Sierra launches first Liquid Yield Token on Avalanche
Sierra Protocol launches the first Liquid Yield Token with dynamic rebalancing on the Avalanche network. Backed by stablecoin reserves, tokens accrue yield immediately.
- The Sierra Protocol has launched its Liquid Yield Token SIERRA, which offers instant, permissionless yield generation without lock-up periods, minimum investments, or hidden fees.
- Powered by OpenTrade, the LYT employs a dynamic rebalancing strategy that diversifies yields across institutional RWAs and DeFi protocols, enhancing transparency, security, and flexibility for investors.
Users can receive permissionless access to the Liquid Yield Tokens immediately by swapping their USDC holdings with any wallet on the protocol’s web app or on Avalanche ( AVAX )’s DEX LFJ, previously known as Trader Joe.
After purchasing the token dubbed SIERRA , it will start generating yield immediately. What sets the token apart from other LYTs is that it does not require a lock up period, investing minimums, hidden fee payments or staking in order to earn yield.
The token comes provides holders with a Transparency Dashboard that grants them real-time insights into detailed data in the form of key metrics. The dashboard can be accessed directly through the website and can be downloaded in the form of CSV or API to help traders make informed decisions.
Powered by business-to-business-to-consumer platform OpenTrade, the protocol’s LYT implements a flexible reserves management strategy that uses investment-level RWAs as well as blue-chip DeFi protocols. This means that the LYT will be able to take advantage of OpenTrader’s ‘yield-as-a-service’ infrastructure for stablecoins to allocate reserves into RWA yield sources.
OpenTrade CEO, Dave Sutter said that the protocol’s new product represents “fresh approach to liquid yield tokens” that showcases a shift in the DeFi ecosystem. OpenTrade will function as the protocol’s technical foundation.
“Seeing the unique way Sierra utilizes OpenTrade’s institutional-grade infrastructure makes supporting its future growth so exciting. We look forward to continuing to support Sierra and its ecosystem for a long time to come,” said Sutter in his statement.
Sierra’s dynamic rebalancing strategy
The Liquid Yield Token makes history as being the first of its kind to have a diversified yield portfolio that consists of investment-level RWAs and major DeFi protocols. Moreover, Sierra’s portfolio gets dynamically rebalanced based on the protocol’s own risk framework.
Dynamic rebalancing is an investment strategy that adjusts asset allocation of a portfolio based on changing market conditions, economic outlooks, or other factors rather than sticking to a fixed schedule.
Through the partnership, OpenTrade’s platform manages the workflow for all of Sierra’s yield sources through a single protocol. In addition, its institutional-grade process can enhance the protocol’s platform security. The token’s RWA collateral is stored in major financial institution accounts and managed by an FCA-regulated asset manager, while all DeFi vaults utilize Fireblocks’ whitelisting and policy-enforcing features for crypto asset custody.
Core Contributor of the Sierra Protocol, Mitchell Nicholson stated that the protocol’s reserve management strategy combined with its dynamic rebalancing capabilities, make the token an attractive asset for DeFi users.
“We look forward to announcing many partnerships over the coming weeks that provide SIERRA with enhanced utility across both DeFi and CeFi,” said Nicholson.
