Real Yield
DeFi yield aggregator with node running ROI calculator
Real Yield is a comprehensive yield aggregator that surfaces the best staking, lending, farming, and liquidity pool opportunities across all major chains and protocols. It also includes a node running comparison and ROI calculator for validators.
This feature is completely free — no credits required. Data refreshes every 15 minutes.
Yield Opportunities
The main table shows the top DeFi pools ranked by APY, sourced from thousands of pools across hundreds of protocols. Each pool displays:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Pool / Asset | Token or pair name with protocol logo |
| Protocol | The DeFi protocol (clickable link to the protocol website) |
| Chain | Which blockchain the pool is on |
| APY | Annual percentage yield (base + reward breakdown) |
| TVL | Total value locked in the pool |
| Risk | "Low" for single-asset/stablecoin pools, "IL" for impermanent loss risk on LP pairs |
| 30d | Sparkline showing 30-day APY trend |
Click any row to expand it and see a 30-day interactive APY chart. Hover over the chart to see the exact APY and TVL for each day.
Filters
Use the filter bar to narrow down opportunities:
- Search — filter by pool name, protocol, or chain
- Category — Staking, Lending, Liquidity, or Farming
- Asset Type — Stablecoin, Major (ETH/BTC/SOL), or Altcoin
- Min TVL — filter out small pools ($100K, $1M, $10M, $100M)
- Sort — by highest APY or largest TVL
Understanding Risk
Low Risk
Single-asset staking (e.g., staking ETH with a liquid staking provider) and stablecoin lending pools carry minimal risk beyond smart contract risk. Your principal stays in one asset.
IL (Impermanent Loss)
Liquidity pool pairs (e.g., WETH-USDC) are subject to impermanent loss. When the price ratio between the two tokens changes, you can end up with less value than if you held the tokens separately. High APY on LP pools may not compensate for IL during volatile markets.
Node Running
The Node Running section compares validator profitability across 8 major Proof-of-Stake chains. For each chain, it shows the minimum stake required, current staking APY, estimated monthly reward, infrastructure costs, and net monthly profit — all calculated in USD using live market prices.
| Chain | Min Stake | Approx. APY |
|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | 32 ETH | ~3.8% |
| Solana | 1 SOL | ~7.5% |
| Avalanche | 2,000 AVAX | ~8.5% |
| Cosmos | 1 ATOM | ~19% |
| Polkadot | 500 DOT | ~15% |
| Cardano | 500 ADA | ~3.5% |
| BNB Chain | 10,000 BNB | ~2.8% |
| Near | 30,000 NEAR | ~10% |
ROI Calculator
The interactive ROI Calculator lets you model validator earnings for any chain. Select a chain, enter how many tokens you want to stake, and instantly see:
- Monthly / Yearly Reward — in USD and token amounts
- Infrastructure Cost — estimated monthly server costs
- Net Monthly Profit — rewards minus costs in USD
- Net Yearly Profit — annualized with cost breakdown
All values are calculated using live token prices, refreshed every 5 minutes. A note below the results reminds you that actual returns depend on future token price movements.
