Yearn Description
Yearn Finance is a set of products in Decentralized Finance that provide lending aggregation and yield generation as well as insurance on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is maintained and governed by YFI holders. The first Yearn product was a loan aggregator. As interest rates change between the protocols, funds are automatically shifted between AAVE, dYdX and Compound. These smart contracts are available for deposit via the Earn page. This product optimizes the interest accrual process to ensure end-users receive the highest interest rates across all platforms. Capital pools that automatically generate yield according to market opportunities. Vaults are beneficial to users because they socialize gas costs and automate the yield generation and balance process. They also automatically shift capital when opportunities arise.
