# ynUSD MAX - ynUSDx

ynUSDx is a MAX LRT designed to deliver optimized, risk-adjusted yield from stablecoins. By aggregating top-tier DeFi and RWA strategies spanning lending, liquidity provision, and yield farming, ynUSDx transforms stablecoin exposure into a single liquid, composable asset.

Built on Ethereum L1 for security and settlement finality, it targets APYs of 4–15%+ while giving users the flexibility to scale yield exposure up the risk curve. With its modular design, auto-compounding engine, and dynamic capital allocation, ynUSDx turns passive stablecoins into productive, yield-generating assets, unlocking utility, transparency, and sustainable growth for DeFi users.

## Value Accrual Example

ynUSDx auto-compounds rewards, enhancing token value over time. As yields are generated and compounded, the value of ynUSDx grows.

Value Accrual Example (assuming 12.5% APY for ynUSDx)

ynUSDx does not rebase. Instead, the token's share price increases as the underlying stablecoins generate and compound yield.. No rebasing—value grows via share price.

ynUSDx offers a stable, modular, and high-yield USD exposure for DeFi users, abstracting strategy complexity while ensuring transparency, liquidity, and security.
