YFI is one of the most fairly distributed DeFi tokens on Ethereum: data

A big issue in the cryptocurrency community is the centralization of coins.

Bitcoin is a good example of the potential for great inequality in cryptocurrency: although we can believe that Satoshi Nakamoto has good intentions, he technically owns an approximated 5.5 percent of all wealth in BTC. The same can be said for many other crypto assets, especially those distributed by initial coin offerings or those sold to entities with deep pockets.

YFI is the most decentralized Ethereum DeFi project ever: Spencer Noon.

These four factors working in tandem allowed YFI to succeed early on in its lifespan while its copycats suffered from numerous problems, the investor explained.
