Strategies / Vaults

Imagine a product that allows a user to build a vault strategy via a drag and drop UI. Furucombo is to flashloans as this product would be to vaults. For example, a user could create a yUSD vault strategy, but instead of selling CRV for more yCRV, they could sell CRV for yETH. The vault would return the original yCRV deposit and the accrued yETH. A technical benefit of this might be that it could modularize the existing vault strategies and increase test coverage. I understand this is probably a large project in scope, but I just wanted to put this idea out there for a potential place on the roadmap. I think it could give yearn a huge competitive advantage over other yield farms given the team's expertise and experience writing vault strategies.

yETH was announced to enable deposits again last week. Still no idea about a new strategy for yYFI. It's understandable that things get delayed, but at least say so.

I've been posting strategies to the governance forums, though there hasn't been much dev interaction with them. Like me, I'm sure a lot of folks are curious how they can best help the core team and the ecosystem at large.

Status report please. Marines are pissed at the low %, compared to what was shown when the vault opened.

Vaults are about finding the sweet spot between high APY and safety of the funds. Though, what is "safe" is not defined clearly. Knowing this would allow the community to only suggest and discuss strategies that can be implemented.

Some fees are collected to "pay" the strategy provider. Though, advanced strategies will always emerge from discussions across several contributors, as people who actually code the strategy. As of today, only the dev who provides the strategy code gets rewarded for it. This will reduce the engagement of non developer who could suggest strategy improvements. We need to define financial incentives to involve non coders in the strategy discussions. One idea could be to share the rewards.
