Tindorr's 1-and-0 DeFi Yield #1
Tindorr's 1-and-0 DeFi Yield #1
Not 0-to-1. But these are the easiest and simplest places to earn yields in DeFi.
After months of consideration, I’ve decided to release my first episode of this newsletter.
What is the 1-and-0 DeFi Yield?
It’s the newsletter to give you access to good DeFi yields, handpicked by Tindorr.
$0. Always free to get this newsletter.
1% of Energy Required: For deploying capital. (Because I’m lazy, and I know you are too.)
1-Click Strategies: No-brainer options to provide liquidity
$1 Gas Fee Limit: I hate wasting a lot of my rewards on gas fees. Most of my strategies will be on L2.
10% APY Minimum: Why get less than 10% if T-Bills is offering you 5%?
100% Initial Liquidity Protection: However, there is always a chance of exploit in DeFi.
NOT 0-to-1 DeFi Knowledge: Experts are also using these DeFi strategies to earn yield.
I believe that yield farming on your stables and ETH is the way to accumulate wealth.
If you’re still with me, welcome to the first Tindorr’s episode!
Start With Initial Capital: USDC and ETH
I’m starting this portfolio with $10,000 USDC and 10 ETH.
And I’ll deploy 10% of my capital (USDC or ETH) per strategy: $1,000 USDC or 1 ETH per strategy.
If you have more or less capital than mine, feel free to adjust the scale as you wish.
The main goal is to make everything very easy to follow. So you can start your yield farming journey without heavy thinking.
Arbitrum Season is the Destination: Deploying 20% of Total Capital
1. Stella: 17.58% APY on ETH and 10.68% APR on USDC.e
Lend 1 ETH and 1,000 USDC on Stella
Hyper lending pools are giving away ARB. It’s no-brainer deal.
Liquidity will be used for the leveraged strategies on the platform. But the liquidity you lend is protected and receives yields shared by leverage users.

2. Stella: 34.31% APY on Leverage wstETH Penpie x Pendle Pool
Supply 1 ETH on this strategy and select leverage 9.5x to get 34.31% APY
If you think the Pendle PT token will work perfectly in the near future, the risk of liquidation is relatively low as the price of PT wstETH will move towards wstETH price.
This strategy gets a lot of demand; it currently hits 100% capacity, but the Stella team will increase the capacity soon.
After you open the position, set the reminder to close the position in the next 29 days as it has a 30-day maturity period.

My Position Reference
3. Timeswap: 24.28% APY on USDC.e
Supply 1,000 USDC.e on this pool
Timeswap is doing the pre-mine TIME token event. I think it's a good opportunity, as the team is solid and has been building since I started exploring the Arbitrum ecosystem.
They calculate the token price the same as their investing round; the APY number looks legit.
After lending, set a reminder to withdraw in the next 25 days, as the pool will reach maturity.

What to Expect in the Next Episode
DeFi Yield Spreadsheet that I should have launched in this episode lmao. I encourage everyone to keep track of their performance seriously (low effort, though).
I will provide the template with calculation that everyone can easily follow
More strategies and protocols on Arbitrum are deploying ARB STIP rewards.
Update on the performance of current strategies (2 ETH and 2,000 USDC in total)
Regarding my wallet address, I will start to work on managing all my plays into one wallet address. I currently use multiple addresses across protocols and don’t have time to migrate everything.

Disclaimer:
This is the NFA, and you always need to do your own research.
Even though I’ve done due diligence on these protocols, it doesn’t mean there is a 0% chance of getting exploited.
Anything can happen; hence, you need to make sure you can survive if the protocols you’re using get exploited. Invest only what you can lose.
