# Yearn finance (YFI) clones and potential scams
Research done by the YFI GSOC team + Southseacompany ([Yearn discord](https://discord.com/invite/GcjxhWR)) and WrongNebula ([Twitter](https://twitter.com/WrongNebula)).
Please note that none of the projects listed is a part of, affiliated with, or endorsed by yearn.finance. Most, but not all, of them are scams; it's up to you, the user, to do your own research.
Please report any impersonators of Yearn team members to the Yearn official Discord (link on [yearn.finance](https://https://yearn.finance/) footer)
