Yield Programs

Definition

Yield programs are financial strategies in cryptocurrency that allow users to earn returns on their digital assets. These decentralized finance mechanisms involve depositing or staking digital assets into various protocols to generate passive income through interest payments, trading fee distributions, or the receipt of newly issued tokens. Participants often supply liquidity to automated market makers or lend assets via decentralized lending platforms. The returns, frequently denominated as an Annual Percentage Yield (APY), vary based on market demand, protocol mechanics, and asset volatility.
