Hack with YO: Designing Smart DeFi Savings

YO SDK Hackathon Build the Smartest DeFi Savings Account with YO We’re inviting developers to build the best consumer savings experience powered by the YO SDK. YO is proven infrastructure for risk-adjusted, onchain yield. The engine already works. Now we’re looking for the best UX and distribution layer to turn it into a category-defining savings product that real users trust and use every day. --- Theme Build the smartest savings account in DeFi using YO. Examples: - A consumer savings app - An AI-powered yield agent - A portfolio dashboard - A mobile-first savings UX - A treasury interface Requirement: Integrate YO vaults via YO SDK. --- Technical Requirements Projects must: - Use @yo-protocol/core or @yo-protocol/react - Execute real deposit and/or redeem flows - Interact with live YO vaults on Base, Ethereum, or Arbitrum - Demonstrate working onchain transactions Mockups alone will not qualify. --- Submission Requirements - GitHub repository - 3-minute demo video - Clear explanation of how the YO SDK was used --- Judging Criteria UX Simplicity — 30% Is this the best savings account experience in DeFi? Is it intuitive, clean, and frictionless? Creativity & Growth Potential — 30% Would real users adopt this? Does it introduce thoughtful innovation? Is the user segment well defined, and does the product meaningfully solve their savings need? Quality of Integration — 20% Is the YO SDK properly implemented? Are deposit/redeem flows live and correct? Risk & Trust — 20% Is it safe and transparent?

Eligibility & Disqualification Submissions must meaningfully integrate the YO SDK and execute real onchain deposit and/or redeem flows. YO reserves the right to disqualify entries that use mock transactions, misrepresent functionality, violate rules, or fail to meet the stated requirements. All judging decisions are final. --- We’re looking for polished UX, real transaction flows, and production-ready thinking. If this shipped tomorrow, would someone trust it with their savings?
