Investment Risk

Baseline risk

All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some ‘baseline’ risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.

Investment risk: The performance of most crypto-assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto-assets.

Lack of protections: Crypto-assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto-asset investments.

Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.

Defi tokens

Decentralised Finance (or ‘DeFi’) tokens (e.g. , ) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology.

Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens.

Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralized manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets.

For example, the Perpetual Protocol (PERP) and Quickstop (QUICK) protocols may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the available activity may need to be regulated now or in the future. If a regulator deemed the activity to be in breach of regulation, this could seriously impact token value.

Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or ‘oracles’. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols.

Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

About yearn.finance

Yearn.finance (YFI) is an Ethereum token that governs the Yearn.finance platform. The platform is a yield optimizer that moves funds around the decentralized finance (“defi”) ecosystem in an effort to generate a high return.

Yearn.finance (YFI) is a service that aims to simplify the intricate world of decentralized finance (DeFi) for users. It employs automation to assist users in optimizing their potential returns from yield farming. Launched in February 2020, the platform serves as an aggregator for DeFi protocols, striving to bring a competitive yield to those who stake cryptocurrency. The platform's in-house token, YFI, is earned by users through providing liquidity. Token holdings dictate governance privileges, enabling users to participate in the platform's decision-making process.

Yearn.finance operates by utilizing various custom tools to act as an aggregator for DeFi protocols. It strives to simplify DeFi activities such as yield farming for a wider user base. The platform generates revenue by imposing withdrawal fees and gas subsidization fees, which can technically be altered by consensus at any time due to its governance model. New features are continually introduced, aiming to help maintain the long-term value of the platform. Users of yearn.finance earn YFI tokens through providing liquidity.

Yearn.finance is designed for users who may not have the time or technical knowledge to delve into the increasingly intricate DeFi landscape, or who wish to optimize their returns. By acting as an aggregator for DeFi protocols, it allows users to stake their cryptocurrency and potentially receive a competitive yield. The platform also offers governance privileges to YFI token holders, enabling them to participate in decision-making processes. This makes yearn.finance a potentially useful tool for individuals, DAOs, and other protocols seeking to earn yield on their digital assets.

Yearn.finance was launched in February 2020 by Andre Cronje, who had previously departed from the iEarn project. After its launch, the platform experienced growth as new products were introduced and the in-house token YFI was released in July. The platform's situation has since changed, with assets under total value locked coming in at just over $1 billion as of the end of September 2020. Cronje, who has experience in cryptocurrency and DeFi, continues to contribute to the platform's development.
