## Products

- [Carrot Vault](https://thegrid.id/profiles/deficarrot): Carrot Vault reallocates stablecoins across Solana lending protocols to maximize yield. It ensures liquidity, reduces risk, and simplifies stablecoin management. (Yield Aggregator, Inactive/Support Ended, Main Product)
- [Turbo Tokens](https://thegrid.id/profiles/deficarrot): Turbo Tokens are leveraged crypto tokens that provide amplified exposure to assets like SOL, BTC, and WET without the risk of liquidation. Positioned as the middle ground between spot trading and perpetual futures, Turbo offers dynamic leverage (typically 2-3x) with automated risk management, allowing users to "go long with confidence" without constantly monitoring positions. (Derivatives , Inactive/Support Ended)

## Assets

- [Carrot (CRT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/deficarrot): CRT is a yield-bearing token representing stablecoin deposits in the Carrot vault on Solana. It is received when depositing USDC, USDT, or PYUSD into Carrot, and yield is automatically accrued and reflected in the token's value, which can be redeemed for the initial stablecoins plus accrued yield. The yield is earned through automated optimization algorithms that smart-route stablecoin lending across Solana's top lending platforms including Save, Kamino, MarginFi, Juplend, and Drift. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
