Yield Yak YAK

What YAK actually is on-chain

Yield Yak is an ERC-20 on the C-Chain deployed on Avalanche, at contract address 0x59414b3089ce2af0010e7523dea7e2b35d776ec7. That address, not the ticker YAK, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself YAK, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against snowtrace.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Avalanche, YAK is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in AVAX rather than in YAK itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Trader Joe pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need AVAX in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

Another asset tracked on this site also uses the ticker YAK: YAK (Ethereum, 0xe842…32af). The asset on this page is specifically the Avalanche deployment at 0x5941…6ec7. These are unrelated tokens with separate contracts, separate supply and separate price histories — a price alert set on one of them says nothing about the others, and a ticker search is not enough to tell them apart.

For YAK the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @yieldyak_. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where YAK sits in the market

Yield Yak ranks #3753, in the upper long tail, past the point where most data providers stop publishing supply figures, far outside the set of assets that carry continuous market-maker coverage. At this end of the table the first question is data integrity rather than valuation: a quote can originate from a single pool or a single venue, reported volume is difficult to verify independently, and the distance between the last print and a genuinely executable price can be wide. Treat any indicator computed on this series as provisional.

We are not currently receiving a live YAK order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted. YAK is a Avalanche asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Trader Joe pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs AVAX in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

YAK against its all-time high

Yield Yak's record high is $16,319, set on 2021-09-23. A high in this range means YAK carries a meaningful unit price, so round-number levels near the peak tend to be watched as references in their own right. It was set 5 years ago. A peak that old describes a supply structure and a holder base that have almost certainly turned over since. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live YAK price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

YAK across its historical range

YAK has traded across a 331x range, between $49.31 and $16,319. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

The record low of $49.31 was printed on 2026-05-06 — within the last six months. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

YAK supply and valuation data

Supply figures for YAK are self-reported at this rank rather than reconciled against the chain, so we publish the valuation we have and not a circulating-supply number we cannot check. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $533 thousand as of 2026-05-12. That sits around the middle of the distribution — roughly half the assets tracked here carry a smaller fully diluted value.

Because that valuation is a snapshot rather than a live figure, we deliberately do not back out a supply number from it — the price has moved since, and the division would produce a confident-looking token count that is simply wrong. Check the project's own explorer for the current supply before using any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one snowtrace.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset YAK is

Yield Yak is a decentralised exchange token. The economics are unusually legible for crypto: the protocol generates fees from trading volume, and the token's value proposition rests on whether it captures any of them. Volume on the underlying venue, the fee switch status and competitive pressure from other venues are the variables that actually matter — and DEX volume is itself highly cyclical, so revenue is not a stable base.

CoinGecko files YAK under 9 categories, including Decentralized Exchange (DEX), Exchange-based Tokens, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Yield Farming, Yield Aggregator. CoinGecko also records deployments on Avalanche (256 tracked tokens), Arbitrum (391 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading.
