Yield Yak

Users deposited funds into vaults that auto-compounded rewards, and YAK stakers received staking rewards until they ended.

Yield Yak was a yield aggregator on Avalanche that auto-compounded rewards through vaults. Its website announced a wind-down in which staking rewards ended, YAK could be redeemed for WAVAX in two claim rounds, and vault yield stops on December 1.

Yield Yak was built by the Yield Yak team and had the YAK token, which its site says has no utility after the first redemption round.
