How this rate has behaved
FAI shows up in 2 pools here, with rates from 3.00% to 11.65% APY across 1 chains — the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
2 of these 2 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 9.04% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
1 of 2 pools blends 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.
2 of 2 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| aerodrome-v1 | 11.65% | 10.75% | 100.00% incentives |
| uniswap-v3 | 3.00% | 7.33% | 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.
