How this rate has behaved
DUSD shows up in 7 pools here, with rates from 0.03% to 25.75% APY across 3 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 7.76% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
4 of 7 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 7 pools carries 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| makina | 6.10% | 7.76% | Base rate |
| curve-dex | 12.36% | 8.99% | 99.76% incentives |
| convex-finance | 23.15% | 14.56% | 99.87% incentives |
| curve-dex | 8.27% | 6.09% | 85.74% incentives |
| defichain-dex | 0.03% | 0.58% | Base rate |
| stake-dao | 25.75% | 18.72% | 99.96% incentives |
| raydium-amm | 0.81% | 0.24% | 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.
