About Yearn
Yearn Finance is a suite of products in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) that provides lending aggregation, yield generation, and insurance on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is maintained by various independent developers and is governed by YFI holders. The first Yearn product was a lending aggregator. Funds are shifted between dYdX, AAVE, and Compound automatically as interest rates change between these protocols. Users can deposit to these lending aggregator smart contracts via the Earn page. This product completely optimizes the interest accrual process for end-users to ensure they are obtaining the highest interest rates at all times among the platforms specified above. Capital pools that automatically generate yield based on opportunities present in the market. Vaults benefit users by socializing gas costs, automating the yield generation and rebalancing process, and automatically shifting capital as opportunities arise.

Aave
Aave is an open source and non-custodial liquidity protocol for earning interest on deposits and borrowing assets. Aave is a decentralized non-custodial money market protocol where users can participate as depositors or borrowers. Depositors provide liquidity to the market to earn a passive income, while borrowers are able to borrow in an overcollateralized (perpetually) or undercollateralized (one-block liquidity) fashion. At Aave, security is our top priority and we are constantly auditing and improving our protocol. The funds are stored in a non-custodial smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. You control your wallet. Regulated and auditable by code. To ensure top notch security, Aave Protocol has had audits by trail of bits, open zeppelin, consensys diligence, certik, peckshield and certora. All audits are publicly available.

Cream
CREAM Finance is a DeFi ecosystem focused on providing lending, exchange, payment, and asset tokenization services. CREAM also operates a permissionless and open-source protocol so any other internet participant can be a part of the development of the network, instead of just using it or locking up funds in smart contracts for staking rewards. Financial inclusion is among CREAM'S primary goals. And the objective is to be able to achieve it without compromising the safety and security of each user and their assets. CREAM is established on the Ethereum blockchain, it can take advantage of smart contracts that can be used to run Ethereum Virtual Machines (EVM). Such a set-up also allows the CREAM project to have better composability than other DeFi projects. EVMs can also help community users develop their own decentralized applications (Dapps) on top of the network. However, there is very little detail on the community’s plans for such at the moment

Harvest Finance
Harvest is an international cooperative of humble farmers pooling resources together in order to earn DeFi yields. When farmers deposit, Harvest automatically farms the highest yields with these deposits using the latest farming techniques. Farming was highly manual and inconvenient for people that had a normal job and didn’t want to keep up with DeFi 24/7. We automate farming by doing regular harvesting of crops on over 100 different farms. Farm is a cashflow token for Harvest. When Harvest generates yields, 70% of these yields are used to increase the value of the deposits. Farm rewards are economic incentives provided by Harvest Finance. Farm token reward doesn't auto compound and need to be claimed if you want to deposit in the profit sharing or sell it.
