Why RateX
RateX is Solana’s go-to protocol for margin-based yield trading and fixed-rate yield tokenization. Operating across multiple chains, RateX provides traders and liquidity providers with efficient access to yield-bearing assets (YBAs), with flexible strategies designed for both alpha and stability.
At its core, RateX lets users:
- Trade Yield Tokens (YT) on margin: Amplify exposure to APY movements
- Earn Fixed Yield: Lock in predictable, fixed returns by selling future yield
- Yield Liquidity Mining: Provide YBA liquidity to earn fees, rewards, and embedded yield
And now, all of this is available on Solana, accessible with your $YU.
How It Works in the Yala DeFi Marketplace
Yala’s DeFi Marketplace is your command center for yield opportunities across top DeFi protocols. RateX joins our existing lineup of Kamino, Raydium, and Pendle to unlock even more composable strategies for $YU.
With the new RateX integration, you can deploy your $YU into advanced yield strategies directly from the Yala dashboard. No bridges, no switching apps.
1. Provide Liquidity for Yield Trading
→ Supply $YU LP to fuel RateX’s yield trading markets and earn trading fees, embedded yield, and LP incentives.
All actions are gas-efficient, seamless, and fully composable with your $YU holdings.
2. Buying Discount Tokens (PT)
→ PT-YU enables users to earn a fixed $YU yield by holding the newly acquired PT until the stated maturity date.
3. Buying Yield Tokens (YT)
→ Gain directional exposure to future $YU yield. Go long to benefit from rising rates, or short to hedge against yield drops.
Providing $YU liquidity on Solana and buying Yield Tokens also earns you Berries with a 6x multiplier, Yala’s native reward system that amplifies your yield farming participation, plus 5x RateX points, additional incentives within the RateX ecosystem.
Broadening DeFi Access for Bitcoin
The addition of RateX strengthens our commitment to giving Bitcoin holders access to the most powerful yield tools in DeFi.
By minting $YU, users gain a flexible, cross-chain asset that’s composable across ecosystems like Solana and Ethereum. With integrated access to RateX, Kamino, Raydium, and Pendle, $YU becomes a passport to the most capital-efficient opportunities in the market.
More control. More leverage. More yield, all without ever selling your BTC.

Join the Yala Community
Yala is a native Bitcoin liquidity protocol that channels BTC into yield opportunities across DeFi and RWAs.
Bitcoin holders unlock capital through self-custodial, liquidation-free borrowing by minting $YU, a BTC-backed liquidity asset. In this process, they pay a stability fee directly to $YU depositors, effectively exchanging BTC-backed exposure for portable, capital-efficient liquidity and access to yield without giving up ownership.
Yala’s SmartVault module manages system risk and ensures efficient yield distribution.
