Integrate yUSD as Collateral in the Euler Yield Market

Summary

This proposal seeks approval from the Euler community to list YieldFi’s yUSD, a yield-bearing stablecoin, as a collateral asset in the Euler Yield market. Adding yUSD will diversify collateral options on Euler, foster new DeFi strategies, and allow users to supply a productive, high-yield stablecoin while borrowing against it.

Introduction

YieldFi is a permissionless on-chain asset management platform tailored for treasuries, funds, foundations, and individual investors, offering liquid yield bearing tokens across a variety of assets. Since its inception, YieldFi has rapidly grown to $110M in TVL, driven by a commitment to providing transparent, secure, and high-yield decentralized asset management.

Motivation & Context

yUSD is an ERC-20 compliant, fully collateralized, and yield bearing stablecoin issued by YieldFi. The yUSD token is designed as a cross-chain asset management vehicle, offering users 10% to 12% APY on USDT, USDC, and DAI with daily rewards and deep integration in DeFi protocols like Pendle, Morpho, Curve etc.

YieldFi’s yUSD has experienced strong growth in yield and TVL, reflecting increasing user trust and adoption. The token has no lock-in period, offers deep liquidity across several money markets, and can be withdrawn or swapped anytime. yUSD is already supported and traded on major EVM chains.

Benefits to Euler Users
