My first project/strategy overview will be @Defrost_Finance as it is still quite early and APR is quite high as of now.
🧵
1) You can add liquidity to @CurveFinance DefrostH2O3CRV-f ($H2O is a stable coin of the @Defrost_Finance protocol) pool and stake it for 100% APR, receiving $MELT as a reward.
2) You can boost APR up to 400% by stacking $MELT for $sMELT. Your melt stacking is receiving another 100% APR.
It is your choice how much you want to be exposed to the farm token, I started farming in the project when the price of $MELT was 8$, felt down to 0.3$ and in the past days it has grown up to 2.2$ (7x)
3) It is not over yet. As you can deposit yield bearing assets to the vault and borrow against them. You can perform easy looping strategies with stablecoins by depositing @BenqiFinance $qiStable or $av3crvGauge assets and minting $H2O token against them.
You will not be exposed to farm token, the risk is how much do you trust in the protocol and its ability to hold the peg of H2O.
If you are not aware how to calculate APR when performing looping strategy (lend to av3crv, borrow against deposit receipt, lend borrowed money back to av3crv, borrow against deposit receipt, ...) I highly recommend to check out @phtevenstrong with his amazing Excel calculators.

2/ Once you deposited $DAI on @iearnfinance, you should have $yvDAI in the wallet. This is called a yield bearing token: it's a token that doesn't have any value, but represents your share of a pool where your assets are earning yields and rewards are automatically compounded.
I decided to start a Twitter account as I saw how popular and demanding DeFi is right now. I see plenty influencers are promoting unsafe recommendations for people who might not know the basic market principals.
My strategy is based mostly (80-90%) on stable coins and delta neutral farms with little exposure (10-20%) to volatile assets. This strategy keeps my initial funds safe from depreciation and still let me get 50%+ APR.
Just want to explain very basic thing that when you buy a crypto you hope that somebody else will buy it for a higher price. Money are not coming from nowhere, but someone has to literally give it to you.
Security is a first priority. Few major points before you start a phenomenal DeFi journey are:
🧵
1. Use hardware wallet(s) such as @ledger for your funds. As soon as you have 5-10k $ of assets it is a must to secure your money with HW wallet. Seed phrase should never be stored on your digital device or shared with anyone.
2. Diversification is the way to safe your assets. No matter how much you trust the project you should invest only as much as you can afford to lose. Even well secured and audited protocols got exploited or rugged in the past and will be in the future.
