How this rate has behaved
ESP shows up in 3 pools here, with rates from 1.61% to 14.57% APY across 2 chains — the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
3 of these 3 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 5.71% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
All 3 pools pay a plain base rate right now — no incentive or reward APY mixed in.
3 of 3 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| uniswap-v3 | 3.22% | 5.71% | Base rate |
| uniswap-v4 | 14.57% | 33.23% | Base rate |
| curve-dex | 1.61% | 1.58% | 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.
