YO Labs

San Francisco, CA, 94104, United States

Overview

YO Labs builds and maintains YO Protocol, an automated yield-optimization system that rebalances capital across multiple DeFi protocols while continuously factoring in quantified risk. The platform offers vaults such as yoETH, yoUSD, yoBTC, yoEUR and yoGOLD, giving users exposure to yield on assets ranging from USD and EUR to BTC and gold. Its core innovation is a “Risk-Adjusted Yield” engine, powered by Exponential.fi’s transparent DeFi risk-scoring framework, which analyzes thousands of risk vectors before deploying funds. To mitigate cross-chain security issues, YO Protocol uses an "embassy" model that holds native assets on each supported blockchain rather than relying heavily on bridges. A complementary “DeFi Graph” monitors five levels of protocol dependencies and can trigger automated withdrawals during market stress or protocol failures. With the new funding, the company intends to expand support to additional blockchains and strengthen its infrastructure so fintechs, wallets and developers can embed sustainable yields into their products. Including the latest round, YO Labs has raised a total of $24 million to date.
