Base asset yield represents the fundamental rate of return earned directly from holding or staking a primary digital asset. This yield originates from the intrinsic economic functions of a blockchain protocol, such as block rewards for validators or transaction fees distributed to participants. It is distinct from additional returns gained through complex decentralized finance strategies built atop the foundational asset. The calculation often reflects the network’s security budget and participation incentives.
