At YO, our mission has always been simple. Help users earn the best risk-adjusted yield in DeFi, automatically, from any chain, and without the noise. Now, we’re adding another layer of value with YO Points.

Starting today, YO users can begin earning points as they deposit and participate across the YO ecosystem. It’s the first step in aligning our most active users with the long-term growth of the protocol.

What are YO Points?

YO Points are our native reward system, earned on top of the real yield you’re already receiving through YO vaults.

They’re designed to reward the users who contribute the most to YO’s success, whether that is simply holding yoTokens, referring friends to join YO, or using your yoTokens across DeFi (more below).

How to earn YO Points?

Just like our core product, we made earning YO Points super easy to understand.

1. Daily Drop + Multiplier

   1 point per $1 deposited into any YO vault, every day.

   Simple as that. No claiming, no complicated formulas.

   Points drop once daily and are automatically tracked in-app.

   View your total with the live counter on app.yo.xyz

   To reward early users, we’re launching with a boosted multiplier that decreases over time. The earlier you deposit, the more points you’ll stack.

   We’ll also introduce additional multipliers through future partnerships and onchain activity, giving you more ways to boost your yield + points.

2. Referrals

   You’ll soon be able to earn points by referring others to YO.

   Every time a friend deposits using your referral code, you’ll earn more, and they will too. It’s our way of rewarding community growth.

3. DeFi activities (coming soon)

   DeFi is fundamentally about composability, and we believe composability should be rewarded.

   Soon, you’ll be able to boost your points by using your yoTokens across DeFi.

   Here’s a glimpse at what’s coming:

   -LPing with yoETH, yoBTC and yoUSD on Balancer and other DEXs

   -Depositing into Pendle yield markets with your yoTokens

   -Using yoTokens as collateral or lending them across DeFi

   These use cases aren’t live yet, but the infrastructure is coming, and the rewards will reflect how you use your assets onchain.

Why we built YO Points

The DeFi points meta is everywhere, but it’s often chaotic, unsustainable, and full of games.

We built YO Points differently:

✅ You don’t need to choose between yield and points

✅ You don’t need to rotate between farms or game the system with new wallets

✅ You earn simply by participating, and the upside scales with your contribution

This is yield with long-term upside.

What’s next?

This is just the beginning of our points program. We'll be rolling out additional ways to earn points in the coming days and weeks. Stay tuned for exciting new points announcements with new partnership launches, liquidity pools and much more.
