Backyard Finance

Backyard Finance is a yield manager built around its Yield Manager vault aggregator: instead of picking one yield source, users merge up to 20 single-asset vaults — spanning stablecoins, RWA, and tokenized stocks (e.g. USDC from Kamino, Jupiter USDG, USDC on OnRe) — into one diversified strategy, reducing dependence on any single vault's APR. Deposits can use any asset via Jupiter's swap engine, which converts and routes funds into the right vault tokens automatically, and users choose manual or automated rebalancing with a unified portfolio tracker across everything they hold. The resulting strategy LP tokens can optionally be used to mint Backyard Dollar (BYD), separating yield generation from liquidity so users keep earning while their capital stays reusable elsewhere — solving DeFi's classic problem of yield capital getting locked with exit friction. The protocol runs on a ve(3,3)-style governance economy, boosting APR for depositors and directing more liquidity to integrated protocols.
