A multi-chain yield vault protocol holding $35m across four chains, with published audits and simplified access to multi-protocol strategies.
Our assessment
yo Protocol holds $35m across four chains with two audits and reports linked, packaging multi-protocol yield strategies into single-deposit vaults.
Simplicity is the product and the risk
A vault that turns a five-step strategy into one deposit is genuinely useful — most people will not execute five steps correctly and consistently. It also means the depositor no longer sees the five steps, and therefore does not see the five things that can fail. Simplification removes the work and the visibility together.
Read the strategy, not the yield
The number displayed is a result; the strategy is the risk. A vault earning from lending on established protocols and one earning from farming emissions on a new chain can show the same figure and have nothing else in common. Aggregator vaults should always be evaluated at the strategy level.
Evidence position
Two audits with linked reports is a good profile for a protocol of this size. Counterparty risk carries 40% of the score here, and the audits cover yo's contracts rather than the protocols its strategies deploy into.
Who it suits
yo Protocol fits users who want packaged multi-chain yield and will read the underlying strategy before depositing. Users wanting the widest chain coverage should compare Beefy.

Frequently asked
Does this score mean YO Protocol is safe?
No. It measures what an outsider can verify: linked audits, published methodology and independently recorded market data. Contract risk is not tested by us.
Where do the TVL and audit figures come from?
A public analytics dataset queried at the verification date, plus the audit reports it links. Both are re-runnable by anyone.
Why do some protocols score zero on audits?
Because no audit report is linked in the public record. The indicator records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit exists.
