What is Yearn Earn V2?
Yearn Finance is a suite of products in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) that provides lending aggregation, yield generation, and insurance on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is maintained by various independent developers and is governed by YFI token holders.
Yearn Earn is the first product and is a lending aggregator that optimises the interest accrual process across multiple protocols to obtain the highest rates at all times. Deposits are automatically shifted between dYdX, AAVE, and Compound as rates change.
With Earn integration, we handle the deposit and withdrawal process with Yearn Earn V2 natively on the Onchain app, hence you don’t have to worry about dealing with smart contract calls and we simplify the concept of yTokens and display the estimated interest you’re earning over time.
When your tokens are deposited to the Yearn Earn V2 protocol via Earn, you are transferring them to the Yearn smart contract. In exchange, you get the corresponding yTokens which represent the claim to your lent assets.
Interest isn't distributed but by simply holding yTokens, you'll earn interest as yTokens accumulate interest through their exchange rate — over time, each yToken becomes convertible into an increasing amount of its underlying asset, even while the number of yTokens in your wallet stays the same. Hence, we display an extra warning when you’re trying to send your yTokens to ensure you understand the implication of sending away your claim to lent assets + the accrued interest.
When you decide to withdraw, you are essentially sending yTokens to Yearn to redeem your deposited assets along with the accrued interest based on the yToken <> underlying token exchange rate.

Users should be aware of the risks of possible slashing of staked assets or rewards.

Although it's unlikely, there is a possibility you may lose your staked assets or rewards in case of a network or validator failure. While we've taken measures to reduce these risks, losses incurred as a result of slashing or other on-chain contract security are outside of our control and we shall not have any liability or be responsible for any damages or liabilities suffered from slashing penalties.
