With this integration, Exponent users can deploy dfdvSOL across three key yield strategies, each tailored to different risk and return preferences:
- Income Vaults – Users can exchange variable yields on dfdvSOL for fixed yield tokens, earning predictable returns at maturity.
- Farm Vaults – Users can gain leveraged exposure to variable yields by purchasing Yield Tokens backed by dfdvSOL at an Implied APY.
- Liquidity Vaults – Users can supply dfdvSOL to Exponent’s Liquidity Vaults, earning extra yield by providing liquidity to yield markets.
“Our integration with Exponent unlocks yet another use case for dfdvSOL and reinforces our north star, driving growth in SOL per share (SPS) for our shareholders,” said Parker White, COO & CIO of DeFi Dev Corp. “Exponent’s yield strategies offer a robust way for users to earn while holding dfdvSOL, enhancing both its demand and the value proposition of our treasury strategy.”
The partnership aligns with DeFi Dev Corp.’s newest initiative centered around enhancing the value proposition of the dfdvSOL LST on Solana and uniquely positioning dfdvSOL within the broader Solana DeFi landscape. dfdvSOL directly ties back to the Company’s validator operations and staking rewards, providing a secure foundation for Exponent users to participate in sophisticated yield strategies.
Disclaimer:DeFi Dev Corp. receives a commission on the SOL rewards generated from its validator operations and a portion of the fee imposed via the Sanctum protocol based on staking operations by dfdvSOL users. DeFi Dev Corp. is not responsible for the development, security, or operation of Sanctum’s technology or infrastructure, and is not acting on behalf of Sanctum. Users should independently evaluate the risks associated with LSTs and related technologies.
