Find and compare DeFi yield opportunities across protocols with APY calculations, risk assessment, and optimization recommendations. Use when searching for yield farming opportunities, comparing DeFi protocols, or analyzing APY/APR rates. Trigger with phrases like "find DeFi yields", "compare APY", "best yield farming", "optimize DeFi returns", "stablecoin yields", or "liquidity pool rates".

Optimizing DeFi Yields

Overview

Find and compare DeFi yield opportunities across protocols. Aggregates data from DeFiLlama and other sources to provide APY/APR comparisons, risk assessments, and optimization recommendations for yield farming strategies.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure you have:
  • Python 3.8+ installed
  • Internet access for API queries
  • Understanding of DeFi concepts (APY, APR, TVL, impermanent loss)

Instructions

Step 1: Search for Yield Opportunities

Find top yields across all chains:
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 20
Filter by specific chain:
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --top 10

Step 2: Filter by Criteria

Filter by minimum TVL (for safety):
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --min-tvl 10000000 --top 15
Filter by asset type:
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --asset USDC --chain ethereum
Filter by protocol:
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --protocol aave,compound,curve

Step 3: Apply Risk Filters

Show only audited protocols:
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --audited-only --min-tvl 1000000
Filter by risk level:
LevelFlagDescription
Low
--risk low
Blue-chip, battle-tested protocols
Medium
--risk medium
Established protocols, moderate risk
High
--risk high
Newer protocols, higher yields
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --risk low --min-apy 3

Step 4: Analyze Specific Opportunities

Get detailed breakdown for a pool:
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --pool "aave-v3-usdc-ethereum" --detailed
Compare specific protocols:
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --compare aave,compound,spark --asset USDC

Step 5: Export Results

Export to JSON for further analysis:
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 50 --format json --output yields.json
Export to CSV:
bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --format csv --output eth_yields.csv

  TVL Trend:       +5% (30d)
  Risk Score:      9.2/10 (Low Risk)

  Risk Factors:
  • Smart contract dependency on Curve
  • CRV/CVX reward token volatility
  • Vote-lock mechanics

Error Handling

See 
{baseDir}/references/errors.md
for comprehensive error handling.
Common issues:
  • API timeout: Uses cached data with staleness warning
  • No pools found: Broaden search criteria
  • Invalid protocol: Check supported protocols list

Examples

See 
{baseDir}/references/examples.md
for detailed usage examples.

Quick Examples

Find stablecoin yields:
bash
python yield_optimizer.py --asset USDC,USDT,DAI --min-tvl 10000000
Low-risk opportunities:
bash
python yield_optimizer.py --risk low --audited-only --min-apy 2
Multi-chain search:
bash
python yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum,arbitrum,polygon --top 20
Export top yields:
bash
python yield_optimizer.py --top 100 --format json --output all_yields.json

Configuration

Settings in 
{baseDir}/config/settings.yaml
:
  • Default chain: Primary chain to search
  • Cache TTL: How long to cache API responses
  • Risk weights: Customize risk scoring factors
  • Min TVL default: Default minimum TVL filter
