Yield Farming
Yield farming involves placing cryptoassets into decentralised finance protocols to earn interest, trading fees, or reward tokens. The assets may be supplied to a lending market, added to a liquidity pool, or moved between protocols offering different returns.
A user may deposit $1,000 of each of two tokens into a liquidity pool and receive a share of the trading fees. The position’s value will still change as the two token prices move.
The final result depends on several moving parts: fees earned, token rewards, price changes, smart-contract security, and possible impermanent loss. Two farms showing the same annual percentage yield can therefore produce very different outcomes.
Yield Guild Games
Yield Guild Games, usually shortened to YGG, is a Web3 gaming community that became known for organising players and digital assets across blockchain-based games.
Its early guild model allowed players to use game-related NFTs they did not own and share part of the rewards earned through play. A guild might provide the digital characters required to enter a game, while the player contributed time and skill.
The project has since moved further into publishing casual crypto games and connecting studios with gaming communities. That shift reflects a wider change in Web3 gaming, away from a narrow play-to-earn model and toward games, creators, distribution, and community.

YOY
YOY, short for year over year, compares a result with the same period one year earlier. It is commonly used for revenue, profit, inflation, employment, and trading volume because it reduces the distortion created by seasonal changes.
A retailer may report fourth-quarter revenue of $108 million, up from $100 million in the same quarter last year. That is 8% YOY growth. Comparing the figure with the third quarter could produce a very different result simply because holiday demand changes the pattern.
YOY gives a clean annual comparison. Analysts often place it beside monthly or quarterly figures to see both the longer trend and the more recent movement.
Yuan
The yuan is the main unit of China’s official currency, the renminbi. The names are often used as if they mean exactly the same thing, but the distinction is similar to sterling and the pound: renminbi is the currency, while yuan is the amount being counted.
CNY usually refers to yuan traded in mainland China, while CNH is used for offshore trading. Their rates can differ because the two markets operate under different controls and liquidity conditions.
If USD/CNY rises from 7.10 to 7.20, one dollar now buys more yuan. The yuan has weakened against the dollar. Currency pairs often become clearer once the base currency is identified first.
