Yearn V2
multi-strategy vaults algorithmically rotating strategies between DeFi products to hunt for the highest possible yields
strategy vetting process to include new strategies to Yearn
yVaults
deposit assets in the yVault pool to receive interest bearing token yToken, yields earned are automatically compound from up to 20 strategies
the yVault change its strategies capital allocation, each strategy has its capital cap
performance fee is deducted from yield earned every time a vault harvests a strategy
no deposit/withdrawal fees charged
ETH strategy example
deposit ETH, use ETH as collateral to borrow DAI
deposit DAI to DAI yVault
DAI yVault puts DAI into Curve to earn LP fee & get LP tokens
LP tokens are staked in Curve to earn CRV
CRV earned are sold for ETH & compound
as borrowing exposes to liquidity risk, the yVault robot monitor prices & keep collateral at safe level
yCRV
lock CRV to Yearn's veCRV position to get yCRV
yCRV can be activated to st-yCRV & lp-yCRV
st-yCRV (Staking Rewards) - receives weekly admin fees from locked CRV & revenue from selling voting powers (bribes)
lp-yCRV (Liquidity Pool Rewards): receive & auto-compound CRV/yCRV LP fees & emissions
yBribe
voting powers influence the direction of CRV emissions & pools boosting at weekly gauge votes
Buyer - yBrivbe pairs sellers to buyers who are looking for voting power
Seller - veCRV holders receive compensation from buyers
Keep3r - Automated vault housekeeping
harvest & earn functions are automated through the Keep3r bots
Keep3r motivates external entity to perform smart contract actions in good will without malicious result
Keep3rs are responsible to purchase new underlying collateral by selling the earned tokens while moving the profits back to the vault & strategies
Adoption of ERC-4626 standard
standardise & streamline the design of yield-bearing tokens
a shared interface for smart contracts that draw liquidity from deposited tokens for yield farming strategies
allows users to withdraw more than their initial payment based on the amount of profits the vault has generated
apps built on top of ERC-4626 vaults are interoperable
