# CIAN

> Yield layer of DeFi

CIAN helps users maximize DeFi returns by aggregating yield sources from staking, restaking, real-world assets, and funding rates.

CIAN consolidates yield sources from liquid staking, restaking, real-world assets, and funding rates, then redistributes them across deposited assets for optimized returns. Users can deposit tokens to earn yield automatically, run leverage strategies, or access structured products for varied risk profiles. The protocol operates without KYC requirements across multiple blockchain networks.
