Yearn Finance proves that in DeFi, code is the ultimate fund manager.
It simplified the "Yield Farming" craze into a sophisticated, sustainable tool for long-term holders.
Next is "Z".
The end of the alphabet.
What protocol represents the final piece of the puzzle?

Those sky-high APRs you see on screen? Someone bought the power to make it happen.
✅ Turn lock time into voting power
✅ Use votes to redirect the reward faucet
✅ APR spikes → liquidity floods in
