What is yearn.finance (YFI)?

Yearn.finance is a gateway protocol for multiple decentralized finance (DeFi) products on the Ethereum network. In the wake of 2020’s DeFi boom, Yield farming, an aspect of DeFi that involves moving crypto assets around to earn, became popularized. Developed by Andre Cronje in 2020, Yearn allows its users to switch their crypto assets between the yield farming protocols while maintaining the core tenets of decentralization.

Yearn.finance is an automated yield farming protocol with several sophisticated tools, including APY, Earn, Vaults, Zap, to ease user experience. These tools have been streamlined to achieve an end; they allow users to compare % p.a. rates, identify best yield farming strategies, then earn the highest yields by lending and trading with these tools.

Yield farming and the whole concept of decentralized finance were deemed a little “geeky” at the initial advent; however, Yearn’s finance attempt to create a gateway to multiple products in the ecosystem by simply depositing a USDT, DAI, USDC, or any other stablecoin proved to be a big game-changer for the ecosystem.

Besides operating as a gateway to multiple protocols in the ecosystem, Yearn finance allows users to earn YFI, the platform’s native token while locking up their stablecoin in Yield finance smart contracts. YFI has grown rapidly over the past year, boasting over a billion dollars in fully diluted market capitalization.
