Yield Basis (YB)

What is Yield Basis

YieldBasis eliminates impermanent loss for liquidity providers with a breakthrough AMM design. Built by Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov, the protocol lets holders keep full exposure to their Bitcoin while earning sustainable yield from trading fees.

With more than $2 trillion in Bitcoin sitting idle, YieldBasis unlocks this capital by allowing holders to earn yield without ever giving up their price exposure. Unlike traditional AMMs, which dilute returns through impermanent loss, YieldBasis ensures deposits track Bitcoin’s price 1:1 while simultaneously capturing real yield from trading activity. Users simply deposit tokenised Bitcoin, such as wBTC, cbBTC, or tBTC, and the protocol automatically manages positions in the background. The result is simple: your Bitcoin continues to behave exactly like Bitcoin, but now it generates income.

The protocol operates through sophisticated automated market makers built on Curve's battle-tested infrastructure, using dynamic rebalancing to maintain precise leverage ratios. As asset prices move, the system continuously rebalances to preserve perfect exposure while capturing trading fees. This approach eliminates the square-root price tracking that causes impermanent loss in traditional AMMs, replacing it with linear price tracking that behaves exactly like holding the underlying asset - but with yield.
