Yearn Finance, realizing this as an issue for most users, created the yveCRV vault. This vault would allow Yearn to lock CRV tokens on behalf of the user indefinitely, giving the user a wrapped version of their CRV (yveCRV), which necessitated the creation of secondary liquidity markets, so users could trade these tokens freely. With the innovations from Yearn garnering billions of dollars in total value locked (TVL) and a large voting share in the Curve DAO, it was only a matter of time for competitors to start popping up.
