How this rate has behaved
YCRV shows up in 5 pools here, with rates from 11.08% to 22.89% APY across 1 chains — the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
5 of these 5 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 14.60% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
2 of 5 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.
4 of 5 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| yearn-finance | 11.81% | 14.60% | Base rate |
| curve-dex | 11.08% | 8.91% | 83.67% incentives |
| yearn-finance | 16.55% | 14.76% | Base rate |
| convex-finance | 18.09% | 15.58% | 90.00% incentives |
| stake-dao | 22.89% | 14.45% | 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.
