Non-Emissions Yield

Definition

Non-emissions yield refers to the financial returns generated from a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol or digital asset investment that do not originate from newly minted tokens or inflationary rewards. Instead, this yield is derived from actual protocol revenue, such as transaction fees, lending interest, or trading fees. It represents a more sustainable and organic form of yield, as it is not dependent on the continuous issuance of new tokens that can dilute value. This type of yield is often considered more robust.
