Sierra Protocol
AuditedRWANewSierra is an Avalanche-native Liquid Yield Token (LYT) issuer that mints SIERRA, a yield-bearing ERC-20 backed by a dynamically rebalanced portfolio of RWAs (Treasury MMFs, IG Commercial Paper, AAA CLOs) and blue-chip DeFi yield (Morpho, AAVE).

The Problem
DeFi yield products typically force users to choose between (a) RWA-only stablecoin yields (USDM, USDY) that miss DeFi opportunity, (b) basis-trading dollars (sUSDe) with funding-rate cyclicality, or (c) single-rate vaults (sDAI) tied to one issuer.
The Solution
Sierra issues SIERRA, a non-rebasing Liquid Yield Token backed by a dynamically rebalanced portfolio that algorithmically reallocates daily across investment-grade RWAs and blue-chip DeFi overcollateralized lending, with risk-adjusted yields computed via an 11-dimension framework and per-source allocation caps.
Why it Matters
First LYT to combine algorithmic daily rebalancing across both RWA and DeFi lanes, with non-discretionary allocation driven by a published Risk Framework; institutional-grade custody (Fireblocks) and asset management (FCA-regulated) inherited from OpenTrade's infrastructure; transparent on-chain reserve disclosure with monthly reports.
