Yield Generation Tools

Definition

Yield generation tools are decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and protocols designed to help users earn returns on their digital asset holdings. These tools automate strategies such as lending assets to borrowing pools, providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges, or staking tokens in Proof-of-Stake networks. They enable users to put their idle cryptocurrencies to work, seeking to maximize returns through various interest-bearing or reward-distributing mechanisms. These tools represent a core component of the DeFi ecosystem.
