Yield Basis YB

Yield Basis is a decentralized yield protocol developed by Mikhail Egorov, founder of Curve Finance. It is an AMM-based DeFi protocol designed to eliminate impermanent loss for liquidity providers seeking higher yields on BTC or ETH. Yield Basis initially aims to help tokenized Bitcoin and Ether holders earn yield from market making while mitigating impermanent loss. The protocol utilizes 2× leverage on liquidity, allowing liquidity providers to borrow additional funds in the form of crvUSD—Curve Finance's decentralized stablecoin—to double their liquidity position in a trading pool, such as BTC/USD. The borrowed amount is approximately equal to the USD portion of their deposit.
