Separate the headline from its components
A hypothetical pool with 8% total reported APY could show 3% base APY and 5% reward APY. Another could show 6% total with no component breakdown available. The first exposes a dependence on rewards; the second does not provide enough information to infer its composition. A missing reward value is therefore unavailable rather than assumed zero. APY fields are already percentage values, so a reported 5 means 5%.
Compare like exposures before sorting yield
Use the asset or project search and an exact deployment-chain filter before comparing rankings. A stablecoin lending position and a volatile trading pair answer different portfolio questions even when their headline APYs match. The table includes provider exposure, stablecoin and impermanent-loss labels where supplied, together with an exact pool identifier. Those labels help organize research but do not independently establish the pool’s strategy or safety.
Translate a shortlist into a real cost question
For a hypothetical $1,000 allocation, even a simple $50 annualized gross amount can be materially affected by entry and exit costs; a $100,000 allocation raises different capacity questions. This screen does not model either user’s realized result. Gas, slippage, lockups, changing incentives and reward-token prices remain outside the displayed estimate. Review the protocol’s current terms and pool mechanism before treating a rate as attainable. The receipt time dates the fetched provider snapshot, and a failed refresh does not replace missing information with invented yields.
