How this rate has behaved
IQ shows up in 4 pools here, with rates from 0.18% to 221.69% APY across 2 chains — the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
4 of these 4 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 8.60% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
1 of 4 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.
4 of 4 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| frax | 7.26% | 1.76% | Base rate |
| curve-dex | 49.71% | 58.56% | 97.61% incentives |
| frax | 0.18% | 0.04% | Base rate |
| sushiswap | 221.69% | 15.45% | 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.
