How this rate has behaved
OP shows up in 7 pools here, with rates from 0.06% to 44.80% APY across 1 chains — the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
6 of these 7 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 19.23% — 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.
6 of 7 pools carry impermanent-loss risk, meaning a two-sided position can lose value against just holding, even while it earns yield.

| uniswap-v3 | 44.80% | — | Base rate |
| curve-dex | 16.24% | 15.53% | 91.44% incentives |

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.
