ALETH DeFi Yields
The highest honest ALETH yield right now is 8.73% on velodrome-v2 (OP Mainnet), among 13 pools above the $100K TVL floor. Rates are live from DefiLlama and exclude anomalous (>1000% APY) pools.
13 live pools above the $100K TVL floor · ranked by TVL
ALETH's largest live pool is curve-dex on Ethereum at 1.60% ($7.05M TVL). 13 ALETH pools across 2 chains clear this page's $100K TVL floor, $26.49M in total.
Your idle ALETH could earn ~3.02% — park $7.9K and it could run a $20/mo Claude Pro subscription, forever.

How this rate has behaved
ALETH shows up in 8 pools here, with rates from 1.50% to 8.73% APY across 2 chains — the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
8 of these 8 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 2.55% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
6 of 8 pools blend in incentive or reward APY on top of the base rate. Incentive yield decays over time as reward programs run down — the base rate is the more durable number.
1 of 8 pools carries impermanent-loss risk, meaning a two-sided position can lose value against just holding, even while it earns yield.

|---|---|---|---|
| curve-dex | 1.60% | 1.34% | 99.37% incentives |
| curve-dex | 1.50% | 1.27% | 98.00% incentives |
| alchemix-v3 | 5.46% | 4.75% | Base rate |
| velodrome-v2 | 8.73% | 6.98% | 100.00% incentives |
| stake-dao | 1.98% | 1.60% | 95.97% incentives |
| stake-dao | 2.94% | 2.50% | 98.30% incentives |
| convex-finance | 3.10% | 2.61% | 99.03% incentives |
| yearn-finance | 8.38% | 6.67% | Base rate |
The 30-day average comes straight from DefiLlama and only appears when it passes the same sanity rail as every other number on this page — a dash means it didn't clear that bar, not that it's being hidden. Every pool here already clears a $100K minimum TVL. Rates move daily, so treat this as a snapshot, not a promise.
