YieldCompass

0/ Today, there are more ways than ever to earn yield on Solana, but also new risk vectors that are unique to DeFi. Yet there's still no objective way to evaluate them. We're changing that. Introducing YieldCompass, a standardized framework for risk & returns on Solana. ⛩️

This is the final post in this thread.

25+ strategies already live in the Risk × Yield Map. More strategies will be added progressively until coverage spans all of Solana DeFi. This represents another step toward our mission of helping users make more informed capital allocation decisions on Solana DeFi. Feedback from users, allocators, and protocols is welcome to improve the framework. For more, read the docs and disclaimers: docs.yieldcompass.fi docs.yieldcompass.fi/legal

Introducing the Risk × Yield Map. Risk and Return are the two variables that matter in DeFi, but are difficult to evaluate together. Yield data is fragmented. Risk assessment remains qualitative. The trade-off every allocator makes is hard to visualize. We're changing that. ↓

The next big Solana project has to start somewhere Participants of a hackathon like @colosseum is a great place to look Over the past few days, I’ve been monitoring every project that’s publicly mentioned they’re participating Here’s who I’m watching: @aigntfun Evolving Personal Trading Agents @anon0mesh P2P Payments via Bluetooth @backyard_fi Yield Manager @basedbidx Token Launch Infrastructure @bento_guard Encrypted Security for Agents @blinks_gg A Live Canvas to Compose Trading Strategies @bughyve Decentralized Product Testing @BundieDefi Agent Curated Prediction Market for DeFi Rates @cashflow_fi Personal Finance @cesto_co Invest in Baskets of Assets @chatpaydotone AI Sales and eCommerce @cleopetrafun Tokenized Index Backed by Prediction Positions @dumdotfun Launchpad and Prediction Market @FabriqTrade Liquidity Provision Platform @fraudsworth Market Intelligence Liquidity Fun @heirloom_app Inheritance Protocol @JigglypuffKing_ Market Intelligence for TCG Collectors @JurassicFi Tokenized Dinosaurs @LevXtrade Price Path for Prediction Markets @looftapay Payment Platform @MentionedMarket Mention Prediction Markets @MimicMarkets Social Prediction Markets @notdotmarket Premarkets for Internet Capital Markets @opsonchain VWAP Execution Layer @ordrtrade Orderbook for Internet Capital Markets @pactnetwork_io Chargebacks for AI Agents @playtokendraft Tournaments to Wager SOL @PotBot_sol Group Trading Vaults @retakedottv AI Livestreaming @ridemarkets Conviction Markets @RootLens_sol Data for Robotics Training @seedless_wallet Privacy Wallet @session_money Autonomous Agent Trading for Prediction Markets @stealf_finance Neobank @subly_fi Privacy Protocol for Agents @SwivOfficial Precision Market @SyndicateGameHQ Mafia-Style Game @tntxdotai Social Gaming Layer @TradeLeagueHQ Prediction Market for Traders @usebido Ads for Agents @VANE_defi Solana Portfolio Terminal @velapayio Payment Protocol @voicehavefun Opinion Markets @winnr_trade Information Markets @yesno_market Mobile-First Prediction Markets @yieldbayfi Yield Aggregator @yieldcompass Ratings for DeFi Yield @YosokuSolana Leverage x Prediction Markets @Zela_payment Onchain Banking Gateway Who have I missed?

@web3cpo @FabianoSolana thank you very much 🙏

@FabianoSolana This guys are building cool product to track real yield and other analytics by yield products @yieldcompass

people are literally building tools like this one to fake pnls for HL, Polymarket, etc. remember half of what you see on this app is fake

Good morning everyone ☕ , Many hacks are currently underway, and millions ( even billions ) are being drained One tool that might help give you more confidence when conducting thorough research is @yieldcompass They have developed a Risk Rating model for all DeFi opportunities within Solana And nothing is left to chance, just look at features like ⤵︎ ⊳ Track realized APY ⊳ Risk analysis ⊳ Strategic analysis ⊳ Technical analysis ⊳ Counterparty ✎ Each DeFi strategy also comes with a comprehensive report featuring a full analysis A tool I'm definitely adding to my list and will be using more often Props to the team!

@DStyleC @DriftProtocol @uselulo @DeFiCarrot @reflectmoney 🙏💪

@DriftProtocol @uselulo @DeFiCarrot @reflectmoney Also, if you still want to do some DeFi stuff I would recommend using @yieldcompass before choosing where to deposit funds.

A couple weeks after the @DriftProtocol shit show and I'm now at a point I actually never thought I would be. Been using DeFi for years, got absolutly wrecked once with Anchor but I said to myself, it was part of the learning journey and kept going with what I had left

@dahviemaxi Thank you very much. All feedback are welcome to help improve our risk methodology.

Took a look at @yieldcompass Solid product with plenty of room to level up. I genuinely think it can become the ultimate DeFi yield search engine on Solana. The risk ratings are the absolute standout feature for me

@by_olesia @colosseum @Lid_onchain @stealf_finance @backyard_fi @looftapay @cacao_cash @pactnetwork_io check out @yieldcompass - the moody's of Solana DeFi

pt. 2 | cool apps hacking on @colosseum frontier: > @lid_onchain - stablecoin payouts 4 creators > @stealf_finance - banking infra > @backyard_fi - self-curated stablecoin yield > @looftapay - private payments > @cacao_cash - qr payments in latam > @pactnetwork_io - chargebacks for agentic payments

@Rougaille2afhm @kashdhanda @SolanaFndn 💪

@kashdhanda @SolanaFndn That's exactly what @yieldcompass is doing!

defi needs a ratings agency to evaluate protocols across code security, opsec, and infrastructure. to maximize legitimacy and distribution, this could be led by the Foundations. they have an explicit mandate to support public goods. i reckon @SolanaFndn is already doing something in this direction, but the best version probably is a collaboration with @ethereumfndn and other major ecosystems so that users have a consistent experience across all of defi. the alternative would be the data providers (e.g. @MessariCrypto, @Blockworks, @DefiLlama). but they have paid service lines that might create the appearance of conflict of interest. to be clear, a ratings agency approach will create new problems - startups may have a harder time meeting requirements, costs to get evaluated will be an obstacle, there will be accusations of cronyism, etc. but given the #1 problem we face is lack of trust in defi, those might be acceptable tradeoffs. thoughts?

Appreciate the mention 🙏 YieldCompass is a neutral risk assessment layer where every Solana DeFi builde can work together to make @solana a more transparent place for DeFi users. Feedbacks are more than welcome to improve the risk assessment framework. Let's build it together. Docs: docs.yieldcompass.fi/risk-assessment

@kashdhanda @SolanaFndn you have @yieldcompass which is very good

@afscott @kashdhanda @SolanaFndn Feedback are welcome to make YieldCompass the default risk and return layer of Solana. This is a public good every DeFi user need.

@kashdhanda @SolanaFndn At least one hackathon team trying to build it @yieldcompass

YieldCompass is live on @legendsdotfun. We are the ultimate search engine for yield opportunities on Solana with transparent risk ratings & realized APY tracking. Take a look and upvote us below. legends.fun/products/3b8b7…

@tradetheflow_ 💪

If you are using a search engine for yield opportunities that doesn’t track APY in-house and doesn’t have a transparent, in-depth risk assessment for every yield strategy, you are doing it wrong. DeFi needs to do better, and for that we need to be willing to go the extra mile to provide users with quality and transparent data. Relying on protocols to give you APY is not enough. So if you care about the growth of DeFi, you should support protocols doing the extra mile. @yieldcompass is one of those, btw.

@tradetheflow_ @YouKnowEno @colosseum realized APY tracking + transparent risk assessment is a big missing piece in Solana DeFi today.

@YouKnowEno @colosseum here is what I am building: @yieldcompass - a search engine for yield opportunities on solana that shows what you actually earn (realized APY instead of APY displayed on websites) and how risky it is (transparent risk ratings). x.com/yieldcompass/s…

dozens of teams have shared their work for their @colosseum FRONTIER hackathon on the timeline, in the dm’s, and in 1:1 calls SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT
