⛓️ Seeking Yield by Staked - Issue #32
📢 Introducing the Robo-Advisor for Yield (RAY), 🗣️ What is the Internet saying about RAY?, 🌐 ETH2 Interop Success, & 📊 Current Staking and Lending Yields
This is the thirty-second issue of Seeking Yield by Staked, a weekly update about the most interesting things happening in crypto asset staking and lending.
📢 Introducing the Robo-Advisor for Yield (RAY)
Yesterday, we announced the launch of the Robo-Advisor for Yield (RAY), a set of smart contracts that automatically allocate crypto assets to the highest yielding opportunities. RAY is the easiest way for a holder of ETH, DAI or USDC to earn the highest yield available across yield-generating DeFi opportunities.
Users deposit assets into a smart contract and choose which opportunities should be considered. RAY monitors yields and automatically moves holdings to the highest yielding opportunity at any time.
RAY initially supports lending on Compound, dYdX and bZx. Over time, RAY will support staking, the DAI savings rate, arbitrage opportunities, market-making, and other opportunities created by the community. RAY’s development has prioritized security. The code is openly available for review and it has passed multiple rounds of security auditing, most recently by Trail of Bits, a leading security research firm.
The RAY smart contracts are generally available on Ethereum for anyone to access. We also offers an easy to use interface, which can be accessed here.
