| Rail | Value | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| TVL Floor | $100,000 USD | Pools below this liquidity threshold are excluded from all views and API responses. |
| Anomaly Cap | 1,000% APY | Pools exceeding this total APY are excluded as anomalous — they never enter a plan or appear in results. |
| Data Source | DefiLlama pools API | All yield data is fetched from DefiLlama. DeFi Garden does not produce its own APY figures. |
| Pricing | 100% free | All endpoints, tools, and calculators are accessible without payment or API keys. |
DeFi Garden scores pools with a multi-factor DeFi Score (rate stability, TVL depth, protocol track record) and publishes 14-day yield forecasts. The methodology is verifiable against historical data; forecast accuracy is tracked and will be published at /forecast-accuracy.
Goal: Accumulate a $35,000 USD down payment for a home over 3 years. Strategy: $800/month recurring deposit into curated stablecoin lending pools (USDC on Base & Arbitrum). Compound yield acceleration shortens the required horizon by 4.2 months. Live Preset: /?preset=tomoko.
Goal: Fund a $250/month recurring utility & software expense perpetually. Strategy: Allocate $60,000 USD across low-risk lending protocols (Aave V3, Morpho Blue) averaging 5.0% APY. Generates $3,000/year in passive cash flow without principal depletion. Live Preset: /?preset=kevin.
Goal: Maximize risk-adjusted yield on $100,000 USD in USDC/USDT across Layer 2 networks. Achieves 6.8% blended APY with 100% of capital secured in pools exceeding $1M+ TVL.
