Spoiler: This is a zero IL strategy that lets you enjoy MATIC price appreciation
Here’s how you deploy it 🧵👇
1/5
Step #1: Or should we say Step #0
Because converting MATIC to MaticX should be the first priority of any MATIC holder
It gives you an extra layer of yield regardless of your DeFi participation
Stake your MATIC with Stader for a ~6% APY
And mint MaticX tokens
2/5
Step #2:
Deposit MaticX on Aave
Borrow 40% of MaticX value in stablecoins
Aave charges you an interest rate of 1-2%
But:
Note that you’re technically getting paid to borrow
Since, Stader’s APY > Aave’s Interest Rate
3/5
Step #3:
Find a high APY stable coin LP on your favorite autocompounder @beefyfinance or the $DAI vault on @GainsNetwork_io to get a high yield stablecoin opportunity at 10-12%
4/5
Your total APY from this strategy will be around 10%
That’s not bad when you factor in zero IL and benefits of MATIC price appreciation
