What is Yield Basis?

Yield Basis (YB) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol designed to unlock sustainable, on-chain yield opportunities for Bitcoin holders. The project enables BTC holders to earn yield in a secure and capital-efficient manner, without facing the impermanent loss that typically comes with automated market maker (AMM) models. Its mission is to make Bitcoin a productive on-chain asset by combining single-asset liquidity pools, automated rebalancing, and decentralized community governance.

At the core of the platform lies the Yield Basis AMM, which allows users to deposit wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC or CBcoin) into isolated liquidity pools. The protocol utilizes Curve’s crvUSD stablecoin to introduce a leveraged, delta-neutral structure, maintaining a 200% collateralization ratio to protect capital and preserve price stability. Through automated rebalancing, the system continuously adjusts to track Bitcoin’s spot price, eliminating the risk of impermanent loss while generating yield either in the form of trading fees or YB token rewards. #YieldBasis $YB
