Yearn
Yield aggregator that automatically optimizes your USDC across DeFi lending protocols for the best rate.
Using USDC on Yearn
Yearn Finance is a yield aggregation protocol that automatically moves your deposits between DeFi strategies to maximize returns. For USDC, Yearn's vaults deploy your funds across lending protocols (Aave, Compound, Morpho) and other yield sources, rebalancing as rates change. This means you don't need to manually monitor rates or move funds yourself. Yearn takes a performance fee on the yield it generates (not on your principal). The protocol is deployed on Ethereum and has a strong track record of safely managing hundreds of millions in deposits. Yearn is a good option for users who want DeFi yields but don't want to actively manage positions.
