Challenge description:
Yield optimisers are capital pools that automatically generate yield based on opportunities present in the market. The capital pools benefit users by socializing gas costs, automating the yield generation and rebalancing process, and automatically shifting capital as opportunities arise. End users also do not need to have proficient knowledge of the underlying protocols involved or DeFi, thus the capital pools represent a passive-investing strategy.
For this challenge, write a protocol or application that acts as a yield optimizer, interacting with one or more other DeFi protocols to maximize the potential earnings for the end-user. This solution should use smart contracts when possible, as most DeFi protocols are now composable.
Submission Requirements
A valid submission will include the source code via a Github repository linked to your Gitcoin submission, a recorded demo and an article that explains how the application works.
