Earn ~17% Fees APR Providing AUSD/USDT Liquidity on LFJ (Avalanche)
A new stablecoin liquidity opportunity on LFJ (formerly Trader Joe) on Avalanche is currently generating around 17% APR from trading fees, with an additional ~0.5% AVAX rewards APR.
The strategy involves providing liquidity to the AUSD/USDT pool, which is a stablecoin pair designed to stay close to 1:1, allowing users to earn high fee revenue while maintaining relatively low price volatility.
Because the yield is mostly driven by trading fees, this farm benefits directly from swap activity between AUSD and USDT rather than relying on token incentives.
Protocol Overview
LFJ (Trader Joe)
LFJ is one of the largest DeFi protocols on Avalanche, operating as the chain’s primary DEX and liquidity hub.
The platform uses Liquidity Book (LB) technology, which allows LPs to concentrate liquidity into specific price bins to improve capital efficiency and increase fee generation.
Key features:
• Concentrated liquidity model
• Active stablecoin trading pairs
• Deep liquidity across Avalanche DeFi
Because of the concentrated liquidity structure, LPs can capture higher fee APR compared to traditional AMMs when liquidity is placed within the active trading range.
AUSD (Agora Finance)
AUSD is a USD-pegged stablecoin issued by Agora Finance, designed to be used across DeFi markets as a composable stable asset.
The stablecoin is part of the Agora ecosystem, which focuses on building liquidity and stablecoin infrastructure across multiple chains.
Users can obtain AUSD in two main ways:
Mint via Agora Finance
Swap directly on LFJ
For most users, the simplest option is swapping USDT or another stablecoin into AUSD directly on LFJ before providing liquidity.Strategy Overview
This strategy involves providing liquidity to the AUSD/USDT pool on LFJ (Avalanche) within a concentrated price range.
Current yield:
• ~17% APR from trading fees
• ~0.5% APR from AVAX rewards
Total expected yield: ~17.5% APR
Since both assets are stablecoins, the strategy primarily earns from swap activity between the two assets.
Liquidity Range
The optimal liquidity range currently used for this strategy is:
Min price
0.99262768 USDT per AUSD
Max price
1.00742707 USDT per AUSD
This range keeps liquidity centered around the 1:1 stablecoin peg, allowing LPs to capture the majority of trading volume.
Bridging to Avalanche
Before participating, users may need to bridge funds from Ethereum or another chain.
Steps:
Bridge assets from Ethereum → Avalanche
Use Avalanche Bridge or a cross-chain bridge
Receive funds on Avalanche
Swap into AUSD and USDT
Once funds are on Avalanche, users can access LFJ directly.
How to Get AUSD
There are two main ways to obtain AUSD.
Option 1 — Swap on LFJ (Easiest)
Go to LFJ
Swap USDT → AUSD
This is the fastest method for most users.
Option 2 — Mint via Agora
Users can also mint AUSD through Agora Finance, depending on the minting mechanism available in the ecosystem.
However, most LP participants simply swap for AUSD on LFJ.
How to Provide Liquidity
Step-by-step:
Bridge funds to Avalanche (you can do it on Stargate using an EVM wallet)
Swap part of your funds into AUSD
Keep the rest as USDT
Select the AUSD / USDT pool
Choose liquidity shape:
Spot liquidity (recommended)
Set the liquidity range:
Min price
0.99262768
Max price
1.00742707
Deposit both assets
Confirm the transaction
Once active, the LP position will begin earning swap fees and AVAX rewards.
Yield Source
The yield is generated from two sources:
Trading Fees (~17% APR)
• Swaps between AUSD and USDT
• Arbitrage trading between stablecoins
• Stablecoin liquidity demand
AVAX Rewards (~0.5% APR)
• Incentives provided by the protocol
Because the majority of yield comes from fees, the APR will fluctuate depending on trading volume.
Risks
Stablecoin Depeg Risk
If AUSD or USDT deviates significantly from $1, LP positions may experience losses.
Range Risk
If the price moves outside the chosen range, the position stops earning fees until rebalanced.
Smart Contract Risk
LFJ and Agora Finance are smart contract systems that carry technical risk.
