Yearn · interactive mechanism simulation

Depositors mint yVault shares → the vault allocates capital into strategies routed through lending markets and Curve pools → harvested rewards pay a performance fee to the Treasury and compound back into the vault, raising the share price. Edit the parameters and watch the flywheel change.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror Yearn's researched mechanism (yVault shares, strategy routing through lending/Curve, socialized-gas harvesting, a performance fee, and treasury buyback-and-build), but deposit sizes, APY, and timing are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. The "trigger exploit" button illustrates vault drain risk loosely modeled on the Feb 2021 yDAI incident; it is not a record of that event. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
