The Protocol

YAM Classic is an unofficial fork of the popular DeFi protocol yam.finance. For those who are familiar with YAM 1.0, you already know how this works. However, there are few changes made to YAM Classic to make this work smoothly.

Changes From YAM 1.0

  1. The rebase bug that crippled YAM 1.0 has been fixed.
  2. The original YAM 1.0 token is added as a staking asset, and can be used to farm YAM Classic. This allows YAM 1.0 holders to easily farm YAM Classic without having to sell their yams.
  3. yCRV is added as a staking asset for more stabilized farming
  4. Protocol token farming (e.g COMP, SNX, AMPL, etc) has been removed, and only YAM 1.0, yCRV, and WETH will be used as the initial staking assets.
