DeFi Yields

Definition

DeFi Yields represent the returns earned by participants in decentralized finance protocols through various activities like lending, staking, or providing liquidity. These returns are typically denominated in cryptocurrency and can fluctuate significantly based on market conditions and protocol demand. Yield generation is a core incentive within the DeFi ecosystem, attracting capital to support decentralized applications and services. The mechanisms for earning these yields are automated through smart contracts, operating without traditional financial intermediaries.
