Underlying Strategies
Principles & Mandate
Yuzu Money’s strategies are:
100% on-chain and verifiable via Accountable dashboard
Bound by the Asset Whitelist
Prioritizing capital preservation over yield
[DeFi Suite] Tranched based protection (Overcollateralized yzUSD senior tranche supported by yzPP junior tranche and Reserve Fund)
This page explains the main strategy buckets which backing assets are deployed into. A live view of underlying strategies exposure is available on Yuzu Money's Accountable dashboard (Strategy Breakdown section).
Strategy Buckets
At a high level, backing strategies include but are not limited to:
DeFi liquidity provision
Leveraged strategies
Private TVL programs
Pre-deposit vaults
Airdrop / points & incentives farming
1. Leveraged strategies
Leveraged strategies on correlated assets, particularly where oracles are robust (e.g. hard-coded bands, long TWAPs, or fundamental backing).
Examples include:
Leveraged USDe / stables
Leveraged syrupUSDC / stables
The goal is to earn a spread between supply and borrow yields (plus incentives) while staying within LTV and liquidation thresholds.
2. Private TVL programs
Yuzu Money partners directly with protocols in private TVL programs.
These deals often come with improved economics (higher base yield, upside sharing, or bespoke incentives) in exchange for committed TVL.
All such deals are backed by whitelisted collateral and venues and must pass the same risk assessment as public strategies.
3. Pre-deposit vaults
Ecosystems and/or protocols may offer pre-deposit programs where yield is boosted for early committed capital before a strategy is fully live.
Yuzu Money may allocate to such pre-deposit vaults when the underlying strategy, protocol, and asset risks have been reviewed and whitelisted.
4. Airdrop / points & incentives farming
Backing assets may be deployed into strategies that earn airdrop / points / incentive rewards from emerging protocols.
These strategies must still be fundamentally sound on an asset backing basis; with their points / airdrops / incentives treated with conservative estimates.
Any realized tokens or incentives from such programs accrue back to the protocol’s economic engine and Reserve Fund.
