# Deployment guide

Anyone can create a Yield DTF — permissionless & production‑ready in under 10 minutes.

This guide walks deployers through the launch process: strategic design, parameter configuration, deployment, and post‑launch best practices.

## Overview

The Reserve Yield Protocol provides a system of [factory smart contracts](https://research.csiro.au/blockchainpatterns/general-patterns/contract-structural-patterns/factory-contract/) that allows anyone to deploy their own Yield DTF instance onchain.

Creating a Yield DTF can be done either by interacting directly with the [Reserve Yield Protocol’s smart contracts](https://github.com/reserve-protocol/protocol) or any user interface built on top of them. The Reserve app provides a convenient [interface to the Yield DTF factory](https://app.reserve.org/deploy/yield-dtf), but any front‑end can access the same permissionless contracts.
