Jinsi ya kukokotoa Stablecoin Yield
Stablecoin Yield ni nini?
The Stablecoin Yield Comparison Calculator compares interest rates across DeFi lending protocols, centralized platforms, and on-chain strategies for earning yield on USD-pegged stablecoins like USDC, USDT, and DAI.
Fomula
Annual Yield = Principal × APY × (1 - Platform Fee%) - Gas Costs
- P
- Principal ($) — Stablecoin amount deposited for yield
- APY
- Annual Percentage Yield (%) — Advertised or current supply rate on the protocol
- F
- Fees ($) — Gas costs and any platform fees
- R
- Risk Factor (%) — Estimated probability of partial or total loss
Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua
- 1Enter the stablecoin amount and select the stablecoins you hold
- 2Compare current supply APY across protocols (Aave, Compound, MakerDAO DSR, etc.)
- 3Factor in platform fees, gas costs for deposits/withdrawals, and compounding frequency
- 4Evaluate risk-adjusted yield by considering protocol risk, smart contract risk, and depeg risk
Mifano Iliyotatuliwa
Ingizo
$100K USDC, Aave V3 supply rate 4.5%, no platform fee, $20 gas to deposit
Matokeo
Annual yield = $100K × 0.045 = $4,500 - $20 gas = $4,480 net
Ingizo
$100K DAI in MakerDAO DSR at 5%, no gas (already in Maker vault)
Matokeo
Annual yield = $100K × 0.05 = $5,000
Makosa ya Kawaida ya Kuepuka
- ✕Chasing the highest rate without considering the protocol smart contract risk
- ✕Not accounting for stablecoin depeg risk — not all stablecoins are equally safe
- ✕Ignoring that DeFi rates are variable and can drop significantly within days
Maswali yanayoulizwa mara kwa mara
What is a safe stablecoin yield in DeFi?
Yields of 3-6% on major stablecoins via established protocols (Aave, Compound, MakerDAO) are generally considered sustainable and safe. Yields above 10% on stablecoins typically involve higher risk or unsustainable token emissions.
Which stablecoin is safest for yield farming?
USDC (Circle) is generally considered the safest due to regulated reserves and attestations. USDT (Tether) has the most liquidity but less transparency. DAI is decentralized and crypto-collateralized. Each has different risk profiles.
