capacity can collapse and create repayment risk.

How It Works

• Check: periodically read aUSDC balances and lender liquidity sources.
• Verify: compare lender balance vs total vault debt.
• Circuit breaker: if lender liquidity < vault debt, trigger pauseBorrow() / guard mode.

Value

Prevents systemic failure from credit-line dependency.

💵4) The Accountant

Core feature: Off-chain NAV/share-price computation & feed publication
CRE template: starter-templates/bring-your-own-data/workflow-ts/nav

Problem

Full NAV computation in Solidity is expensive for user deposit/withdraw transactions.

How It Works

• Collect: read idle balances (WETH/WBTC/LINK), Uniswap LP value, and Aave debt.
• Compute (off-chain): NAV = (Idle + LP Value) - Debt.
• Publish: write NAV results to DataFeedsCache through report updates.
• Integrate: ApollosVault reads values through latestRoundData() (oracle-style interface).

Value

Significant gas savings for users and stronger Chainlink-native design.

🔗5) The Cross-Chain Manager (Bridge Optimizer)

Core feature: Cross-chain deposit aggregation (batching)
CRE template: starter-templates/multi-chain-token-manager

Problem

Bridging every small deposit through CCIP is cost-inefficient.

How It Works

• Buffer: hold deposits from secondary chains (for example, Base) in adapter contracts.
• Monitor: track accumulated adapter balances.
• Batch transfer: once threshold is reached (for example, > $1,000), trigger batched CCIP transfer to Arbitrum.

Value

Substantially lower bridge cost for retail users through batching.

📃6) The Reporter

Core feature: Activity logs + AI-readable explanations for users
CRE template: starter-templates/tokenized-asset-servicing

Problem

DeFi systems often look like black boxes: users cannot see why fees changed or why rebalances happened.

How It Works

• Capture: monitor onchain events emitted by guardian/strategist actions.
• Explain: encode action rationale using AI context (Gemini) plus market conditions.
• Publish: send data via HTTP POST to backend logs for display in the "AI Guardian Logs" UI.

Value

Machine-decision transparency, higher user trust, and clearer audit trails.

📄Implementation Notes

• All workflows are designed as modular roles and can be simulated independently:
  • cre workflow simulate workflows/defender --broadcast
  • cre workflow simulate workflows/strategist --broadcast
  • cre workflow simulate workflows/auditor --broadcast
  • cre workflow simulate workflows/accountant --broadcast
  • cre workflow simulate workflows/cross-chain-manager --broadcast
  • cre workflow simulate workflows/reporter --broadcast
• Price data uses Chainlink Price Feeds as the baseline oracle reference.
