How this rate has behaved
ETH shows up in 8 pools here, with rates from 0.09% to 4.87% APY across 2 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 1.75% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
All 8 pools pay a plain base rate right now — no incentive or reward APY mixed in.
1 of 8 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| stakewise-v3 | 2.39% | 2.28% | Base rate |
| fluid-lending | 1.87% | 1.76% | Base rate |
| curve-dex | 1.18% | 1.25% | Base rate |
| fluid-dex | 0.09% | 0.28% | Base rate |
| fluid-lending | 1.87% | 1.76% | Base rate |
| spark-savings | 1.70% | 1.73% | Base rate |

| gmx-v2-perps | 4.87% | 11.55% | 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.
