## **Overview**

As part of the scheduled quarterly review of the **DeFi Growth Index (DGI)**, we present the proposed constituent adjustments for the Q1 2026 rebalance. This review ensures that DGI continues to track innovative, early-stage DeFi projects with sustainable growth potential, in line with the index’s stated objective and inclusion criteria.

Based on the quarterly review, we propose:

1. **Removal of Euler (EUL)** due to stagnation in market share and intense competition from next-gen lending protocols.

2. **Removal of Clearpool (CPOOL)** due to the underwhelming performance of the Ozean launch and aggressive moves by competitors in the institutional credit space.

3. **Addition of YieldBasis (YB)**, a novel BTC liquidity protocol that eliminates impermanent loss and demonstrates deep synergy with the Curve ecosystem.

## **Addition: YieldBasis (YB)**

- **About YieldBasis:**  
YieldBasis is a liquidity protocol built on Curve infrastructure that introduces a **“Zero-Impermanent Loss”** automated market maker (AMM) for Bitcoin. It utilizes 2x leverage via crvUSD borrowing and automated rebalancing to allow LPs to track BTC price 1:1 while earning organic yields, effectively solving one of the largest pain points in BTC DeFi.
