DeFi Lending Protocols
Earning Passive Yield in DeFi
Yield farming and staking enable crypto holders to earn returns on idle assets. Rather than simply holding tokens, you can put them to work earning rewards, transaction fees, and governance rights through various DeFi protocols.
🔒
Staking
Lock tokens to support network security and earn predictable rewards. Lower risk, steady returns.
🌾
Yield Farming
Provide liquidity to earn trading fees plus token rewards. Higher returns but greater complexity.
How Returns Are Generated
✓
Staking Rewards: New tokens issued as inflation to validators/stakers
✓
Trading Fees: Portion of swap fees paid to liquidity providers
✓
Token Incentives: Protocols distribute governance tokens to bootstrap liquidity
✓
Lending Interest: Borrowers pay interest that flows to lenders
💡
APY vs APR
APY (Annual Percentage Yield) includes compounding effects—your rewards earn rewards. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is simple interest without compounding. APY is always higher when rewards are reinvested.
