In DeFi, you don’t need more capital to earn more.
You just need to make your capital work smarter & that’s what capital efficiency is all about.
Let’s break it down 👇🧵
1/ What is Capital Efficiency?
Capital efficiency = how effectively you put your money to work.
If your stablecoins are sitting idle, they’re doing nothing.
If they’re deposited, earning yield, and also backing other strategies - they’re capital efficient.
2/ Why it matters in DeFi
DeFi gives you the tools to unlock multiple layers of yield from the same capital:
- Supply assets to lending markets
- Borrow against them
- Loop or reallocate to higher yield pools
- Farm incentives
3/ A real-world example:
Let’s say you have some money.
- In TradFi, you’d maybe get 5% yield at best.
- In DeFi, you could supply to Aave, borrow stablecoins, add LPs, and farm multiple rewards.
Result? Your $1 works like $5-10, depending on how smartly it’s used.
4/ The role of composability
Composability is what makes capital efficiency explode.
Protocols like Euler, Morpho, Pendle, Silo, and YieldFi can be stacked together.
So your assets flow across layers, building value at every stop.
5/ At @GetYieldFi, capital efficiency is native.
yUSD is designed to be used & not just held.
It flows into Pendle, LPs, lending protocols, and smart vaults that reallocate capital automatically.
Capital efficiency, simplified.
