Yield on USDC. Transparent by design.

Put your USDC to work through transparent onchain lending. Compare three products by variable yield and risk, and check onchain where your USDC is lent.

dyield tokens are yield-bearing vault receipt tokens, not stablecoins, not bank deposits, not insured.

Your yield is calculated by the second and stays invested, so it keeps building.

Today's variable rates

Variable net APY: the vault's current rate from Morpho's public data, after the vault curator's fee and dyield's fee. Network fees are not included. Variable rates. Figures are refreshed regularly and may reflect data from several minutes earlier. Returns are not guaranteed.

Three products, three levels of risk

Each product puts your USDC into one lending vault on Morpho, run by a named professional firm. They are ordered by relative risk. A higher-risk product does not always earn more: rates move with demand to borrow USDC, so a lower-risk product can pay more on a given day. dyield presents; you decide.

dyield Prime™

5.34%Net APY
Lower risk
Strategy

Lends your USDC to borrowers who put up large, widely traded assets, such as Bitcoin and Ether, as collateral.

What sets it apart

The lowest relative risk of the three.

Choose Prime

dyield High™

5.81%Net APY
Medium risk
Strategy

Lends into a wider range of markets than Prime, run by the same firm.

What sets it apart

A step up from Prime in risk, for access to more markets.

Choose High

dyield Ultra™

5.91%Net APY
Higher risk
Strategy

Lends into newer and more volatile markets. The vault's curator moves funds between them automatically, within set limits.

What sets it apart

The highest relative risk of the three. That does not guarantee the highest rate.

Choose Ultra

Risk is relative to the other two dyield products. Getting your USDC back depends on the vault having USDC available. Who runs each vault, its backup and its contracts are listed under Check it yourself.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Pick a product

    Compare the three above. The app works the same way for each.

  2. Step 2

    Add USDC from your wallet

    You get a dyield token back that grows in value as the vault earns. It stays in your own wallet.

  3. Step 3

    Take it out when you want

    Redeem the token for USDC plus what it earned. No lock-up; subject to the vault's available USDC.

You need:
  • A wallet in your browser that supports Base, such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet or Rabby. On a phone, open dyield inside the wallet app's own browser.
  • USDC on Base in that wallet. If your USDC is on an exchange, send it to your wallet on the Base network first.
  • A little ETH on Base for network fees, usually a few cents per transaction.

What you get, and what you risk

What you get

  • Your funds sit in public vaults, never in a dyield account.
  • No lock-up and no minimum.
  • dyield's fee comes from yield only. No yield, no dyield fee. The vault's curator may charge its own fee; rates shown are after both.
  • Every position and every change is recorded publicly on Base.
  • You can exit through the contracts directly, without our website.

What you risk

  • Borrowers or markets can fail, and losses reach the vault.
  • Software can have bugs, including audited software.
  • If a vault's USDC is fully lent out, getting it back can take time.
  • The firms running the vaults can make poor decisions.
  • Nothing is insured. Rates are not guaranteed.

Questions

What does dyield charge?

A performance fee on the yield your USDC earns, never on the USDC itself. If there is no yield, there is no fee. Each vault's curator may also charge its own fee. The net APY shown already has both taken out. The rate is set out in the Terms & Conditions.

How quickly can I get my USDC back?

There is no lock-up. You can redeem your dyield token for USDC in the app whenever you choose. The USDC comes from what the vault has available; if its USDC is fully lent out at that moment, part of a withdrawal may have to wait until borrowers repay or new USDC arrives.

Who can change the products, and would I see it?

dyield's settings are held by named accounts that anyone can look up on Base. Some changes must wait in public before they take effect; others take effect immediately, by the design of Morpho's contracts. Every change is recorded publicly on Base, and you can always check the current settings yourself.

What are Morpho and the curators?

Morpho is a lending protocol on Base whose vault contracts are open source and audited. Curators are independent firms that decide which lending markets a vault uses: Steakhouse Financial and Gauntlet run the vaults dyield uses today, and Clearstar Labs runs the backup vault for High and Ultra. dyield chooses the vaults; it does not direct the curators.

Where does the APY come from?

From Morpho's public data for each vault, with the curator's fee and dyield's fee already taken out. dyield retrieves it regularly, so a figure may reflect data from several minutes earlier. Network fees for your own transactions are not included. It is a recent rate, not a promise. It changes as demand to borrow USDC changes, and a higher-risk product does not always pay more.

Is this a bank account or a stablecoin?

No. dyield tokens are yield-bearing vault receipt tokens. They are not stablecoins, not bank deposits and not insured. Their value can fall if a vault suffers losses.

Who is behind dyield?

LightVessel DAO LLC, a Wyoming DAO LLC. Its filing is public and its name is on every page of this site.
