Yield Basis

Yield Basis (YB) is the native token of YieldBasis and is commonly referred to as its governance token. Governance is exercised by locking YB into veYB, which grants voting power over emission gauges and access to the protocol’s fee share. The protocol pairs deposited BTC with borrowed crvUSD to run a constant 2×-leveraged BTC/crvUSD position on Curve at ~50% debt-to-value, targeting linear BTC exposure while earning trading fees. Holders of ybBTC can stay unstaked to receive BTC-denominated fees or stake to earn YB emissions; veYB voting directs how emissions are allocated across markets. A dynamic admin-fee curve splits fees between unstaked ybBTC and veYB, adjusting with staking levels. The project is attributed to Michael Egorov.
