Non-fungible tokens are now being used by yield farmers looking for new ways to leverage digital assets through available DeFi and exchange protocols.

Yield farming is nothing more than putting cryptocurrency assets into use by earning a return on the capital invested. There are numerous money markets. Such as Compound, Curve, and Aave, and these provide the most straight forward road to earning a yield.

The term is widely used within the DeFi ecosystem but now the first mentions are occurring within the non-fungible token sector as collectibles meet DeFi.
