YFII, also known as DFI.MONEY, is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform created as a fork of yearn.finance (YFI). Launched in July 2020, its goal is to maximize returns for DeFi investors. YFII introduced a "killer product" called the Vault and has its native token called YFII. The token has a fixed supply and is earned by liquidity providers through their involvement in the network.
DFI.MONEY originated from a hard fork of yearn.finance in response to the end of YFI token mining and the YIP-8 proposal's failure. YFII has its unique protocol rules and additional features, appealing to users of yearn.finance and newcomers in the DeFi space.
One standout feature is the Vault, which automatically aims for the highest returns based on user-submitted strategies, eliminating the need for manual transactions. DFI.MONEY positions itself as community-owned and does not provide commercial incentives by default. Users earn YFII tokens by participating in liquidity pools with Curve (CFI) or Balancer (BAL).
YFII operates on the ERC-20 standard with a fixed supply of 40,000 YFII. No premine, presale, or developer-allocated tokens were taken from the total supply, according to YIP-8. Tokens are distributed based on liquidity provision, and rewards decrease weekly. The token distribution was completed ten weeks after it began, concluding at the end of September 2020.
