Who's still holding Ethereum?
Here's some yield information for those who have held on.
🚨Top 5 Ethereum Yields at Year-End🚨
1) Veteran @aave
Ethereum (14.23x Leverage):
weETH: 15% Annualized Yield
wstETH: 10% Annualized Yield
Plasma's yields are occasionally higher, but in terms of net annualized yield and liquidity, the Ethereum mainnet still currently wins.
2) @Morpho
Morpho cycles are especially effective when @merkl_xyz provides incentives (e.g., @monad), but for now, regular cycles on the mainnet remain the best option.
Ethereum:
weETH (14x): 17.7%
wstETH (20x): 19.41%
On Mondays, you can borrow AUSD to earn yield on wstETH, allowing you to implement leveraged long and short strategies as needed.
3) Relatively low-key, @KelpDAO's hgETH
It's considered low-key because Kelp hasn't been in the public eye for a while.
However, the hgETH vault has averaged around 10% yield over the past three months and over 8% in the past seven days.
It has a fairly sophisticated underlying strategy (primarily circulating wstETH, tETH, and rsETH across different chains like Aave and Morpho), but it also interestingly utilizes off-exchange lending to increase exposure.
4) Similarly, @ipor_io's wstETH vault
I explained this last night, but basically it's a leveraged wstETH loop, which I call lending aggregation.
It borrows from the place with the best interest rates and swaps debt when appropriate. Therefore, the leverage ratio doesn't constantly change, but the money market for borrowing adjusts according to interest rates.
This is a pretty good strategy. And you also earn Fusion credits.
5) @monad Incentivizes @Uniswap LP
It's that simple.
wstETH/WETH: Average 9.67%
Bonus Reward: @GearboxProtocol
➢ ETH+: 29%
➢ ETH+/WETH LP: 25%
➢ PT DETH: 15%
In fact, there are tens of millions of dollars available for lending in the market on @makinafi.
Thanks to @deepcryptodive for the reminder.

Week four of the @arbitrum DRIP incentive program has concluded. Here are the highlights:
1. Overall Ecosystem Highlights:
• Total market capitalization of yield-earning USD-eligible assets reached a new high of $497 million (up $67 million / 16% month-over-month)
• Despite the launch of Plasma, Arbitrum's lending DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) grew by ~5% month-over-month to a new high of $1.8 billion
• USDC borrowing volume on Arbitrum's lending market grew by 10% month-over-month to $542 million
• DEX liquidity for USD-eligible assets grew by $12 million to $96 million (up 15% month-over-month)
• Total protocol fees grew month-over-month:
- @0xFluid grew by 22% month-over-month (up 84% month-over-month)
- @eulerfinance grew by 23% month-over-month (up 167.5% month-over-month)
- @SiloFinance: 36% (up 20% month-over-month)
2. Protocol Highlights:
• @MorphoLabs: Market size reached a new high of $300 million. Growth was primarily driven by USDC lending.
• Euler: Market size reached a new high of $177 million (up 65% month-over-month). USDC market size (and lending) and PT-USDai supply were the primary contributors to this week's growth.
• Silo: Recycling market size reached a new high of $100 million (up 8% month-over-month). Silo continues to show strong signs of USDC and WETH circulation, across rsETH/weETH/PT-sUSDai deposits and USDC/WETH lending.
3. Asset Highlights:
• thBILL currently has the largest market capitalization of all eligible USD assets at $82 million, followed by USDai at $69 million and syrupUSDC at $60 million. • While $250M USDai has been minted on Plasma, 67% of it has flowed back to Arbitrum.

Giza, a DeFi platform, launched two major products last week:
On Monday, it launched Swarms, an incentivized validation layer. On Wednesday, it launched Pulse, an autonomous agent in partnership with Pendle Finance, with its $3 million cap sold out in just three hours.
Learn everything you need to know in 5 minutes 👇
~~Analysis by @davewardonline~~
How Giza Works
@gizatechxyz is a decentralized network that deploys autonomous agents to generate high yields. It transforms passive deposits into active capital, with AI agents proactively seeking the best returns.
Giza's flagship agent, ARMA, offers a 15% yield on USDC, exceeding standard DeFi yields. With $20 million in proxy assets and a 20% deposit rate, users are reinvesting their returns, demonstrating their satisfaction.
The network operates through three core layers:
➢ Semantic Layer - Converts DeFi protocol operations into agent-readable data for evaluating investment opportunities.
➢ Smart Authorization Layer—Serves as an autonomous custodial hub for deposits, interactions, and token authorization.
➢ Decentralized Execution Layer—Executes user instructions, enabling agents to implement strategies on-chain.
The new Swarms layer verifies advertised yields through live testing, ensuring agents deliver verified results.
The $GIZA token derives value through protocol fees, token buyback funding, liquidity growth, and pool development. The network is open to developers, allowing anyone to launch an agent.
Pulse Launches: Fixed Yield Simplified
Pulse launched on Wednesday in partnership with @pendle_fi, targeting Principal Token (PT) portfolios, offering fixed-yield exposure. Pendle divides assets into PT (guaranteed principal at maturity) and Yield Tokens (yields). Pulse simplifies this process by managing expiration dates, rebalancing, and optimizing allocations.
Pulse launched an ETH-PT market on Arbitrum, offering a 13% annualized interest rate and reaching its $3 million cap within three hours. Giza has expanded its partnerships through @KelpDAO to include assets like PT-rsETH. It plans to expand to more blockchains and increase capacity.
Pulse addresses DeFi pain points such as user churn and complexity, potentially simplifying other protocols and expanding DeFi adoption.
Swarms: Ensuring Honest Yields
Swarms launched last Monday to address the issue of unverified DeFi yield claims. It introduces a standardized annual percentage rate (sAPR) through proxy testing to ensure accurate yield metrics. The protocol publishes an incentive scheme, proxies test their performance, and the sAPR reflects verified results (for example, an 8% base yield plus a 5% reward equals a 13% sAPR).
This helps the protocol receive measurable inflows, providing users with competitive yields and enabling efficient capital allocation. Swarms also creates a revenue stream, as protocols pay to access Giza proxies and support $GIZA holders through buybacks and fund growth.
Swarms acts as quality control for DeFi, prioritizing proven performance over promises.
Future Outlook
Giza's vision is to create a suite of intelligent agents optimized for specific areas. Pulse and Swarms, which enable higher returns with less investment, demonstrate the potential of DeFi when AI-powered agents streamline operations. Pulse's rapid sales demonstrate user enthusiasm, and as Giza's capacity continues to expand, DeFAI is also growing.
