$280B in stablecoins sits idle. 87% of all stablecoin supply, earning nothing because the path to yield is full of friction.
We're building Yieldy to fix it in one click. You keep custody.
Starting with the best yield protocols on @Solana.

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

For years i believed that crypto killer app is already here and it's stablecoins! Now im doubling down and bulding a stablecoin yield routing layer with my long time friends @alexdimes7 and @uosvald 🎉
i've been in crypto for almost a decade but most defi opportunities always felt like too much to keep up with.
new protocols, positions, risk, bridging,... most of this needs to be abstracted away.
today we can finally share what we're building to solve this: @yieldy_io.
i'm building it with my cofounders @alexdimes7 and @sopke86.
yieldy is a non-custodial routing layer for stablecoin yield. connect, pick a risk level, earn. all the complexity hidden away behind a beautiful product.
the broader context: defi really built all the building blocks that users can use, but the reality is that most don't. about $280B in stablecoins sits idle onchain. that's 87% of all supply.
we're starting with USDC from @ethereum into a diversified position across vetted @solana vaults. native USDC on both sides via @Circle CCTP.
this product is a culmination of years of experience and continuously identifying the same problem. defi is too complex for regular users to use, although we have all the building blocks. most then default to CEXs with their custodial products, as opposed to giving onchain defi opportunities a chance. rightfully so. the fact that it's technically available doesn't mean there isn't massive information asymmetry at play.
i am really excited to be finally building our version of the solution. one that hopefully helps current stablecoin holders, and expands the entirety of the crypto space along the way.
1/ Today, after months working in the shadow mode, we're going live.
With some of the best minds I've worked with in the last decade, @sopke86 and @uosvald , we're building @Yieldy_io - a one click access to a smarter yield. @ethereum , welcome to @solana yield!
This. 👇The next generation of yield infra will look like routing — users keep custody, sign each intent, see where funds land. The BIS report makes clear why that architectural distinction matters.

cool timing, probably when DeFi is seeing one of the larger shocks in the past 3 years.
however, the failure mode isn't "crypto" per se. The problem is centralizing custody and asking users to blindly trust a company's balance sheet - recreating banking wrapped in different colors, which is essentially yet another better-regulated black box.
we just need infrastructure that permanently separates the logic of finding yield from the custody of the assets
the one that automates yield routing natively on-chain, where users retain full custody, risk caps are hardcoded, and the underlying allocation is 100% transparent.
Crypto founders: Your tech will not speak for itself, especially in a bear market. Nobody wakes up excited about L2 rollup technology. They wake up excited about what it means for them.
Lead with a great story and let the tech prove it.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by how much there is to fix in the world. But pressure clarifies what matters. Those who rise to meet the urgency—with integrity, courage, and creativity—will define the next decade.
I asked ChatGPT: "if the medium is the message, what does that mean for AI?"
It answered that "thinking itself is becoming a shared, mediated activity."
The mediated part is what we should be talking about.
