yearn.​finance Announces High-Yield Opportunities with veYFI Vaults

Yearn Finance has integrated InfiniFi points into its yvUSD vault product. Users who deposit into yvUSD now receive: - **Direct pass-through of InfiniFi points** from sIUSD holdings - **Rate-conscious leveraged exposure** to these points - **Higher than market yields** through non-crypto-correlated assets The integration connects Yearn's yvUSD with InfiniFi's staked iUSD (sIUSD). InfiniFi generates yield through real-world assets (RWAs) and locking mechanisms that aren't typically accessible to other DeFi protocols. This partnership allows yvUSD depositors to earn both traditional yields and accumulate InfiniFi points simultaneously.

**Unleveraged siUSD positions** can be immediately un-staked to obtain iUSD, providing users with instant access to their funds. - iUSD functions as a **fully liquid token** with atomic minting and redemption capabilities for USDC - Users can deposit stablecoins to receive iUSD, then stake it for siUSD (liquid, lower risk) or lock it for liUSD (fixed-duration, higher yield) - The system creates **transparent maturity transformation** by matching short-term liquidity needs with longer-duration yield opportunities This structure allows users to choose their preferred risk-reward profile while maintaining the option for immediate liquidity through the iUSD-USDC conversion mechanism.

**Morpho markets** now support leveraged yield strategies for siUSD holders through the yvUSD vault. **Key features:** - The yvUSD vault provides leveraged exposure to siUSD's native yield generation - Returns are amplified compared to standard direct deposits - This builds on Morpho's existing infrastructure, which previously launched USDT Savings Vault with Sky Savings Rate exposure The integration allows users to maximize their returns on siUSD holdings through Morpho's lending markets, offering a more capital-efficient approach than simple deposits.

Yearn Finance is launching an educational series to explain the strategies powering yvUSD, their new stablecoin product. **First Strategy Spotlight:** - The series kicks off with the infiniFi siUSD Morpho Looper - Each installment will break down how individual strategies work and their purpose **yvUSD Integration Ecosystem:** The product already integrates with multiple DeFi protocols including: - Morpho - Circle - infiniFi - Maple Finance - Sky Ecosystem - Pendle Finance More integrations are planned as the product develops. This series aims to provide transparency into the mechanisms behind yvUSD's yield generation.

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: - Base rate: 10% of possible rewards (1x boost) with no veYFI - Maximum: 100% of rewards (10x boost) with sufficient veYFI Liquid lockers allow YFI holders to rent out their voting power to vault depositors. Depositors pay a small fee but receive significantly higher yields through borrowed boost power. Rewards are paid in dYFI, which can be converted to YFI or sold on the market. Vault rewards auto-compound, while dYFI rewards require manual claiming through the liquid locker interface. A [boost calculator](https://docs.yearn.fi/contributing/governance/veyfi-calculator) helps users determine optimal veYFI amounts for their deposits.
