CIAN, a proven DeFi yield strategy protocol, recently announced the launch of its revolutionary yield layer, a solution designed to address the dual challenges of seeding total value locked (TVL) and maintaining liquidity in chain in the DeFi sector. The innovative solution aims to reshape the growth dynamics of major protocols, restoring DeFi growth in a sustainable manner.
Established protocols and newly launched projects are grappling with sustainable growth in on-chain adoption and liquidity. CIAN research found that a protocol significantly loses growth momentum when its unsustainable token governance incentives cannot keep up with the market. CIAN helps partner protocols overcome this bottleneck by creating a virtual layer that redistributes consolidated external yield sources across the entire crypto space to each protocol’s assets and ecosystem. Dynamic redistribution of assets to various sources of return further optimizes the return of the protocols’ asset holders.
“The purpose of the Yield Layer is twofold,” said Luffy, founder and CEO of CIAN. “First, giving the entire DeFi sector unified access to various sources of yield in the crypto space. Second, restore the growth momentum of major decentralized protocols in a sustainable manner by leveraging external sources of yield. We don’t just offer infrastructure; we provide a catalyst for the long-term growth of the DeFi ecosystem.
The CIAN yield layer addresses critical issues in today’s DeFi landscape:
1. Insufficient returns from established protocols, leading to stagnant growth.
2. Challenges faced by new protocols offering high APYs via airdrop programs, leading to TVL volatility.
3. The unsustainability of relying solely on governance tokens for growth throughout market cycles.
4. Lack of bridging established on-chain assets to organic returns and alphas in the crypto space
Yield Layer’s innovative approach is exemplified in its collaboration with Lido, a leading liquid staking protocol. CIAN has developed a dedicated sETH yield layer for Lido, allowing users to deposit their stETH and access multiple yield strategies based on stETH-aligned Liquid Restoration Tokens (LRT) to increase yield.
“The CIAN Yield Layer is a game changer for DeFi. It connects various external yield sources with protocol growth demand,” commented Matthew Graham, founder of TokenLogic. “Optimizing returns by redistributing crypto yield sources holistically across crypto assets and ecosystems is not just about improving returns, but creating a more efficient and sustainable DeFi ecosystem. .”
The main benefits of the CIAN yield layer include:
1. Focus on scalable and sustainable sources of return, including funding rates, LST, RWA, etc.
2. Improved APY through frequent incorporation of high-quality emerging yield sources.
3. Improved liquidity: aims for a large TVL, thereby increasing the liquidity of partner protocols.
4. Dynamic asset allocation across various yield sources and yield strategies to balance yield optimization with liquidity health.
5. Improved security through multiple iterations of security controls by all protocol partners.
6. 1-click on-chain asset management for asset holders with decentralized automation.
CIAN has maintained an impeccable safety record, with no exploits or liquidations in two years. During this period, it has developed close partnerships with leading DeFi primitives, contributing approximately $160 million to Lido’s TVL and collaborating with protocols such as Aave, Compound and Symbiotic.
While CIAN continues to support most mainstream blockchain networks and crypto assets, its future growth prospects remain strong, especially with the increasing integration of the ETH, Solana and BTC staking/remitting industry and world assets actual (RWA).
