The founder of Curve Finance raised $5 million for the yield basis at a $50 million valuation. The YIELD standard sold 10% of the total token supply, resulting in 100 million YB tokens.
Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov recently secured $5 million in funding on his latest venture, Reave-based funding, with a fully diluted $50 million. The project was designed to help tokenized Bitcoin and Ethereum owners mitigate non-permanent losses while earning yields, overwhelmed investors’ interest and the funding round was overregistered at 15 times.
According to the block, the yield base sells 10% of the total token supply (100 million YB tokens out of a total of 1 billion people) to investors. In particular, the fundraising process began in January 2025 and was completed in just two weeks. Investors will be subject to the six-month cliff, with a two-year linear vesting schedule.
Egorov confirmed that the yield standards are currently in the “production testing” stage and have been audited and tested prior to the official launch. Liquidity pools are expected to be deployed first, but a full rollout containing the project’s native token YB will take additional time.
What is the yield standard?
Non-permanent losses have long been a challenge for decentralized finance (DEFI) liquidity providers. In this case, fluctuations in asset prices can lead to losses despite earning transaction fees. The objective of yield is to tackle this issue by changing the mechanisms of automated market makers (AMMs).
The platform introduces a double leverage mechanism that allows you to borrow CRVUSD (Curve Finance’s Stablecoin). This leverage can help stabilize the liquidity ratio and eliminate non-permanent losses while doubleping revenues on trade charges.
However, utilizing liquidity also involves borrowing costs and rebalancing costs. This results in a basic address by focusing liquidity when trading activity is at its highest. Integrate and utilize Curve’s CryptoSwap AMM

The borrowing costs, yield-based purposes are intended to offset these costs and maintain profitability.
Yield Base initially supports tokenized Bitcoin and Ethereum holders, seeking opportunities for high yields. Historic backtesting suggests that the platform averages APR between 2019 and 2024, peaking at 60% in the bull market in 2021.
If successful, the announcement says harvest standards can be expanded to handle hundreds of billions of liquidity. The strategy is very effective for blue chip cryptocurrency

Egorov acknowledges that more volatile assets like Memecoin may not benefit from the model.
