Our featured pool this week is Maker USD Fee Sharing. This is one of the few pools that earned an A rating from us because their smart contracts are some of the most battle-tested and audited in DeFi. Yield is generated from stability fees charged to DAI borrowers and interest income earned on real-world assets like US treasuries. This pool is great for investors who want to earn yield on USD as a hedge against inflation.
