DeFi Yield Analysis & Optimization
Overview
Analyze and compare yields across DeFi protocols — lending, liquidity provision, staking, and yield farming — to identify the best risk-adjusted opportunities and assess sustainability. DeFi yields are a real-time proxy for crypto market leverage demand, capital allocation, and protocol health.
Core Concepts
1. DeFi Yield Sources
| Yield Source | Mechanism | Typical APY Range | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lending (supply) | Earn interest from borrowers | 1-15% (stablecoins 3-8%) | Low-medium |
| Borrowing cost | Interest paid by borrowers | 3-20% | N/A (cost side) |
| LP fees (AMM) | Trading fee share from DEX | 5-50% (varies by pair) | Medium-high |
| Staking | Validator/delegation rewards | 3-15% | Low-medium |
| Liquidity mining | Protocol token incentives | 10-500% (unsustainable) | High |
| Restaking | Re-hypothecated staking yield | 5-20% (ETH + AVS rewards) | Medium-high |
| Points farming | Off-chain points → future airdrop | Unknown (speculative) | Very high |
