what's yield yak?
Yield Yak is a DeFi yield optimization protocol built on the Avalanche blockchain, specializing in automated vaults that maximize returns through strategies across multiple DeFi platforms. It offers set-and-forget solutions like USD and AVAX vaults that auto-compound rewards and optimize yields without user intervention. Key features include leveraged farming, liquid staking tokens such as yyAVAX and rsAVAX, and integrations with protocols like Aave, Trader Joe, Benqi, and GMX for enhanced APYs. The platform also supports memecoin liquidity mining and AI-driven vaults for dynamic yield hunting. Users can stake the native YAK token to participate in governance and earn additional rewards.
