The four indices
YLDX deploys capital through four product indices. Each is a diversified basket, not a single pool — engineered so that no headline APY hides concentration risk.
Overview
| Index | Target APY | Composition | Risk profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stable Pool | 30% | USDC / USDT / DAI stablecoin strategies | Lowest volatility; depeg-monitored |
| Coin Pool | 35% | BTC / ETH majors | Market-correlated; delta-managed |
| DEX Pool | 85% | Top-50 liquid gas tokens | Higher volatility, higher fee capture |
| RWA Index | ~104% | Real-world-asset-backed concentrated liquidity | 3-corridor managed; volatility-rebalanced |
APYs are targets at listing scale, sourced from the YLDX methodology. Live, real-time APYs for each index are computed continuously from on-chain data (DefiLlama, ~13k pools) in the operator console.
Diversification rules (apply to every index)
- ≥ 40 pools per index — breadth so any single protocol failure is survivable.
- ≤ 2.5% of capital in any single position — breaching this cap is an automatic rebalance signal.
- Sustained 30-day APY — transient spikes and outliers are excluded from selection.
- 50+ chains — opportunities are sourced across the whole EVM landscape (and beyond).
Stable Pool
Stablecoin yield from lending markets, stable-stable LPs and structured stable strategies. Continuously screened for depeg risk; lending positions are monitored by health factor. The lowest-volatility entry point into YLDX.
Coin Pool
Yield on BTC/ETH majors via lending, liquid staking and delta-managed LP. Exposure is market-correlated by nature; the operator manages directional risk and avoids over-concentration in any single venue.
DEX Pool
Liquidity provision on the most liquid gas/utility tokens across top DEXs. Higher volatility is compensated by higher fee capture; positions are actively rebalanced and IL is managed through tight scoring discipline.
RWA Index
The flagship index: real-world-asset-backed concentrated liquidity managed by the 3-corridor engine (Core ±10% / Working ±5% / Tactical ±2.5%). This is where YLDX's proprietary liquidity edge lives — see RWA Index — 3-corridor liquidity.
How pools enter and exit an index
- The AI Operator scans 50+ chains and ranks candidates by composite score.
- Top-scored pools enter the deployment set; positions are sized within the 2.5% cap.
- Each pool is re-scored continuously; anomalies (APY collapse, TVL outflow, exploit/governance signals) raise flags.
- The lowest-scored positions form the exit set — withdrawals and de-risking are taken from here first, preserving the index's earning power.
