I think it's not legit, because yearn.finance is already rocking and I think they don't need much giveaways to gather more investors.. Welcome, I just read somewhere in comments section why Yearn.Finance is not considered as most dominant in cryptocurrency instead of Bitcoin that is why I was curious and did a little research 😂

Yes because its a DeFi project that runs under Ethereum blockchain so it does not have its own chain.. so it cannot be recognized as a coin, I think.

It is a DeFi project, that was under Ethereum blockchain so I think it is just a token not an altcoin since Ethereum is the altcoin..
