Optimizing DeFi Yields

Overview

Find and compare DeFi yield opportunities across protocols. Aggregates data from DeFiLlama and other sources to provide APY/APR comparisons, risk assessments, and optimization recommendations for yield farming strategies.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure you have:

• Python 3.8+ installed
• Internet access for API queries
• Understanding of DeFi concepts (APY, APR, TVL, impermanent loss)

Instructions

1. Search for yield opportunities across all chains or filter by a specific chain:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 20
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --top 10
   

2. Filter by criteria -- minimum TVL (for safety), asset type, or protocol:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --min-tvl 10000000 --top 15  # 10000000 = 10M limit
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --asset USDC --chain ethereum
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --protocol aave,compound,curve
   

3. Apply risk filters -- show only audited protocols or filter by risk level (--risk low, --risk medium, --risk high):

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --audited-only --min-tvl 1000000  # 1000000 = 1M limit
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --risk low --min-apy 3
   

4. Analyze specific opportunities -- get detailed pool breakdown or compare protocols:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --pool "aave-v3-usdc-ethereum" --detailed
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --compare aave,compound,spark --asset USDC
   

5. Export results to JSON or CSV for further analysis:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 50 --format json --output yields.json
   python /scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --format csv --output eth_yields.csv
