Real yield protocols are gaining traction as a resilient sector in the crypto market, enabling users to navigate both bull and bear cycles effectively. Unlike narrative-driven projects that rely on token sales, real yield projects generate actual protocol revenue and return value to the community through mechanisms like fee buybacks and token burns.
