BOB is a BTC-centric EVM superchain. More importantly, they're running an incentives campaign.
You can find most of the incentives on @merkl_xyz.
Anywho, RIGHT NOW you can loop BTC derivates for over 100% APR.
BUT THERE ARE A FEW IMPORTANT POINTS TO MAKE:
1) Slippage matters. I do NOT recommend auto-leveraging through illiquid markets. You can get rekt.
2) Some of the incentives are in rEUL which has a vesting mechanism.
3) Unwinding can also wreck you if you do it automatically, I recommend manually doing it.
FINALLY, the LBTC markets, with over $12,000,000 BTC to borrow are 34% APR and 67% APR respectively.
PLUS POINTS. These are the best @Lombard_Finance opportunities out there, hands down.
2) @SolvProtocol solv.BTC.BNB
Solv has a new BTC derivative that allows you to participate in Binance Launchpad opportunities or staking yield with you BTC.
On top of that, you get points:
► @lista_dao
► @AstherusHub
► @kernel_dao
► @SolvProtocol (s2)
This allows for a 5-10% native yield on a BTC derivative, and a speculative play on the underlying protocol points.
I hope it also gets some composability!
3) @MorphoLabs🤝@Contango_xyz🤝@pendle_fi
With a whopping 8.5 BTC principle to deploy into this, pendle PTs strike again.
Expiry: May 29th
Max Yield: 23.1%
Leverage: 9.27x
Oracle: Pendle AMM
This is on @base and an incredibly attractive yield for the Base airdrop speculator who's also a BTC maximalist.
4) cbBTC on @KaminoFinance
Currently, Kamino has an 300K/mo incentives package specifically to borrow USDC against cbBTC.
That means the net cost to borrow stables against cbBTC is roughly 2%.
WHICH MEANS, if you can get a yield higher than 2%, you can get a positive yield on your cbBTC collateral.
EXAMPLE: 1) Collateralize $100,000 cbBTC 2) Borrow $50,000 USDC 3) Bridge to Base 4) Loop sUSDS / USDS on @growcompound for 27%
RESULT:
➢ 12.5% net LTV
➢ $51K BTC liquidation level
➢ Potential Base Airdrop participation
5) Liquidity Plays
This one is sneaky. It's the liquidBeraBTC BOYCO vault receipt token.
It's depegged by 1% because you can't redeem it until Boyco ends.
Here, you can see 70K 7-Day volume through 130-Day Liquidity.
That annualizes to 30% APR.
The caveat, of course, is that you'd have to either put buy-side liquidity in WBTC and wait for more sell pressure to enter, or buy some liquidBeraBTC from this 1% fee tier to enter, which may eat the later gains.
This is NOT for the greenhorn yield farmer.
Those are my top 5
BTC is notoriously difficult to find yields on. Nevertheless, I hope you found this useful.
If there are any obvious BTC yields that I missed, PLEASE LET ME KNOW in the comments below.
Note: While I really like earnAUSD because @withAUSD makes a great stable, the vault is now participating in a wide variety of strategies and does take on substantially more risk than simply holding or lending AUSD.
Anyone remember when you could get over 30% fixed rate APR on ETH because of the LRT points craze?
Good times. Now the yields are harder to farm, but they're still out there.
Let's take a look at the current best ETH yields out there.
🧵👇
1) @summerfinance_: 8-20% APR
$SUMR will be live within the next three weeks. That means these additionaladditionaladditional incentive APRs are much more tangible now than ever before.
➢ 20% Net on Base
➢ 21% Net on ETH
Now, I have the FDV assumption for SUMR set at 150M, but even at 50M, that would be 8% net for ETH, which is fairly decent.
2) @GearboxProtocol: 19% APR
NOW, it's important to note here that ETH+ (@reserveprotocol) is incentivizing this at the moment, which makes it so positive.
AND that the incentives officially end on the 16th.
BUT I know there is a big push to get these incentives extended, which is what I would use to justify jumping into this if I did.
In short, this is leveraged ETH+ which is basically an index of staked ETH, leveraged on GB >10x.
For those wondering, here are some of the best @monad yields to farm while they run incentives:
Almost all of the yields are on @merkl_xyz but a few aren't -- and even the ones that are need a bit of context.
🧵👇
The first thing to realize is that the Monad campaign is much smaller than, say, @Plasma, though also substantially less farmed than Plasma.
It's also larger than @arbitrum DRIP (another solid campaign).
There's $65K going to $123M TVL daily on Monad
That's 19% average APR for the whole chain's TVL
There's $235K going to $4.8b daily on Plasma
That's 1.79% average APR for the whole chain's TVL
Monad is theoretically much better in that sense.
First, stablecoin plays.
There are a couple noteworthy, all having to do with @withAUSD.
1) Depositing into @upshift_fi's earnAUSD: 21% APR 2) LPing AUSD/earnAUSD on Uni V4: 50% APR 3) Various Lending on Morpho: 7-10% APR 4) AUSD/UST0 Uni V4: 21% 5) AUSD/USDC/USDT0 Curve: 13%
Note: don't trust Merkl to be up to date with actual TVL numers. The AUSD/earnAUSD says it's 150K TVL but it's really $750K TVL, so instead of 340% APR, you're getting ~70%.
Lend aggregators are one of my favorite yield sources specifically because they allow a user to:
⇒ get yields with no IL
⇒ remain fully liquid
⇒ remain unleveraged
..and sometimes farm points
SO, let's look at the best out there and compare
🧵👇
1) @summerfinance_
SummerFi "Lower Risk" vaults do lend aggregation, tapping into an AI-driven optimization mechanism, currently the beneficiary of @arbitrum's DRIP campaign.
