View ChartYala (YALA) is a Bitcoin-native liquidity protocol designed to let Bitcoin holders generate yield from decentralized finance and real-world assets. The protocol issues an over-collateralized, BTC-backed stablecoin called YU, which functions as both a yield-bearing asset and a liquidity tool that can move across ecosystems, chains, and protocols. YALA serves as the governance and utility token of this Bitcoin-centered credit and liquidity system. The protocol offers three interaction modes — Lite, Pro, and Institution — tailored to different user profiles and risk tolerances. More recently, Yala has repositioned itself around "Fair Value Intelligence for the Prediction Economy," introducing an AI agent that derives fair value probabilities from market and on-chain signals. Total supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000 YALA. CoinMarketCap lists a circulating supply of 307,720,000 YALA. The latest release is v2.0.0, available for download on yala.org.
The founding team includes Kaitai Chang (Co-Founder & COO, former Binance Labs), Bin Liu (Co-Founder, co-founder of Alchemy Pay), and Vicky Fu (Co-Founder & CTO, former Director of Engineering at Circle). The broader team includes contributors with backgrounds from MakerDAO, Lido, Microsoft, and Capital One. Sources differ on the founding date: one report states Yala was founded in January 2024, while another states 2023. In October 2024, Yala raised $8 million in a funding round, with Polychain referenced as a backer.
Yala enables BTC holders to earn yields and move liquidity across ecosystems, chains, and protocols through three distinct modes. Lite Mode is fully automated: BTC is tokenized and managed by smart contracts, with no liquidation risk thanks to centralized risk controls and strict LTV ratios, and an AI Yield Agent automates yield farming, reward claiming, and portfolio rebalancing while offering a fixed APR during the strategy period. No liquidation risk does not mean no principal risk: if the price of BTC or YU falls sharply, the value of the position can still decline substantially. Pro Mode gives power users manual control over strategies, supporting arbitrage, custom DeFi strategies, and multi-chain management across wallets and ecosystems. Institution Mode provides native BTC self-custody with no third-party custody or rehypothecation, fixed APY, zero liquidation risk, and integration with major custodians. No liquidation risk does not mean no principal risk: if the price of BTC or YU falls sharply, the value of the position can still decline substantially. The Yala Fair Value Agent ingests multi-source signals, unifies them into features, runs AI probability models, applies strategy and safety checks, and delivers end-to-end fair value predictions.
Yala's core distinction lies in connecting Bitcoin liquidity with a meta yield stablecoin, YU, which operates across ecosystems as both a potent asset and a liquidity enhancer. The protocol's over-collateralized BTC-backed stablecoin design addresses the challenge of augmenting Bitcoin liquidity in DeFi. Its three-tier mode structure serves retail users, power users, and institutions within a single framework, while the no-liquidation-risk design and self-custody options for institutions reduce key barriers to participation. The newer Fair Value Intelligence positioning adds a verifiable dimension: Yala's Fair Value Agent derives fair value probabilities from market and on-chain signals to help users trade more efficiently. The roadmap progresses from closed beta probability signals to a modular multi-agent architecture with MCP APIs and Telegram/X bot interfaces, and ultimately to a swarm architecture with full probability distributions, strategy vaults, and agent tokenization.
YALA is the governance and utility token of the Yala protocol. Holders participate in governance of the Bitcoin-centered credit and liquidity system. YALA is used in stabilisation auctions: in surplus auctions, keepers bid with YALA, which may be directed to the Reserve Pool to modulate circulating supply; in debt auctions, YALA can be drawn from the Reserve Pool to restore solvency. Beyond the token itself, the Yala ecosystem includes the YU stablecoin as a medium for a modular DeFi yield aggregator, the Yala AI Yield (YAY)-Agent for automated yield operations, the Fair Value Agent for probability-based market signals, and planned MCP APIs, Telegram and X bot interfaces, strategy vaults, and agent tokenization features.
Yala's development roadmap unfolds in three stages. Stage 1, the Early Stage, focuses on establishing fair value foundations through a closed beta of the first fair value agent, early probability signals released on X, and core calibration and baseline models. Stage 2, the Mid Stage, launches a public fair value AI agent with a modular multi-agent architecture, MCP APIs plus Telegram and X bot interfaces, and live trading validation with expanded factor signals including IV, liquidity, and Bayesian inputs. Stage 3, the Late Stage, targets a multi-agent fair value system with full probability distributions including confidence intervals and PDFs, a swarm architecture with supervisor and worker agents, and a dual fair value system with strategy vaults and agent tokenization. The latest release is v2.0.0, available for download on yala.org. Community channels include X, Telegram, Discord, GitHub, and LinkedIn.
YALA is a multi-chain token used for staking to Notary Bridge validators and for security via LayerZero-based Decentralised Verifier Networks. There is no traditional mining process for YALA. Instead, participation in the network and the protocol's yield system is the primary mechanism. BTC holders can engage through Lite Mode, where BTC is tokenized and managed by smart contracts with AI-driven yield optimization, or through Pro Mode for manual strategy management. Institution Mode offers native BTC self-custody with fixed APY. The protocol's AI Yield Agent automates yield farming, reward claiming, and portfolio rebalancing on behalf of Lite Mode users. Detailed public information on specific staking requirements and validator participation is currently limited.
Because YALA is issued as an ERC20/BEP20 token on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base, it can be held in wallets that support those standards. For self-custody, use a reputable wallet and safeguard your private keys or seed phrase offline, never sharing them with anyone. Verify contract addresses before interacting with any token, since abbreviated addresses displayed on data platforms can be mimicked by fraudulent contracts. Be cautious of unsolicited offers, airdrop claims, and links on social media. YU is Yala's over-collateralized BTC-backed asset; its market price has varied across data sources. CoinGecko notes that YALA tokens have stopped trading on the exchanges it lists, and Bybit notes a liquidity cliff due to contract delisting. This raises exit-liquidity risk. Consider using hardware wallets for larger holdings and remain aware that crypto assets carry significant market risk, including extreme volatility and potential loss of capital.
YALA has been listed on several exchanges, including Binance, Crypto.com, Kraken, Bybit, Coinbase, and MEXC. CoinGecko notes that YALA tokens have stopped trading on the exchanges it lists, so check current market status before trading. Availability varies by jurisdiction; check a platform's official listing before trading.
