## About

Based in Taiwan and founded in 2024, Yei Finance operates as a decentralized finance offering token onboarding and a comprehensive asset risk framework to enhance investment opportunities and capital efficiency. In December 2024, Yei Finance raised USD 2 million in seed funding led by Manifold Trading, with the participation from DWF Ventures, DWF Labs, Kronos Research, Outlier Ventures, Side Door Ventures, and WOO.

Yei Finance offers a suite of financial services designed to optimize investment strategies through its innovative platform. Central to its product lineup is a comprehensive asset risk framework that facilitates the onboarding of a diverse array of tokens, allowing users to access a wide spectrum of investment opportunities. Key features include E-mode, which enhances capital efficiency by permitting higher leverage for borrowing price-correlated assets like stablecoins, and a flash loan mechanism that enables users to borrow available assets without collateral for single blockchain transactions. Additionally, leveraged staking allows users to amplify their exposure to yield-bearing assets, such as iSEI, by borrowing additional SEI tokens. 

Yei Finance plans to launch V2, an advanced version of its platform, which aims to create an omnichain money market addressing inefficiencies in the current DeFi ecosystem. The recent Seed funding of USD 2.000 mn will be utilized to support this initiative. The company is also exploring opportunities to expand its services into new markets, with specific plans to target regions in Southeast Asia by mid-2025.
