YieldProof

Trustless Yield Verification for Real World Assets

YieldProof is the first protocol enabling Real World Asset (RWA) issuers to prove yield generation on-chain through cryptographic verification and economic consensus.

• 100% Transparent: All yield disclosures are cryptographically verified
• Zero Trust Required: Economic incentives replace trust assumptions
• Automated Enforcement: Smart contracts enforce accurate distribution

🚨 The Problem

Current RWA and institutional yield verification relies on outdated trust models:

• Opaque Reporting: Yield disclosures are self-reported without verification
• Trust Dependencies: Investors must trust institutions for accurate reporting
• No Accountability: Misreporting has no immediate on-chain consequences
• Manual Processes: Distribution relies on PDFs, emails, and manual verification

Result: Capital is on-chain, but yield verification remains off-chain and trust-based.

✅ The Solution: YieldProof Protocol

YieldProof introduces cryptographic proof-based yield disclosure:

Core Components

1. 🏛️ Issuer Portal: RWA issuers submit yield disclosures with cryptographic proof
2. 🛡️ Attestor Network: Independent validators stake capital to verify disclosures
3. 📊 Investor Dashboard: Transparent view of verified yields and automated distributions
4. ⚖️ Economic Consensus: Fraud detection through economic incentives and slashing

Key Features

• Zero Fund Access: Disclosers never touch or manage investor principal
• Cryptographic Proof: Every disclosure requires verifiable proof of earnings
• Reputation System: Verified disclosures boost on-chain accuracy tiers
• Automated Distribution: Smart contracts enforce accurate yield distribution
