## What is Cove?

Cove pairs off-chain intelligence with on-chain automation to deliver curated
1-click DeFi vaults that earn higher, safer yield.

Our first product coveUSD sets the benchmark for reliable, diversified blue chip
USD yield on Ethereum.

<Info>
  Cove is optimized by [Gauntlet](https://www.gauntlet.xyz/) and audited by
  [Trail of Bits](https://trailofbits.com/), [Pashov Audit
  Group](https://www.pashov.net/), [Zellic](https://www.zellic.io/),
  [Quantstamp](https://quantstamp.com/), and [yAudit](https://yaudit.dev/).
</Info>

## The Cove Ecosystem

The Cove ecosystem is a comprehensive suite of products designed to make onchain
earning simple, safe, and powerful. It's built on the **Cove Protocol**, which
uses off-chain intelligence and on-chain automation to deliver higher, safer
yield.

### coveUSD

coveUSD is Cove's flagship vault, delivering institutional-grade USD yield
through automated capital allocation.

* It automatically reallocates across top-tier strategies to maximize
  risk-adjusted returns.
* It aims to establish the benchmark rate for safe, blue-chip USD yield on
  Ethereum.

### Boosties

Boosties is the dedicated liquid locker and staking platform for Yearn, built
with Yearn V3.

* Maximize your [dYFI](https://docs.yearn.fi/getting-started/products/veyfi#dyfi)
  rewards from Yearn vaults without managing your own veYFI position.
* Includes [coveYFI](/ecosystem/boosties/coveyfi) for liquid YFI locking and the
  [dYFI Redeemer](/ecosystem/boosties/dyfi-redeemer) for gas-less reward
  redemption.

### Cove Protocol

The underlying protocol that powers the ecosystem. It provides:

* A simplified way to earn onchain that abstracts away the complexity of DeFi.
* Access to sophisticated strategies managed by experts like Gauntlet.
* Elimination of [loss-versus-rebalancing
  (LVR)](https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/lvr-quantifying-the-cost-of-providing-liquidity-to-automated-market-makers/)
  through [Programmatic
  Orders](https://docs.cow.fi/cow-protocol/concepts/order-types/programmatic-orders)
  for better returns.

### \$COVE

[\$COVE](/ecosystem/token) is the protocol's governance token. It is currently used
for onchain governance, giving the community control over the protocol's future.
It is currently non-transferable.

## Roadmap

We are continuously building to make DeFi as accessible as running water. Here's what's next:

* **AI-enabled strategies** powered by [Ritual](https://ritual.net/) x ████████.
* Full tokenomics and onchain governance.
* Cross-chain expansion and abstraction.
