Yield Skimming Strategy
Purpose: Serve as the hub page for learning and building Yield Skimming Strategies (YSS), which capture exchange-rate appreciation from value-accruing assets.
Audience: Engineers building or integrating YSS strategies into Octant v2; those wanting to capture appreciation from liquid staking tokens and similar assets.
Level: Intermediate
Source of truth:

Yield Skimming Strategies (YSS) are ERC-4626-style Octant strategies that accept a single ERC-20 asset and route appreciation to a configured on-chain address. They are designed for value-accruing assets such as liquid staking tokens or other instruments whose redeemable value changes over time.
Who this section is for
This section is for engineers who want to author strategies that capture exchange-rate appreciation rather than periodically harvesting reward tokens.
