# Framework

## What is the OToken Framework?

The OToken Framework is a versatile toolkit for creating stable and yield bearing crypto assets backed by an underlying base token. Instead of relying on a monolithic approach, the OToken Framework is designed to be highly modular and adaptable, allowing projects to define their own parameters, strategies, and risk profiles. By using this framework, DAOs and DeFi protocols can launch assets that combine the stability of trusted base tokens with the flexibility and earning potential of advanced financial engineering.
