How this rate has behaved
ALUSD shows up in 8 pools here, with rates from 3.79% to 16.95% 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 5.15% — 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.
| Protocol | APY | 30d Mean APY | Yield mix |

| curve-dex | 6.32% | 5.18% | 98.26% incentives |
| convex-finance | 10.30% | 8.62% | 98.93% incentives |
| alchemix-v3 | 11.59% | 10.48% | Base rate |
| velodrome-v2 | 16.95% | 12.03% | 100.00% incentives |
| curve-dex | 3.79% | 3.11% | 79.70% incentives |
| convex-finance | 5.88% | 4.69% | 86.90% incentives |

| stake-dao | 13.43% | 5.01% | 99.18% 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.
