Yearn Finance New Staked Token yETH Might Not Be Launched Yet

Key Points:

• The Yearn Finance community is divided over the introduction of yETH, which monitors a basket of ETH Liquid Staking Tokens.
• The poll is non-binding and is intended to gauge community support in going forward with a binding vote through a snapshot.
• Thus far, 20 individuals have voted, with 11 taking the no side.

It’s possible that the moment hasn’t come to launch yETH, Yearn Finance’s planned token that monitors a basket of ETH Liquid Staking Tokens (LSDs).

According to a survey on the Yearn Finance governance forum, participants are divided on introducing the yETH toen. The poll is non-binding and is intended to gauge community support in going forward with a binding vote through snapshot.

According to Yearn, there are an increasing number of LSDs, each with a unique yield, risk, and decentralization profile, as well as varying degrees of market liquidity. Inefficiencies in market pricing might lead to trading opportunities against the protocol’s underlying supported ETH value.

Staked ETH in a typical liquidity pool is not appropriate for collateral since the pool is only as secure as its least safe Member. However, new LSDs may struggle to establish traction and draw sufficient use and liquidity to compete with existing protocols with huge market shares.

As consumers deposit into a basket of several ETH Liquid Staking Tokens, Yearn ETH (yETH) is created (LSDs). By the diversification of LSDs, yETH allows recuperating the value and, when staked, receiving the accompanying Ethereum PoS staking rewards with a more balanced risk/reward profile.

Several users in the thread discussing the suggestions dispute the necessity for exposure to numerous LSDs since the danger of de-pegging is minimal after the Shanghai update.

Some have complained that yETH’s idea is too similar to already-launched initiatives such as unshETH.

But, with this group not yet firmly unified, it may not be ready to launch yETH just yet. Thus far, 20 individuals have voted, with 11 taking no side with the measure.

As Coincu reported, Yearn Finance said that the breach was caused by existing weaknesses in the yUSDT token’s smart contract. Since the flaw has not been resolved, liquidity providers that transmit LP tokens to downstream protocols are still vulnerable.
