# Yield DTFs

**Yield DTFs package diverse baskets of yield‑bearing assets into single ERC‑20 tokens.**

All Yield DTFs are fully backed by diversified collateral and can be protected against default by [Reserve Rights (RSR) staking](https://docs.reserve.org/rsr-reserve-rights#staking). Stakers earn a portion of DTF yield in exchange for governance and security.

## Key features

Yield DTFs are fully onchain financial primitives that deliver yield, security, and accessibility—no intermediaries required.

* Full 1:1 backing & emergency overcollateralisation
* Permissionless onchain minting, redemption, & deployment
* Autonomous revenue auctions executed by dedicated contracts
* Customizable onchain decentralized governance
