About Idle Finance

Idle Finance is a decentralized yield optimization protocol that automatically allocates user funds across the best-yielding DeFi lending protocols on Ethereum. Users deposit stablecoins or ETH into Idle vaults, which continuously rebalance allocations between protocols like Compound, Aave, Maker, and others to capture the highest available yield. Idle offers two risk profiles: Best Yield (maximizes returns) and Risk-Adjusted (weighs risk vs. return). IDLE is the governance token used for protocol governance and fee distribution to stakeholders.
