DeFi Yield Lab Guide & Analytics
Compare real yield opportunities across major DeFi protocols. Separates genuine yield (from protocol revenue) from inflationary token emissions that inflate APY numbers artificially.
Protocol APY Comparison Table
Overview
A ranked table of DeFi protocols showing: Protocol name, Asset, Base APY (from real revenue), Reward APY (token emissions), Total APY, TVL ($B), Risk Score (1-10), and a REAL YIELD flag. Sorted by real yield descending.
How to Read
Focus on protocols with the REAL YIELD flag — these pay from actual fee revenue, not token printing. High total APY driven entirely by reward APY is unsustainable and will compress as token price falls.
Protocol Risk Score Bar
Overview
A horizontal bar chart ranking protocols by composite risk score (1-10) combining: smart contract audit status, time since last audit, TVL concentration, developer activity, and insurance coverage.
How to Read
Lower bar = lower risk. Use alongside APY — a protocol with risk score 9 offering 15% APY is not comparable to a risk score 2 protocol offering the same APY.
