Risk Level
Category
Showing 20 of 20 protocols
Low Risk
Battle-tested protocols (Aave, Lido, Compound) with 2+ years of operation, multi-audits, and deep liquidity. Suitable for most investors.
Examples: Lido ETH, Aave USDC, Compound, Rocket Pool
Medium Risk
Solid protocols with some additional risk vectors — newer deployments, algorithmic strategies, or multi-step yield sources. Do your own research.
Examples: Curve LP, Yearn Vaults, Morpho, Pendle
High Risk
Higher APY comes with higher risk — concentrated liquidity (impermanent loss), novel mechanisms, or bridge risk. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
Examples: Uniswap V4 concentrated, Stargate, volatile pairs
⚠️ Important: APY rates are approximations and change constantly. DeFi carries smart contract, liquidity, and market risks — including total loss of funds. This is not financial advice. Always DYOR and never invest more than you can afford to lose. Data updated March 2026.
