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:

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 20

Filter by specific chain:

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --top 10

Step 2: Filter by Criteria

Filter by minimum TVL (for safety):

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --min-tvl 10000000 --top 15

Filter by asset type:

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --asset USDC --chain ethereum

Filter by protocol:

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --protocol aave,compound,curve

Step 3: Apply Risk Filters

Show only audited protocols:

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --audited-only --min-tvl 1000000

Filter by risk level:

Level	Flag	Description
Low	`--risk low`	Blue-chip, battle-tested protocols
Medium	`--risk medium`	Established protocols, moderate risk
High	`--risk high`	Newer protocols, higher yields

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --risk low --min-apy 3

Step 4: Analyze Specific Opportunities

Get detailed breakdown for a pool:

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --pool "aave-v3-usdc-ethereum" --detailed

Compare specific protocols:

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --compare aave,compound,spark --asset USDC

Step 5: Export Results

Export to JSON for further analysis:

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 50 --format json --output yields.json

Export to CSV:

python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --format csv --output eth_yields.csv

  Audit Status:    ✓ Audited (Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin)
  Protocol Age:    3+ years

  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:

python yield_optimizer.py --asset USDC,USDT,DAI --min-tvl 10000000

Low-risk opportunities:

python yield_optimizer.py --risk low --audited-only --min-apy 2

Multi-chain search:

python yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum,arbitrum,polygon --top 20

Export top yields:

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
