Farming Benchmarks:
Average Lending APY on proven stablecoins: 3 - 5%
Unincentivized. Yields are still holding in the 3–5% range. Aave USDC was this week’s standout, up 29bp to 3.47%, while sUSDe and syrupUSDC gave back the most ground (-15bp, -11bp). Ondo’s USDY remains the steadiest name on the board, flat for a second straight week.
Fixed Rate benchmark: 3 - 7%
Fixed-rate (PT) benchmarks range 4–7%:
USDG at 3.03%, down from last week’s 3.27%
USDS at 5.25% - slight change from last week’s 5.23%
and AUSD at 6.73% (slightly up from last week’s 6.51%

StakeDAO – Llamalend wstETH crvUSD Lending – 15.% APR (Ethereum – Boosted lending)
Lend crvUSD into Curve’s Llamalend market where borrowers post wstETH as collateral, boosted via StakeDAO’s veCRV lock (2.50x) on top of the base Curve lending rate. On the base (unboosted) Curve app, net supply APY shows 7.11% (30-day average 9.66%), and StakeDAO’s boost pushes it to the current 15.74% APR shown on their vault. Underlying TVL is $1.37M with total deposits on StakeDAO’s side still very small ($22.56) — this looks like a fresh, thinly-deposited strategy.
Risk — Medium ⚠️
The historical rate chart tells an important story: current APY on the base market has fallen sharply to 0.19%, down from a 1M average of 2.46% and 1Y average of 4.12% — this rate is genuinely volatile and swings with wstETH borrowing demand.
The StakeDAO boosted figure (15.74%) reflects a snapshot and can move just as much as the base rate does. With only $22.56 currently deposited through StakeDAO, this vault has essentially no track record yet — you’d be an early depositor.
Available liquidity on the base market is $570.26K against $1.52M total, which is reasonable, but confirm current conditions before entering given how much the rate has moved recently. Curve, Llamalend, and StakeDAO smart contract risk applies.
Aerodrome – Slipstream USDC/USDT LP – Up to 11% APR(Base – Concentrated LP)
A concentrated liquidity (CLMM) position on Aerodrome’s Slipstream on Base, pairing USDC and USDT. Unlike a standard stable pool, this requires setting a price range — tighter ranges earn more fees per dollar deployed but need more active management, since the position stops earning if the price moves outside your range. At the tightest ±0.01% range, current APR was showing ~3.91%; wider ranges or Autopilot mode can push toward the 11% ceiling depending on volume and range selection.
Risk - Medium ⚠️ This is not passive — CLMM positions require monitoring and occasional rebalancing as price drifts, or the position falls out of range and stops earning fees entirely. The actual APR you get depends heavily on the range you choose; the 11% figure is not guaranteed at every setting. USDT counterparty risk (centralized issuer) applies. Aerodrome and Base smart contract/network risk applies. More hands-on than the other picks this week.
IPOR – TAU cbETH Dynamic Looping –5.7%+ 3% APY + IPOR Points(Base – Leveraged loop)
IPOR’s automated TAU strategy loops cbETH (Coinbase’s liquid staking token) across Aave v3 Core, Euler v2, Clearstar Fusion, and Morpho on Base, dynamically rebalancing to optimize the spread without manual management.
Current spot APY is 5.74%, with the position also earning IPOR points as a bonus on top. Aave v3 Core is the dominant allocation (93.5%: $37.2M assets at 2.37%, $32.9M liabilities at 1.95%), with smaller slices in Euler and Morpho. Withdrawals are scheduled with a 12-hour delay rather than instantly.
⚠️ The 30-day performance chart shows real spikes and dips rather than a flat rate — expect variability. The 12-hour withdrawal delay means you can’t exit instantly in a fast-moving market. cbETH is Coinbase’s LST, carrying centralized issuer risk on top of standard smart contract risk. IPOR’s dynamic strategy adds a contract layer managing the loop across four separate protocols (Aave, Euler, Clearstar, Morpho) — more moving parts than a single-protocol loop. Base network risk applies.
