How this rate has behaved
CAKE shows up in 7 pools here, with rates from 0.01% to 35.77% APY across 2 chains — the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
7 of these 7 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 6.23% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
All 7 pools pay a plain base rate right now — no incentive or reward APY mixed in.
6 of 7 pools carry impermanent-loss risk, meaning a two-sided position can lose value against just holding, even while it earns yield.
| Protocol | APY | 30d Mean APY | Yield mix |
|---|---|---|---|
| venus-core-pool | 0.01% | 0.01% | Base rate |
| pancakeswap-amm | 3.46% | 3.67% | Base rate |
| uniswap-v3 | 5.91% | 15.06% | 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.
