what's yuzu money?
Yuzu Money is a DeFi protocol focused on providing high-yield stablecoin strategies, particularly through leveraged looping on Ethena Labs' products such as sUSDe, USDe, and Pendle Principal Tokens (PT). The project emphasizes risk-managed yield farming with an innovative oracle framework that reportedly prevented any losses during the recent USDe depeg event by using fundamental or hardcoded price feeds for stability. Built with a focus on the Plasma ecosystem, Yuzu Money aims to launch a native high-yield stablecoin to enhance liquidity and accessibility in DeFi. Its smart contracts have undergone audits by top firms like Pashov Krum Audit Group, securing protocols with over $20B in TVL, including Ethena. Key features include zero-loss strategies during market volatility, integration with Ethena's synthetic dollar ecosystem, and upcoming expansions for stablecoin yields on Plasma mainnet.
