About yearn.finance
Yearn Finance is a yield-aggregation protocol on Ethereum that automates moving capital between DeFi strategies in search of the best available return. Depositors hold vault tokens while the protocol handles the underlying positions. YFI is its governance token, notable for a very small fixed supply.
How Yearn Works
Users deposit an asset into a vault, and the vault routes that capital through strategies written and reviewed by the protocol's contributors. Returns are compounded automatically, which saves depositors the gas cost and effort of managing positions by hand. Strategies are swapped out as market conditions change, without depositors needing to act.
The History of Yearn
Yearn was created by Andre Cronje and launched in 2020. The YFI token was distributed entirely to users with no pre-mine, no founder allocation and no sale — roughly thirty thousand tokens in total, a supply small enough that YFI briefly traded above the price of Bitcoin. Governance has been community-led from the outset.
What YFI Is Used For
YFI governs the protocol: holders vote on treasury spending, strategy approvals, fee structures and the wider product roadmap. Its fixed and unusually small supply has also made it a closely watched asset in its own right.

Why buy yearn.finance with YouHodler? +
YouHodler combines advanced security and encryption with a simple way to buy and sell YFI, fast crypto transactions, support for multiple fiat currencies, and a platform that works for newcomers and experienced traders alike.
Is yearn.finance a good investment? +
Yearn pioneered automated yield strategies and YFI has a famously fair distribution and a tiny fixed supply. The flip side is that returns depend on opportunities elsewhere in DeFi, and complex strategies carry smart-contract risk. YFI trades thinly relative to larger assets and is highly volatile — research it before investing.
Can I buy yearn.finance today and sell it tomorrow? +
Yes. YouHodler supports selling as well as buying, so you can acquire YFI and later exchange it for fiat currencies such as USD or EUR. Transactions settle quickly, major fiat currencies are supported, and withdrawals go out by bank transfer.
Is it safe to buy yearn.finance? +
Buying YFI is generally safe on a reliable platform like YouHodler, which applies data encryption, identity verification and multi-layer account protection. The asset itself stays highly volatile, so prices can move sharply over short periods.
How do I convert yearn.finance to cash? +
Connect a bank account, debit card or credit card to your YouHodler profile, exchange your YFI for a fiat currency such as USD or EUR, then withdraw the balance straight to your bank.
