Solstice Launches YieldVault: Delta-Neutral Yield on Solana
Solstice (@solsticefi) has launched YieldVault, a Solana-native yield strategies protocol that aims to provide institutional-grade, delta-neutral yield. Despite the search results not revealing the identities of the founders, YieldVault has made a significant impact on the Solana ecosystem.
YieldVault operates by using funding rate arbitrage and tokenized treasury transfers to generate sustainable yield. It is the first such yield layer on Solana, offering a conservative, high-yield DeFi solution with minimal entry barriers. Users lock $USX to mint the yield-bearing token, $eUSX, which continues to earn profits over time, protecting the principal.
The protocol has shown impressive performance since its establishment. In 2024, it generated an annualized revenue of 21.5%, comparable to other DeFi giants like Aave and Compound. Remarkably, it has maintained zero principal loss since 2020. YieldVault offers a stable yield of 21.5% APY, contributing to the growth of the Solana ecosystem, which saw its total value locked (TVL) cross $5 billion in 2025.
However, YieldVault's delta-neutral approach may not entirely shield it from market extremities. It could also face regulatory scrutiny and potential smart contract/oracle violations.
YieldVault, launched by Solstice, has emerged as a significant player in the Solana ecosystem. With its innovative approach to yield generation and impressive performance, it has attracted users and contributed to the growth of the Solana network. Despite potential challenges, YieldVault continues to offer a competitive, stable yield solution in the DeFi space.
