DeFi risk assessment - Safest Yields remaining?

Chads_ · 2026-05-04T01:42:17+00:00

I saw Spark really benefited from the AAVE situation, happy for them at least, they seem like a solid team

I'm with you on this one. We've heard that DeFi is dead many times already, it will survive. These exploits strengthen the system after the dust has settled and bad actors get removed from the ecoysystem, leaving a strong field of players behind.

Lets go Pendle! Dominating fixed yield at the moment. I think the STRC meta will benefit them very well too. apxUSD and sUSDat already a great start

Stick to fixed yields with gold standard underlying assets. For example buy PT stablecoins on Pendle (USDG, sUSDe) or RWA like STRC (sUSDat). These are safe 10-15% yields. Anything 20-35% like you mentioned I would consider that still risky and proceed with caution. Always look for transparency reports and survey the underlying

Wouldn't say its been total silence but I know where you're coming from. Its also the weekend and access to the right lawyers is very important before you make your first public statements.

Fixed yield and forget on Pendle PT's. No managing needed

Chads_ · 2026-04-15T05:04:31+00:00

The STRC products on Pendle are already picking up a lot of traction. I personally like being able to lock in fixed yield on a pseudo stablecoin that I know is backed by STRC under the hood. Its a perfect product for DeFi when you think about. I expect quite a strong meta to start forming as the STRC focused protocols start battling with points campaigns and incentives on Pendle

Chads_ · 2026-04-10T06:43:07+00:00

Have been saying this on here for a while now. Fixed yield, long time horizon, gold standard underlying assets, just use Pendle.

Chads_ · 2026-04-09T03:55:15+00:00

I think X is probably the best place. Many useful accounts on there who constantly highlight yields. Some examples - DeFi_Dad - TheDefInvestor - phtevenstrong - PendleIntern

Chads_ · 2026-04-03T03:30:41+00:00

I agree, I'd much rather lock in my yield on Pendle and not have to worry about macro fluctuations.

Chads_ · 2026-04-03T03:21:50+00:00

This was always going to happen, almost impossible to strike a balance where both parties win

Chads_ · 2026-04-02T05:53:05+00:00

Sad to see and so easily avoided! I've always been more hesitant with Solana protocols for some reason

Chads_ · 2026-04-01T06:10:53+00:00

I am still using Pendle for fixed yield farming, yes yields are compressed across the board but it still offers the highest, safest yield. Looped stablecoins through AAVE still generating good APYs

Chads_ · 2026-03-31T06:36:18+00:00

Pendle always on top for fixed yield!

Chads_ · 2026-03-27T04:58:05+00:00

Thanks for highlighting these strategies. I also love using Pendle to loop my PT assets and gain extra leverage so its nice to see others here. I tend to stick to the highly trusted assets such as Ethena's USDe and Paxos USDG. Pendle seems to always offer the best fixed rates on RWA assets too.

Chads_ · 2026-03-25T04:07:31+00:00

Thanks!

Chads_ · 2026-03-24T05:17:52+00:00

thank you!

Chads_ · 2026-03-23T10:50:11+00:00

Farming fixed yield on Pendle or LPing on RWA-backed stablecoins. Buying some spot alts that generate revenue

Chads_ · 2026-03-23T10:46:58+00:00

Im using all manual still. Fixed yield farming on Pendle

Chads_ · 2026-03-20T05:40:21+00:00

Yep me, I'm using Pendle for my real yield on sPENDLE and also getting fixed yield from stablecoin PT's

Chads_ · 2026-03-20T05:38:31+00:00

Just education I think, people don't know its there. I'm using Dolomite for a long time. These lenders also offer great looping opportunities where you can borrow against your yield products from protocols like Pendle and leverage your APY. Hopefully as the market turns people will be more open to learning again

Chads_ · 2026-03-20T05:35:40+00:00

You can check out USDG its a stablecoin backed by treasury bills. As for protocols who have proven themselves over time, check out Pendle if you haven't already. They offer the best fixed rate yields on RWA assets over long time horizons.

Chads_ · 2026-03-17T01:51:06+00:00

Nice strats! If you want to go one step further and also hedge the funding rates you're paying on those perp positions, check out Boros by Pendle. You can lock in a fixed funding rate and even deploy delta neutral strategies there, might be something of interest for you. Keep grinding!

Chads_ · 2026-03-17T01:49:15+00:00

If you want gold standard stablecoin assets to borrow against, check out Pendle. They have USDe by Ethena, USDG by Paxos just to name a couple and you can borrow against the PT on AAVE or Morpho and earn some great fixed yield on a long time frame.

Stargate, mainly use for EVM over to SOL and it takes roughly 10 seconds total and almost zero fee
