This Week’s Farming News:

Neutrl’s new NUSD and sNUSD Pendle pools are live with a September 24 maturity aligned to Season 2’s end, with LP and YT NUSD points boosted to 70x.
Neutrl Season 2 started, running through mid-September and concludes with Neutrl’s TGE, with the focus shifting from growth to long-term alignment through Founders Locks — offering up to 700x points/day for participants willing to commit capital beyond the season’s end.
Pendle launched a fixed-rate sUSDS market at 5.3% APY through November 2026 — above the current variable Sky Savings Rate of 3.6% — with $30K in weekly Sky incentives.
DeFi Saver launches $50K USDC incentive campaign starting next week for users managing positions across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. Early participants using manual boosts, automated rebalancing, or Hyperliquid perp trades gain priority access to rewards.
Tangent’s sUSG is currently yielding up to 20.10% APY, generated from protocol revenue rather than external incentives.
Rhea Finance launched One Click Earn on Arbitrum, offering 11–12.92% APY on USDC ($20.7M TVL) and 10.25–12.26% APY on USDT ($19.97M TVL).
Hylo liquidity vaults launch on Kamino with hyUSD-USDC earning 11.76% APY
Pendle offers 10.27% fixed APY on nOPAL short-dated RWA yields backed by Nest Credit. The fixed-rate product lets users lock in returns on real-world assets without exposure to variable interest rate risk.
Binance USD1 Airdrop Campaign offers 4.99% base APR and 5.99% boosted APR on Solana with no reward caps.
Echelon Market offers 9.37% APR on iUSD deposits from Initia across Aptos and Echelon Chain. Rewards accrue immediately with no vesting period.

Earn Up to 15% on USD Stablecoin Farms:

Convex Curve USD3/sUSDe LP - 8% APR (Ethereum · Stable LP)

Curve stable pool pairing USD3 (Reserve Protocol’s diversified stablecoin, backed by a basket of blue-chip stables) with sUSDe (Ethena’s yield-bearing stablecoin). Staked via Convex, which pools veCRV to give you a 2.32x CRV boost without needing to lock CRV yourself — and adds a small CVX reward on top. You earn trading fees from swaps between the two assets plus the boosted CRV and CVX emissions. A familiar, well-understood yield structure from two established protocols.

⚠️Medium Risk⚠️ sUSDe carries Ethena basis risk — if the funding rate on Ethena’s delta-neutral strategy turns negative for extended periods, sUSDe yield and peg can come under pressure. USD3’s peg depends on its basket of underlying stables. CRV and CVX rewards add governance token price exposure. The pool TVL is very thin at $142.9k — large positions will have meaningful price impact on entry and exit, and if TVL drops further, liquidity could become an issue. Curve and Convex smart contract risk applies, though both are among the most battle-tested protocols in DeFi.

Convex Curve RLUSD/USDC LP - 15% APR (Ethereum · Boosted LP )

Curve stable pool pairing USDC with RLUSD — Ripple’s regulated stablecoin, issued under NYDFS oversight and backed 1:1 by US dollars and short-duration Treasuries. Staked via Convex for a 2.5x CRV boost. Almost all of the yield (14.74%) comes from RLUSD liquidity incentives — Ripple is actively paying to bootstrap this pool’s liquidity. Base Curve trading fees are minimal at 0.31%, reflecting low swap volume currently. With $18.7M TVL this is a meaningfully deeper pool than most incentivized stables this week.

⚠️Lower Risk⚠️USDC and RLUSD are both fully regulated, fiat-backed stablecoins — about as clean a stable pair as you can find in DeFi. The main risk is incentive sustainability: 14.74% of the yield is RLUSD rewards paid by Ripple to bootstrap the pool. These can be reduced or ended at any time, which would compress the APR sharply. Low trading volume (0.31% base) means organic yield without incentives is minimal. Curve and Convex smart contract risk applies, though both are battle-tested. Impermanent loss is negligible on a USDC/RLUSD pair.

Aave v4 USDG - 8% APR (Lending · Ethereum)

Lend USDG — Global Dollar Network’s stablecoin, a regulated USD-pegged asset backed by short-duration US Treasuries — into Aave v4’s lending market on Ethereum. Pure lending interest, no token reward component, which means the 8% reflects real borrowing demand rather than incentive subsidies. Aave v4 is the latest iteration of the protocol with improved risk parameters and a new liquidity layer. One of the cleanest yield sources on the list this week.

⚠️Lower Risk⚠️ USDG is a newer stablecoin with a shorter track record than USDC or USDT, though the T-bill backing model is well-understood. The yield is entirely from real borrowing demand — no token subsidies — meaning it can fluctuate significantly if utilization drops. Aave v4 is freshly deployed; mature Aave markets have more battle-testing. Standard Aave smart contract risk applies, though the protocol is among the most audited in DeFi.

Balancer WETH/rETH - 5% (Base · LP)

Balancer pool on Base pairing WETH with rETH — Rocket Pool’s liquid staking token. Both assets track ETH closely so impermanent loss is minimal. You earn trading fees from swaps between the two plus 6% in RPL (Rocket Pool’s governance token). Running on Base rather than Ethereum mainnet gives slightly different gas economics and a newer network context, but the core mechanics are identical to the Ethereum version.

⚠️Lower Risk⚠️ 6% of yield is in RPL tokens — governance token price exposure on that portion. rETH carries Rocket Pool smart contract risk. Impermanent loss is minimal but not zero, as rETH trades at a slight premium from staking yield accrual. Base network risk adds a layer compared to Ethereum mainnet. One of the cleaner, lower-risk ETH positions available this week.

Higher Risk/Complex Farms Up To 30% Stablecoin APY & 16% ETH APY
