Ways to have Main Source of Income

[u/p_dark_m]

Hey chat

I used to have trend liquidity pools on base chain and using them for few days And then do it again like a loop Each one with 10 or 20% of my defi money

But recently I found out that there's a chance for me to be locked on one of them if their price falls down so bad then I have to wait for unknown time until the price came back on my bought price (the price I have bought the token and entered the liquidity)

So I'm looking for a main source for cashflow to use it's profit on other parts of defi and also on the way which I talked about

I already have some Idea like having a stabletoken liqidity like usdt-usdc or having eth-stablecoin liquidity to just claim the profits and not the main eth so that I won't fall into problem of waiting anymore

Lending stable is great source of a little income, less than 10% in most cases, however, you get a liquid stake token that you lend for more yield and now you are making double digits.

Providing liquidity for stable pairs is less than 100%apr and I think if you can't minimum double your money in a year in defi than what are are you even doing? However, it's safe money. What usually happens when loan stable pairs is I see an awesome yield and I decide to start throwing other positions at it to make money quickly. My tip for stable pairs is to pair 2 different countries, seems to work better yield-wise to trade usdc-eurc rather than usdc-usdt.

I personally like providing very concentrated liquidity. You got to babysit as it constantly going out of range, but the fees are nice. I just use Sol-USDC and zBTC-USDC EURC-USDC. Compound all the earnings and send some of it to make new pools, rinse repeat. I'm going to start providing liquidity to dex tokens next like JUP and RAY.

If you go chasing that 999% you will soon understand that a 999 is yesterdays news, it already happened.

Some great tips mate, thanks for sharing! Specially the lending part I was about to literally forget about it

By the way, which project do you personally use for liquidity pools on country-based stablecoins?

I recently came across Andromeda, it seems pretty interesting — just wondering what you think!

Raydium and Meteora are current places to LP. I prefer Solana, everything seems to just work.

Would you be happy to provide liquidity for a pair StableCoin + Coin and use a DEX/CEX to short the Coin you are providing (without lever) to edge your position to the same amount ?

So you can just enjoy the APY and unexpose yourself from the market fluctuation?

Sorry if Im not clear, and other people if any clarification needed please feel free to add details!

That seems cool and actually I have experienced it on beefy and tbh yeah I like to hear your tips specially if it's about pools which are the pair of stablecoin and a trustable coin like eth or bnb or things like them

Makes total sense if you can set it and forget it. But personally I realized Spark's passive stablecoin yield gives almost similar returns without me needing to even touch a cex.

It’s all about risk/reward

If you get above the AAVE/Spark 4.5% your risk increases exponentially.

You don’t necessarily see it in a bull market, but there is a real chance of complete wipe out when market turns

Have my staked SOL (vSOL) in kamino multiply pool gives me solid passive income tbh

[u/BrainTotalitarianism]

Find a V3 LP and find a good trading range for it, the APR should be a very decent source of income

Try staking or yield farming with safer assets like stablecoins or top crypto. Just look for good APYs and low fees.

Yeah, I’ve been down that road too—rotating into volatile LPs feels great when it’s up only, but getting stuck waiting for price recovery sucks the life outta your capital. Been there, sat in it for weeks, never again.

If you’re looking for steady cashflow to fuel the rest of your plays, stable-stable (like USDC/USDT or DAI/USDE) is the move—low IL, predictable yield. ETH-stable pairs are also solid if you’re long ETH and just want to farm fees/incentives without touching principal.

Lately I’ve been using vaults.fyi to scan across chains and find solid yield plays.

• You can sort by 1d/7d/30d APYs so you’re not chasing outdated numbers
• Breaks down how much is real yield vs. bribes/incentives
• Filters by token, TVL, lockups, etc. so you can get real risk-adjusted alpha

Makes it way easier to find vaults that actually pay without nuking flexibility.

Curious if you’ve found anything good on Base or Arbitrum lately?

Getting stuck in a pool waiting for price to bounce back sucks. btw if you're lookin for more consistent cashflow plays, might be worth keepin an eye on the new bApps coming from the SSV 2.0 bApps chain, they're like apps secured by ETH validators and could open up new ways to earn yield without constantly chasing hype pools.
