YO Labs develops the YO Protocol, a non-custodial, cross-chain yield optimizer for crypto assets. It scans over 50 DeFi protocols to auto-identify risk-adjusted yield opportunities and continuously rebalances funds, using Exponential.fi ratings to manage risk. Depositors put assets into vaults and receive yield-bearing ERC-4626 tokens (e.g., yoETH, yoUSD) that grow in value over time. Its goal is to provide a unified yield infrastructure for individuals and institutions and to earn revenue from protocol performance fees; as of December 2025 it raised $24 million, including a $10 million Series A led by Foundation Capital with Coinbase Ventures.
