Yield Basis is an on-chain liquidity protocol designed to address impermanent loss in AMM pools by allowing liquidity providers to maintain direct spot exposure to assets while earning organic yield. The protocol supports Bitcoin-wrapped tokens (cbBTC, tBTC, WBTC) and WETH as yield-bearing assets, with markets showing $190M+ in total TVL across four active pools. Its technical approach separates trading yield (earned from pool rebalancing activity) from token yield (YB emissions), giving LPs a configurable risk/reward profile. The protocol raised $5M via a public token sale and includes governance, vote-locking, and airdrop mechanics typical of a veToken-style DeFi system.

YieldBlox is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governed money market protocol deployed on the Stellar Network. The protocol facilitates on-chain lending and borrowing through the Blend Protocol, utilizing Soroban Governor smart contract infrastructure for governance and operational management. The system operates as YieldBlox V2, with an active liquidity pool accessible via mainnet.blend.capital. Governance is administered through Soroban Governor, with YBX token holders participating in proposal submission and voting through a designated governance portal. The protocol serves participants within the Stellar ecosystem who require access to decentralized credit markets. Community engagement and coordination occur through Discord and Twitter channels.

YieldClub is a mobile app that routes user deposits into DeFi lending protocols to generate 5–12% APY on stablecoins, with earnings compounding every 16 seconds and no lockup periods. The app uses Privy for self-custodial wallet management, meaning YieldClub never takes direct custody of funds. A flagship 'Autopilot' feature automatically converts accrued stablecoin yield into Bitcoin at regular intervals, allowing users to accumulate BTC without touching their principal. Onramps include ACH bank transfer, debit card, and USDC/Coinbase transfers, and the app also supports spot trading of BTC, ETH, and XRP. The project raised a $2.5M pre-seed round in June 2025.

YieldNest is a liquid restaking protocol on Ethereum that aggregates multiple decentralized finance yield strategies into unified liquid tokens. The protocol offers four primary products: ynETHx, which enables ETH restaking through EigenLayer; ynRWAx, which provides yield exposure to real-world asset products; ynUSDx, a stablecoin yield product; and STAK, a token integrated with StakeDAO. The protocol operates through a decentralized autonomous organization structure with on-chain governance mechanisms. Security audits are published on GitHub. The protocol engages LlamaRisk for risk assessment services. The system functions by pooling user deposits into vaults that execute underlying yield-generating strategies, with liquid tokens representing user positions and enabling secondary market trading.

Zashi is a non-custodial wallet application for mobile and web platforms that operates exclusively with Zcash. Developed by Electric Coin Co., the organization responsible for the Zcash protocol, the wallet is designed to route all transactions through shielded pools by default. These shielded transactions employ zero-knowledge proofs to encrypt sender identity, receiver identity, and transaction amounts, rendering this information cryptographically private and untraceable on the blockchain. The wallet incorporates integrated Tor network functionality to provide network-level privacy protections alongside the on-chain privacy mechanisms. It supports unified addresses, which enable automatic routing of transactions to the most private available transaction type. Users retain full control of their private keys, with no custodial access granted to the development team or any third party.
