Real Yield is a term in crypto used to describe a process known as “revenue sharing”. Protocols can design their systems to share a portion of real-time revenue with their investors that hold the native token.

Real Yield has become a popular buzzword in 2022 following the recent history of the inorganic, 1 million % APY platform. These platforms ran of self-inflating tokenomic schemes that diluted supply to the top holders at ungodly rates.

The revenue earned by platforms is not all identical and in many ways, this can help users. Pulling revenue from multiple different streams helps keep the “balance sheet” well balanced. Interest from loans, fees from swapping, fees from auto-compounding, and open interest from perpetual trading all are different variations of styles of revenue Real Yield tokens can pull from.

A Revenue Generating Tokens ETF (rgtETF) would be comprised of:

iMONEY, YAK, GMX, sJOE, sAVAX, QI in a balanced set of positions

Real Yield tokens on Avalanche are very diverse groups and can make for a nicely balanced portfolio. iMONEY accrues interest from the open loans on the Collateralized Debt Platform. YAK accrues a percentage of the rewards autocompounded on their platform. sJOE receives a percentage of total swap fees on the Trader Joe DEX and pays out in USDC. sAVAX earns yield from the underlying position as validator collateral. GMX earns a portion of position fees and platform fees from the GMX protocol.

QI is an exception for this fund. QI is utilized as the governance and validator rewards control for Benqi, while not currently revenue generating, it plays a key role in revenue generating processes and has significant upside in my view..
