How this rate has behaved
ALUSD shows up in 8 pools here, with rates from 4.51% to 28.73% APY across 3 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 9.44% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
7 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.

| alchemix-v3 | 10.51% | 11.44% | Base rate |
| convex-finance | 8.88% | 9.35% | 85.70% incentives |
| velodrome-v2 | 18.29% | 16.02% | 100.00% incentives |

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.
