YieldBasis, a new DeFi platform built on Curve, aims to eliminate impermanent loss for liquidity providers by converting volatility into yield. Developed by the original Curve team, the platform employs a three-step leveraged mechanism using Curve’s BTC pool to maintain a 2x BTC exposure while mitigating downside risks. YieldBasis has successfully raised over $50 million from prominent investors, with its BTC pool filling within minutes of launch. The protocol features a self-balancing system through rebalancing AMM and virtual pools, ensuring stable leverage and incentivizing arbitrageurs. It also introduces a tokenomics model with four key tokens—ybBTC, staked ybBTC, YB, and veYB—to distribute fees and governance rights. Since its launch, YieldBasis has generated over $200,000 in fees and facilitated $6 million in rebalancing activity.
