Epoch 0 Deadline Approaching
Yearn Finance's stYFI migration reaches a critical milestone as Epoch 0 concludes at 00:00 UTC Thursday - approximately 6 hours from now.
Action Required:
- Migrate veYFI positions to stYFI
- Stake liquid locker tokens
- Stake YFI directly
What's at Stake: Users who complete migration before the deadline will be eligible for rewards in the upcoming 2-week epoch. Legacy veYFI holders can activate boost benefits that decay linearly from 2.0 to 1.0 as locks expire.
sdYFI, upYFI, and coveYFI token holders have the option to stake for earnings or trade tokens for YFI.
The great stYFI migration is in full swing! Epoch 0 ends tonight, so if you want to earn rewards in the next 2 week epoch, you need to migrate your veYFI positions to stYFI, stake your liquid locker tokens, or stake your YFI. Epoch ends at 00:00 UTC thursday (in ~6hrs)
Yearn Finance Activates Revenue Distribution for YFI Stakers
Yearn Finance has begun distributing revenues to YFI token holders who stake their tokens. Users can stake through three methods: - **Direct veYFI staking** - Lock YFI tokens to receive veYFI and earn rewards - **Liquid locker protocols** - Stake through platforms like 1up, Cove, or StakeDAO - **Boosted vault deposits** - Earn enhanced yields on vault deposits **How rewards work:** Every two weeks, veYFI holders vote to direct dYFI rewards to specific vaults. Your reward rate depends on your veYFI balance: - Minimum boost: 10% (1x) with no veYFI - Maximum boost: 100% (10x) with sufficient veYFI - Boost requirements vary by deposit size and vault Liquid lockers allow YFI holders to rent out their voting power to vault depositors, who pay a small fee in exchange for higher yields. Vault rewards auto-compound, while dYFI rewards require manual claiming through the liquid locker interface. Users can calculate optimal veYFI amounts using Yearn's boost calculator tool.
Yearn V3 Powers $18M+ in Fixed-Rate Lending Through Term Integration
Term Labs built fixed-rate lending vaults on Yearn V3's infrastructure, managing over $18M in automated yield. The integration demonstrates Yearn's modular vault framework in action. **How it works:** - Term focused solely on fixed-rate lending logic, plugging into Yearn's TokenizedStrategy - The framework handles all ERC-4626 mechanics: deposits, withdrawals, share accounting, and fees - Term's vaults automate auction participation, reinvest proceeds from maturing loans, and rebalance idle funds - Risk curators propose portfolio constraints enforced on-chain Yearn V3 supports diverse products on the same infrastructure - from Curve's donation-based scrvUSD ($36M) to Term's complex lending strategies. Protocols can inherit from BaseStrategy and delegate vault operations to TokenizedStrategy automatically. [Build on Yearn V3](http://partners.yearn.fi)
Term Labs Automates Fixed-Rate Lending Through Sealed-Bid Auctions and Yearn-Based Vaults
**Term Labs** operates sealed-bid double auctions for fixed-rate lending, where lenders and borrowers submit hashed bids and the protocol determines a single clearing rate. **The Challenge:** - Manual participation in auctions - Time-consuming position rolling - Inefficient idle capital management between cycles **The Solution:** Term's vaults built on [Yearn's framework](https://yearn.finance) automate the entire process: - Automatic auction participation - Reinvestment of proceeds from maturing loans - Rebalancing of idle funds into floating-rate lending protocols Risk curators propose portfolio constraints that smart contracts enforce on-chain, creating a more efficient and hands-off lending experience.
