1. Earn Up to 11% on USD Stablecoin Farms:


Euler Cassa RWA AUSD Vault - 11% APY (Ethereum · Lending vault)

Lend AUSD into Cassa’s curated Euler vault. The vault is exposed to two RWA-linked assets: USPC (a tokenized private credit product) and STRC (Strategy’s preferred equity, the same asset backing apxUSD and sUSDat). Most of the yield comes from the 11% AUSD reward on top of base lending rates. Cassa is a smaller, newer curator focused on real-world asset collateral.

⚠️STRC exposure is the key concern — it has traded at $90–93 twice in the past six months, and any discount weakens collateral ratios in the vault. USPC is private credit, meaning off-chain counterparty risk that’s harder to monitor. Cassa has less track record than larger curators. Euler smart contract risk applies.

Morpho Alpha Frax USD Enhanced V2 - 10% APY (Ethereum · Lending Vault)

Lend frxUSD into Alpha’s curated Morpho vault. 91.5% of the vault is allocated to sDOLA/frxUSD — sDOLA is Dolomite’s yield-bearing stablecoin. You earn base lending yield plus a split reward of 5% frxUSD and 5% FRAX tokens. Alpha is a mid-sized curator with $62M TVL across their vaults. Performance fee is 10%.

⚠️sDOLA dominates the collateral allocation — any Dolomite smart contract issue or sDOLA depeg tightens borrower ratios and risks bad debt. The 10% performance fee reduces effective yield. Half the reward is in FRAX tokens, adding governance token price exposure. Available liquidity in the vault has been thin recently — confirm before entering large positions.

Sei Morpho PYUSD Vault - 8% APY - (Sei · Lending vault)

Lend PYUSD — PayPal’s regulated, T-bill-backed stablecoin — into a Morpho vault on Sei. Earn borrower interest plus a 6% USDC reward. Collateral includes wsrUSD (Reservoir’s yield-bearing stable), sfrxUSD (staked Frax USD), and BTC. Running on Sei gives a different chain diversification from the Ethereum-heavy rest of the list.

⚠️BTC as collateral introduces volatility — a sharp BTC drawdown can tighten borrower ratios quickly. wsrUSD and sfrxUSD each carry their own smart contract and peg risk. Sei is a less battle-tested chain than Ethereum, adding network-level risk. PYUSD itself remains one of the strongest underlying assets available.

Euler Sentora PYUSD Vault - 8% APY (Ethereum · Lending)

Lend PYUSD — PayPal’s stablecoin, issued by Paxos under NYDFS regulation and backed 100% by cash and short-duration US Treasuries — into Sentora’s curated Euler vault. At $174M total supply this is one of the largest PYUSD lending markets in DeFi. Borrowers can post USDC, USDe, sUSDe, syrupUSDC, or PT-sUSDE as collateral, with LTVs ranging from 85–91%. The vault runs a 10% interest fee and has bad debt socialisation enabled — meaning losses from undercollateralized positions are spread across all lenders.

⚠️sUSDe and USDe are accepted collateral — any Ethena peg pressure tightens borrower ratios and increases bad debt risk. PT-sUSDE (a Pendle PT) as collateral adds maturity and liquidity risk. Bad debt socialisation means lenders absorb losses if liquidations fail — check this is something you’re comfortable with. At 83% utilization, available liquidity is $29M — large enough for most positions, but high utilization means borrow rates can spike, which affects lender APY. Sentora curator risk and Euler smart contract risk apply.

2. Farm up to 18% ETH APY


Balancer WETH/rETH LP - 18% APY (Optimism · ETH LST LP)

The same WETH/rETH pool structure from previous weeks — now on Optimism with a significantly better incentive package. 19% in USDC rewards (not token emissions — actual USDC) plus 2% in RPL on top of trading fees. The USDC reward component is notably clean: you’re earning stablecoin yield on an ETH LP position, which reduces the token price exposure that typically comes with incentivized pools.

⚠️The unusually high USDC incentive is worth monitoring — incentive programs end, and when they do the APR drops sharply. rETH carries Rocket Pool smart contract risk. Impermanent loss is low given ETH-correlation between both assets, but not zero. Optimism is a well-established L2 but adds network risk compared to Ethereum mainnet. Verify the incentive end date before committing.

3. Higher Risk/Comlex Farms Up To 25% Stablecoin APY & 22% ETH APY
