• Smart contract risk in any underlying protocols

• Pool size and liquidity depth

• Front-end spoof attack on an app frontend

• An economic design exploit

• Colluding signers on any multisig

• Systemic risk across DeFi, including stablecoin depegs

Bonus: One of our partners that we’re working with called GOAT Network has just launched their Alpha Mainnet. There’s some nice early yield opportunities for people that want to get yield on BTC and DOGE.

GOAT Network is launching with a decentralized sequencer where all chain revenues will be distributed to users via real yields on staked assets (BTC, DOGE). For a better understanding, give this a read:

Currently there is a base rate of 20% APY on BTC and DOGE which is currently all airdrop yield, but will soon include chain sequencer revenue + mining yields which should drive this number higher:

Bonus: One of the reasons Tokemak has become a mainstay here is because of its high yield but also transparency in how they present their yields.

Their dineroETH pools are doing especially well right now:

Leverage Looping Yields

Looping can be a very effective leverage strategy to earn more yield, but one must be cautious to monitor borrowing rates, and liquidations which are a necessary cost to generate such leveraged yields (we don’t recommend max leverage). It’s also important to know if you’re going after points or real yield when looping.

If you’re bullish Ethena and their new DEX called Ethereal that just went live on Euler:

Another protocol I have yet to use myself, but keeping an eye on is Loopfi. They are starting to get some traction. We’ve also met the team behind this project as well which always gives some piece of mind.

That’s all for now, thanks for checking it out!
