what's yei finance?
Yei Finance is a decentralized, non-custodial money market protocol built on the Sei Network, enabling users to deposit assets for passive income, borrow through overcollateralized or flash loans, and manage financial risks with advanced tools. It supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies and leverages blockchain technology for secure, efficient, and transparent financial services. The project has expanded with YeiLend for lending, YeiSwap as a DualYield DEX, and Yeiliens as the leading NFT collection on Sei. Recently, Yei Finance launched Clovis Point, a liquidity abstraction layer for seamless cross-chain lending, swapping, and bridging to unify fragmented DeFi liquidity. Clovis operates on a hub-and-spoke model, allowing modular stacked yields across chains and VMs. The protocol has achieved over $600M in deposits at its all-time high and generated $6.6M in annualized revenue.
