Farming Benchmarks:
Every farm below beats that baseline. When a rate looks too good relative to this range, that gap is usually the incentive/emissions component, not organic yield — check the breakdown in each card.

Stable: PT USDat on Pendle, 7.55% fixed
Buy the PT USDat 14 Jan 2027 token at a discount of about 1.3%, and it redeems for 1 USDat at maturity, 64 days from now. That locks in 7.55% a year if you hold to the end. USDat is Saturn’s dollar stablecoin and holds no STRC; that exposure sits only in its staked version, sUSDat.
Stablecoin risk: USDat is backed 1:1 by PYUSDx (MoonPay), which is backed by Paxos’s PYUSD, whose reserves are Treasuries and cash. Only Paxos is independently attested, so the two layers above it rest on trust. Redemption is limited to eligible counterparties, and most holders exit through Curve, about $19M deep. Admin keys can upgrade or freeze the token with no timelock.
Farm risk: The 7.55% is fixed only to maturity. Selling early costs slippage, as PT liquidity is only $1.3M. At the end, you get USDat, not USDC, and part of the discount reflects demand for Saturn’s points.
How to enter
Open the market below, connect your wallet, and choose Buy PT.
Enter your amount (USDC if offered), check the 14 Jan 2027 maturity and fixed rate, then approve and confirm.
After maturity, redeem the PT for USDat in your Pendle portfolio.
LP: PYUSD/crvUSD on Stake DAO, about 14%
This is a Curve pool of two dollar stablecoins, deposited through Stake DAO’s boosted vault. The rate is mostly CRV rewards, and the pool is small.
Stablecoin risk: PYUSD is issued by Paxos and backed by dollar deposits, Treasuries and cash equivalents, with monthly KPMG attestations. Paxos can freeze addresses. crvUSD is the riskier side: it is minted against ETH, staked ETH and BTC collateral, and held near $1 by soft liquidations (LLAMMA) and PegKeepers. It fell to $0.949 in Aug 2023 and spiked to $1.11 in Jun 2024, and Webacy rates it B+.
Farm risk: About 11 of the 13.8 points come from a Merkl campaign paying a fixed $194 a day to everyone staked here, until 24 Jul 2027. The vault holds only about $632K, so more deposits dilute it: at $2M staked it would be about 3.5%. The reward is a Yield Basis crvUSD wrapper priced near $1, and I could not confirm what it redeems into. If either coin depegs, you end up holding the weaker one.
How to enter
Get PYUSD and crvUSD and add them to the Curve PYUSD/crvUSD pool for the LP token. The vault page also has a Zap tab.
Deposit the LP token in the Stake DAO vault below. Claim rewards from its Claim tab; the Merkl reward may show up on Merkl instead.
To leave, withdraw from the vault, then remove liquidity on Curve.
