defi-yield

defi-yield is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HKUDS/Vibe-Trading. It costs 37 tokens per session (2,761 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to comparing returns from decentralised finance, or DeFi, where financial services run through blockchain-based protocols. It covers lending, liquidity pools, staking, yield farming, risk-adjusted returns, and whether a protocol’s yield can last.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare lending rates, liquidity-provider fees, staking rewards, farming incentives, restaking, and points programs, while assessing protocol health and yield sustainability.
Why use it?
Displayed DeFi yields can come from different sources and carry risks such as changing rates, token incentives, or losses in liquidity pools. This helps compare returns with their underlying risks and sustainability.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

defi-yield scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DeFi Yield Analysis & Optimization

Overview

Analyze and compare yields across DeFi protocols — lending, liquidity provision, staking, and yield farming — to identify the best risk-adjusted opportunities and assess sustainability. DeFi yields are a real-time proxy for crypto market leverage demand, capital allocation, and protocol health.

Core Concepts

1. DeFi Yield Sources

Yield Source Mechanism Typical APY Range Risk Level
Lending (supply) Earn interest from borrowers 1-15% (stablecoins 3-8%) Low-medium
Borrowing cost Interest paid by borrowers 3-20% N/A (cost side)
LP fees (AMM) Trading fee share from DEX 5-50% (varies by pair) Medium-high
Staking Validator/delegation rewards 3-15% Low-medium
Liquidity mining Protocol token incentives 10-500% (unsustainable) High
Restaking Re-hypothecated staking yield 5-20% (ETH + AVS rewards) Medium-high
Points farming Off-chain points → future airdrop Unknown (speculative) Very high

2. Lending Rate Analysis

Lending rates as market signal:

# High borrow rates = high leverage demand = bullish sentiment
# Low borrow rates = low leverage demand = bearish / waiting

def lending_rate_signal(borrow_rate_stable, borrow_rate_eth):
    """Analyze DeFi lending rates for market sentiment."""
    if borrow_rate_stable > 15:
        stable_signal = "extreme_demand"    # Leveraged long via stablecoin borrowing
    elif borrow_rate_stable > 8:
        stable_signal = "elevated_demand"
    elif borrow_rate_stable > 3:
        stable_signal = "normal"
    else:
        stable_signal = "low_demand"        # Bear market, no one borrowing

    if borrow_rate_eth > 10:
        eth_signal = "extreme_demand"       # Shorting or leveraged strategies
    elif borrow_rate_eth > 5:
        eth_signal = "elevated"
    else:
        eth_signal = "low_demand"

    return stable_signal, eth_signal

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
