What is a YieldShare?
An ERC-20 that represents a claim on a vault holding a pool asset. One share is worth totalAssets / totalSupply of the underlying, and that number only goes up as fee income is harvested in. It is an ordinary token, so your wallet, a DEX, or a lending market can all handle it without special support.
How does the yield actually reach me?
It does not arrive as a separate reward you claim. Harvested fees are added to the vault's assets while the share supply stays the same, so each share redeems for more than it did before. If you sell the share, the accrued yield goes with it, priced in.
Can I lose money?
Yes. You still hold the pool's underlying exposure, including impermanent loss on the position and the price risk of the asset itself. YieldShares change the liquidity of the position, not its risk.
What does "private execution" mean here?
Instead of broadcasting a swap that anyone can see and sandwich, you sign an intent describing the outcome you want. A solver competes to fill it and submits the transaction, so your order is not readable in the public mempool before it settles. Vaults ship first; routing follows.
Is there a lockup?
No. Redeem any block. There is no epoch, no queue and no withdrawal delay in the contract.
What is deployed right now?
The vault factory and six vaults are live on Robinhood Chain mainnet, at . Every figure in the app is read from those contracts at load, so what you see is what the chain holds. The contracts have not been audited.
