yUSD refers to the yVault for automating yield-earning with one’s Curve Y Pool LP. We’ve covered previously how one might deposit stablecoins into the Curve Y Pool, and then go to yearn.finance/vaults to deposit the LP token to further compound earnings. However, in the last month, Zapper released Zaps for transforming stablecoins or ETH into the Y Curve yVault, which is how we arrive today with the most cost effective way yet to gain yUSD exposure! Zapper just released a new DEX aggregator, which allows you to source trades from Uniswap and Balancer.
DeFi Dad shows us a hack to save about 75% on fees getting into yUSD (the yVault for the Y Curve LP token) vs paying huge fees to Curve and yearn.finance to enter this opportunity.
DeFi Dad walks us through the following:
