YOligarchy: YO's New Ambassador Program

By YO
Community

We're building something special at YO, and we're looking for creators who are excited about yield optimization and DeFi innovation to join us in building it.

Why YO Matters

YO isn't just another yield vault. We're building the yield abstraction layer: a unified infrastructure that connects your capital to the best opportunities across all of DeFi. Our algorithm continuously reallocates assets across 100+ yield opportunities spanning major chains and protocols like Aave, Morpho, Curve, and Euler.

While other vaults lock you into a single chain, YO's multichain routing and risk-adjusted optimization means your capital is always working harder. YO integrates Exponential's risk framework to evaluate every asset and protocol, going beyond finding the max APY to deliver yield that is both safe and sustainable.

Building Something Different

Most creator programs in DeFi feel transactional: Post, get paid, move on. But the best creators want more than that - they want to build with protocols they actually believe in, grow alongside communities they care about, and create content that genuinely helps people.

That's what the YOligarchy is about.

We're looking for creators who want to dig deeper than surface-level promotion. People who see the potential in what we're building and want to help others understand it too.

Enter the YOligarchy

The YOligarchy is our pilot ambassador program for creators who want to grow with YO Protocol.

This is your chance to get in early with a team that's solving real problems in yield farming.

We're looking for creators who:

  • Want to explain complex DeFi concepts clearly and help users navigate yield strategies
  • See the value in multichain optimization and risk-adjusted returns
  • Create content that educates rather than just promotes
  • Want to build genuine relationships with their audiences around DeFi

This is perfect for those who:

  • Love diving deep into protocol mechanics and sharing insights
  • Want to grow their following alongside a growing protocol
  • Are excited about being early advocates for innovative DeFi infrastructure

How It Works

Every week, we're rewarding our top contributors with $1,000 total:

  • 1st Place: $500
  • 2nd Place: $300
  • 3rd Place: $200

We'll evaluate contributions via a “Creator Score” based on:

  1. X Content Quality: Educational threads, insightful analysis, engaging content that helps users understand YO
  2. Community Impact: Referrals that bring real users and capital to our vaults

To participate, fill out our ambassador form to track your contributions and referral metrics. This helps us recognise outstanding work and reward the creators making the biggest impact.

Each week, winners will be announced on our X (previously Twitter) page and receive their rewards on their linked wallet.

Getting Started

The program launches tomorrow. Here's how to join:

  1. Fill out the ambassador form to get started
  2. Create content that explains YO's value and helps users understand yield optimization
    • Follow @yield and @yield_intern on X
    • Content needs to tag/mention @yield
    • If you stop following the accounts, the content won’t be taken into account
  3. Share your referral link to bring users into YO
  4. Be part of our community for the long term :)

This is a pilot program, so we'll be iterating and improving based on feedback. We want this to work for both YO Protocol and the creators who choose to build with us.
