Alpha Homora & Yearn Finance Leveraged yVaults

Yearn v2 will coincide with an update of C.R.E.A.M v2 (Iron Bank) and will enable Yearn yVaults to develop leveraged yield-farming strategies and cross-asset strategies utilizing Alpha Homora. Users will be able to deposit DAI and borrow an equivalent dollar amount of ETH via C.R.E.A.M and enter SushiSwap liquidity pools utilizing Alpha Homora’s leveraged yield-farming product. Users will ultimately be able to obtain 90x leverage on stablecoins or 80x leverage on ETH to farm SUSHI, CRV, ALPHA. If the user uses Yearn yVaults they will also potentially be eligible to earn PICKLE.

Impermanent Loss Protection & Single-Sided LP Solution Being Tested

Yearn contributor Andre Cronje has been developing and testing a potential product offering Impermanent Loss protection & enabling single-sided liquidity for Automated Market Makers (AMMs). This solution would be integrated into SushiSwap, Yearn’s AMM arm, and would help differentiate SushiSwap from other AMMs in the market. Please be aware that this solution is still being tested, and any releases are experimental in nature. More pertinent information will be shared as it becomes available.
