I've been reading about yield farming and how people were making huge returns a couple years ago, but I'm wondering if that's still a thing or if the opportunities have dried up. I see all these protocols like Aave, Compound, and Yearn mentioned but I'm not sure which ones actually generate decent yields now without crazy risk. I'm not trying to get rich overnight, just want to put some stablecoins to work earning something better than a bank. Anyone actively farming these days? Would love to hear what's actually working and what's not worth the hassle.
Great question, and you're right to be skeptical the crazy 100% APYs are mostly gone, but there are still solid opportunities if you know where to look. I've been farming for about a year and what helped me most was finding detailed tutorials that explain the mechanics of each protocol step by step. For stablecoins, I'd recommend looking into this link it has walkthroughs for Aave and Compound for lending, Curve for stablecoin pools, and Yearn if you want automated strategies. The key is understanding the risks (impermanent loss, smart contract risk) before jumping in. I started with a small test deposit on Aave and expanded once I felt comfortable.
Thanks, that's really helpful. A step-by-step walkthrough is exactly what I need to feel confident enough to try it. I'll start with a small amount on Aave like you suggested and go from there. Really appreciate the practical advice.
