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.

We have two strategies this week from Gearbox and Kamino.

First up, is a strategy from Gearbox that can be found here:

I reached out to a Gearbox team member to get more context on what is happening under the hood on this one:

Finally, we’ve written up the Kamino “Multiply” strategies many times in YOTW and this week we’re sharing it once again. It’s a great spot to earn extra yield on your SOL and currently yielding 16.99% Max APY. This MSOL/SOL Yield Loop can be found here:
