yv-prefixed ERC-4626 share that accrues value automatically.
Availability
Yearn V3 vaults are live on Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and Katana. A small set of Yearn Strategies vaults (currently Aave V3 and Spark USDT lenders on Ethereum) uses the same share model under a separate metadata source. QueryGET /v1/yields?providers=yearn for the vaults enabled for your project; per-network coverage varies by vault.
Entering and exiting
Entering approves the input token (if needed) and deposits it; the vault issues yv-prefixed shares immediately. On networks where a vault’s input token is the network’s wrapped native asset (for example a WETH vault), yield.xyz also accepts the native coin and wraps it before depositing, the same pattern used by other ERC-4626 integrations. Exiting redeems shares for the underlying asset plus accrued yield in a single instant transaction; request an exit withamount, shareAmount/shareAmountRaw, or useMaxAmount for a full exit. The redeemed amount is capped to your maxRedeem or maxWithdraw balance within a small rounding margin.
Rewards and position
Yield accrues automatically into the yv-share’s price against the deposit asset; there is no manual claim step, and no Yearn vault exposes aCLAIM_REWARDS pending action.
