What is Yellow (YELLOW) crypto?

YELLOW is the utility token of the Yellow Network Protocol, a Web3 clearing and settlement network for trading venues. Trades clear off-chain between brokers, exchanges, payment applications and AI agents through state channels, with final settlement recorded on-chain. Yellow Network positions itself as the trust and settlement layer for AI agent commerce. YELLOW itself is a standard ERC-20 token on Ethereum.

How does the Yellow Network Protocol clear and settle trades through state channels?

The Yellow Network Protocol clears trades between venues through NitroLite state channels. Obligations between counterparties settle off-chain, and final outcomes are recorded on-chain on Ethereum. Participants include brokers, exchanges, trading and payment applications, and AI agent developers. Protocol fees are dynamic and run between 0.1% and 0.4%. Development is led by teams associated with Clearsync and Layer3 Fintech.

What is the YELLOW token used for?

YELLOW serves three functions in the Yellow Network Protocol. Node operators post YELLOW as collateral, starting at 10,000 tokens and scaling to 125,000, with slashing enforced through on-chain fraud proofs and a 14-day collateral unlock period. Holders pay for clearing, settlement and data-delivery services at a discounted rate. YELLOW also covers dispute-resolution fees and builder collateral that can be slashed.

Is YELLOW a coin or a token?

YELLOW is a token, not a coin. The asset is a standard ERC-20 contract deployed on Ethereum with EIP-2612 permit support, and Yellow Network does not operate its own blockchain. The token disclaimer explicitly excludes equity, dividends and profit-sharing, which gives YELLOW a utility-only legal posture.

What is YELLOW's total supply?

YELLOW has a fixed supply of 10,000,000,000 tokens, with the maximum equal to the total supply. All tokens were minted at contract deployment to the treasury, and Yellow Network has no new emission and no burn mechanism. The ERC-20 contract address is 0x236eB848C95b231299B4AA9f56c73D6893462720, verified on Etherscan. Official documentation allocates 30% to a Community Treasury, 25% to Network Growth Incentives, 20% to a Foundation Treasury, 12.5% to Token Sales, 10% to Founders and 2.5% to an Ecosystem Accessibility Reserve.

Why does YELLOW's vesting schedule matter to investors?

Per official documentation, the token generation event took place on March 8, 2026. Founders hold 10% of supply on a 6-month cliff followed by 60-month linear vesting. The Community Treasury (30%) and Foundation Treasury (20%) begin releasing after the same cliff, on linear horizons of up to 96 months. Token Sales unlocked 4% at TGE, and the Ecosystem Accessibility Reserve unlocked 100% at TGE. The combined 50% treasury weight creates a multi-year unlock overhang that raises sell pressure in steps well beyond TGE.

Who backed Yellow Network?

Per DropsTab fundraising data, Yellow Network raised $10,000,000 in a Seed Round on September 17, 2024, led by Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple. Participating investors included ConsenSys, GSR, Moonrock Capital, LD Capital, MathWallet, Gate Labs, MV Global, ZBS Capital, Cobo, Noia Capital and NxGen. Moonrock Capital also joined a Strategic Round on March 20, 2022.

What does Yellow Network's funding signal about project maturity?

The backer mix points to trading-infrastructure credibility. Chris Larsen brings payments experience from Ripple, ConsenSys builds core Ethereum infrastructure, GSR operates as a crypto market maker, and Gate Labs belongs to a major exchange group. A public sale on Republic followed on July 16, 2025, raising $1,000,000. The investor allocation itself is capped at 12.5% of total supply, which limits single-backer concentration risk.

Where can you buy YELLOW crypto?

YELLOW trades on decentralized exchanges on Ethereum. Active venues include Uniswap V2 (YELLOW/USDT and YELLOW/WETH pairs), Uniswap V4 (YELLOW/ETH) and Yellow PRO (YELLOW/USDT). DropsTab records no centralized-exchange market for the token. A DEX-only footprint fragments liquidity across separate pools, so larger orders face elevated slippage compared with a consolidated centralized-exchange order book.
