What is yearn.finance (YFI) and how to get an instant YFI loan

Amidst all the wonderful decentralized finance (DeFi) applications out there, yearn.finance has made a big name for itself due to its ability to let users optimize their earnings on cryptocurrencies through various lending and trading features. Built on a group of protocols that run on the Ethereum blockchain, yearn.finance publishes its services using only complex code. Hence, there is no need for an intermediary financial institution like a custodian or bank. To enhance this, yearn.finance built a system of automated incentives around its native cryptocurrency, YFI.

Users can earn YFI tokens by locking in their cryptocurrencies inside yearn.finance smart contracts. Therefore, yearn.finance capitalizes on this event commonly called “yield farming.” When users lock up their crypto assets in a DeFi protocol like yield.finance, they earn cryptocurrency. The more assets that a user locks in the platform, the more tokens they are awarded by the protocols. 

Yearn.finance was created by Andre Cronje in 2020, an independent developer. The project received no funding from the start nor did Cronje reserve any tokens for himself before yearn.finance launched, making it an extremely rare case amongst other DeFi projects.
