Where RIZE yields come from

RIZE's industry-leading APYs are primarily paid in the native tokens of our partner blockchains. For our initial go-to-market, we are working with chains that have raised over $300m from top-tier investors including a16z and Jump Crypto. At the time of writing, their tokens are valued in excess of $10b and have organic utility, making them less volatile than those of most DeFi applications.

A smaller percentage of yield is secured through overcollateralized on-chain lending and stablecoin pools on spot decentralized exchanges. RIZE does not borrow against user positions, or use any leverage. If leverage is used in future strategies, we will communicate this clearly and in advance to users before they deposit.

RIZE early access leverages blockchains utilizing the Move programming language which comes with built-in security benefits compared to other chains. Here, tokens are treated as unique resources that cannot be copied or accidentally destroyed, preventing some common vulnerabilities in DeFi applications such as double spending and unintended destruction of tokens.
