Yearn Finance

About Yearn Finance

Yearn Finance (YFI) is a decentralized yield aggregation protocol built on Ethereum. It automatically moves user funds across lending platforms like Aave, Compound, and dYdX to maximize returns without requiring manual intervention. Its signature Vaults feature socializes gas costs and automates yield farming strategies, making complex DeFi accessible to passive investors. Governed entirely by YFI token holders and maintained by independent developers, Yearn Finance played a foundational role in establishing the yield farming aggregator category within the broader decentralized finance ecosystem.
