May Update: I've been focused on outreach and education for all things Yearn as well as building the yAudit pipeline.

yETH: We're a couple months away from yETH going live and I've been working on outreach and education about the bootstrap event and the product itself through Twitter spaces and direct outreach. Bootstrap participants and building meaningful use cases for yETH are equally important. Today there are:

Optimism: We started to ramp up $OP rewards slowly adding about $14 million TVL in the past 2 weeks. We'll be adding more vaults and new partners will be building on these vaults in the coming months.

Vaults V3: We have 15 partners who have expressed interest in building and maintaining their own vaults and strategies when V3 is live. We're still a few months from this product going live and I'll continue education about this with direct outreach and Twitter spaces.

Additional products and ecosystems: In May I've connected with new ecosystems where we plan to deploy yVaults in the future. More details to come on this in June. In addition to new ecosystems, yBAL is very close to launch as well as yLQTY. We're actively talking to more projects with the intention of building more yToken products in the same vein as yCRV, yBAL, yLQTY etc.

June Update:

yETH: We’ve kicked off the yETH Bootstrap and we’ve filled 5 spots with approved whitelists. We still have 8 days left and we’re waiting on up to 5 more whitelist applications to come in.

Optimism: TVL has been a little flat around $18-20 million and we’re working to educate partners about our new Velodrome factory vaults and new $yvMAI vault too.

Vaults V3: We’re up to 25 partners who have expressed a commitment to building on Vaults V3. I’ll continue doing direct outreach and education through Twitter spaces too.

Additional products and ecosystems: We’re getting closer to announcing a new ecosystem partner, but we’re not quite there yet. More to come on this in July.
