Most DeFi APYs are paid in tokens that print themselves. We rank 10 strategies by where the yield really comes from and what breaks first when markets turn.
Beyond Polymarket and Kalshi, six smaller prediction-market projects are running activity-driven campaigns that could pay out in tokens if and when those projects ship one.
The rollout broadens Polymarket's product scope beyond prediction markets, while leverage of up to 20x increases exposure and liquidation risk across a wider set of assets.
Compound is the lending protocol that helped invent DeFi yield. Deposit assets, earn interest set by an algorithm, or borrow against them. Here is how it works.
A perp DEX can liquidate a profitable trade if its margin system, oracle, or insurance fund fails. Learn how positions, funding, and ADL really work.

Hyperliquid runs an on-chain CLOB and leads on volume, dYdX v4 went app-chain, and Aster is a fast-rising Multichain rival. Fees, insurance funds, and ADL risk all differ.
These three protocols look similar from a lender's dashboard, but they're built on different abstractions. Risk profile, oracle exposure, and governance differ in ways deposits reveal.
Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Curve, and Balancer use different pricing functions. See which designs fit volatile pairs, stablecoins, and baskets.
Beyond USDC, a new wave of bank- and consortium-issued stablecoins (USDG, PYUSD, RLUSD, USD1) promises stricter compliance. Here is how they differ on reserves, licensing, and redemption.
