# Introduction
SHRED is a high-yield savings protocol, designed to provide simple returns on stablecoins. \
At its core, SHRED transforms complex delta-neutral arbitrage strategies into a one-click savings experience for users on Ethereum and HyperEVM. By depositing USDC (and eventually USDT), depositors gain access to up to 15% APY. It powered by real yield from staking on Ethereum and perpetual futures DEX funding rates on Hyperliquid.
The importance of SHRED lies in its ability to democratize one of the most effective yield strategies in finance. In traditional savings accounts, capital underperforms the inflation (\~3%) and debasement rate (\~8%). In DeFi, most yield opportunities are either variable, unsustainable, or dependent on inflationary token emissions. SHRED fills this gap with a professional-grade, transparent savings protocol for the internet of money.
Our vision is to become the stablecoin savings layer for the crypto the industry. Over time, we intend have vaults integrated on all the major DeFi protocols and FinTech platforms. As well as, for shUSD, our future yield-bearing receipt token, to become a core piece of DeFi collateral. Ultimately, when users want stable and predictable, high-yield savings, they come to SHRED.
