What this is
A yield stablecoin is a dollar-denominated token issued by an on-chain protocol that generates yield automatically — from basis trades, savings rates, treasury interest, institutional lending, or other mechanisms. Holding the token is the position: there is no order to place, no term to pick, and usually no lock to manage.
What it means for your yield
Unlike exchange savings products, custody and redemption run through smart contracts. The risks that matter are different in kind: depegs, liquidity droughts, and issuer credit, rather than fine-print traps. The yield is real but conditional — it depends on the underlying mechanism staying healthy.
Where it appears on Pennyworth
The Yield Stablecoins board lists a fixed, curated set of these tokens. Every detail page answers the same six questions: where the yield comes from, how it reaches you, how you exit, and when each of those can get worse.
