# Distribute yield

> Build your own yield experience with Conduits — one integration for fees, compliance, branding, and access to every strategy on the network

A Conduit is how you build a unique earn experience for your users. They deposit, earn, and withdraw — without tracking async settlement states, managing cooldown periods, or dealing with protocol-specific flows. Keepers handle all of that behind the scenes, so deposits and withdrawals just work. One API gives you real-time positions, performance, and fee reporting across everything your Conduit connects to.

Behind a single Conduit, you can connect to an allocation strategy that composes multiple yield sources, an advanced strategy running its own execution logic, or a single yield source directly. Compose these building blocks into something no one else offers — that's the experience your users see, not the protocols underneath. You set the fees, compliance rules, and branding. Want different pricing for different customer segments? Deploy a Conduit for your standard plan and another for your premium tier with lower fees and exclusive access — both backed by the same strategy, same liquidity.

## Who builds with Conduits

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Platforms" icon="grid-2">
    Exchanges, neobanks, wallets, and fintechs use Conduits to add yield to their product. Deploy a Conduit with your own fee structure, KYC rules, and branded receipt token — your users see an "Earn" button, not a DeFi protocol. One integration gives you access to every strategy on the network.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Asset managers" icon="chess-board">
    An AM with a sales team uses Conduits as distribution channels. Deploy one strategy, then create a Conduit for each platform or client segment — each with its own fees, compliance rules, and access control. Scale distribution without redeploying the same strategy.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Custodians" icon="vault">
    Offer multiple risk profiles — conservative, balanced, aggressive — each pointing at a different strategy. One Conduit per product, each with its own receipt token, compliance rules, and fee structure. One integration, multiple offerings.
  </Card>

## What you configure

| Control                  | What it means                                                                                                 |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Fee structure**        | Management, performance, deposit, and redeem fees — all configurable with immutable caps                      |
| **Revenue distribution** | Split collected fees among any combination of recipients — your platform treasury, partners, a DAO, or others |
| **Compliance**           | Allowlists, blocklists, and sanctions oracle integration via AccountList                                      |
| **Transfer policy**      | Permissionless transfers, restricted to approved accounts, or mint-and-burn only                              |
| **Receipt token**        | Your Conduit issues its own ERC20 receipt token with a custom name and symbol                                 |

## Two paths to a Conduit

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Use an existing strategy" icon="chess-knight" href="/conduits/use-a-strategy">
    Point your Conduit at a managed strategy that allocates across multiple yield sources. You get diversification without operating the strategy yourself.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Mandate a bespoke strategy" icon="handshake" href="/conduits/mandate-a-strategy">
    Deploy a strategy you own, set the guardrails (authorized sources, fee caps, risk limits), and delegate day-to-day management to an asset manager.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## What you get

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Unified interface" icon="plug">
    One integration covers all current and future yield sources — Aave, Compound, Morpho, Ethena, and more. The Conduit abstracts away protocol-specific complexity.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Custom fees and attribution" icon="percent">
    Each Conduit has its own fee structure (management, performance, deposit, redeem). Revenue is attributed per-Conduit, enabling custom rev-share arrangements.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Institutional controls" icon="shield-halved">
    AccountList-based access control with allowlists, blocklists, and sanctions oracle integration. Transfer policies govern receipt token transferability.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Automated operations" icon="robot">
    Keepers automatically settle async operations. Users never need to return to manually claim after cooldown periods — deposits and withdrawals just work.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Full transparency" icon="chart-line">
    Real-time portfolio data through GraphQL — positions, performance, fee accrual, and transaction history.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Branded receipt token" icon="coins">
    Your Conduit issues its own ERC20 receipt token with a custom name and symbol. Users hold your token, not the underlying strategy's.
  </Card>
