RWA Yield Integrations
As Yala evolves, sustaining yield in all market conditions becomes essential. While DeFi-native yield strategies are powerful, they often rely on cyclical market behavior or protocol incentives. To strengthen the protocol’s long-term stability and offer consistent returns to $YU holders, Yala is integrating Real World Assets (RWAs) into its yield strategy.
Why Real World Assets?
RWAs refer to tokenized versions of traditional financial instruments—such as short-term government bonds, Treasury bills (T-Bills), and commercial paper—that offer stable, predictable returns. These instruments are commonly used by institutional investors in traditional finance and are now becoming accessible on-chain.
RWAs benefit Yala by:
Reducing reliance on DeFi incentives during bear markets
Delivering steady APY to support the Yala Savings Rate (YSR)
Attracting more capital by offering real-world, risk-adjusted yield
Providing diversification to protect users from on-chain volatility
Yield Strategy Phases
Phase 1: Conservative Fixed Income
Yala’s first phase focuses on integrating tokenized, low-risk, short-term assets:
Treasury Bills (T-Bills)
Government Bonds
Tokenized Money Market Funds
These instruments:
Offer low volatility
Are highly liquid
Support stable, baseline yield for $YU holders
Phase 2: Advanced TradFi Strategies (Future)
In a later phase, Yala may integrate more sophisticated strategies such as:
Market-neutral hedge fund products
Delta-neutral arbitrage
Tokenized credit and receivables
These strategies require robust risk management and are aimed at more advanced or institutional users.
Strategic Benefits
Yield Resilience: RWAs can support stable yields even when DeFi activity slows.
Risk Management: Real-world assets offer predictable risk-return profiles.
Sustainable YSR: Backed by yield-bearing RWAs, the Yala Savings Rate becomes more reliable over time.
Partnering for RWA Access
Yala is actively exploring integrations with leading RWA infrastructure providers like Centrifuge, which specialize in tokenizing and bringing real-world yield on-chain. These partnerships ensure compliance, transparency, and on-chain liquidity for Yala users.
