Protocol deep-dives, rate analysis, and honest takes on what's actually happening in on-chain lending, from the team building Yieldgeko.
When you split USDC across Aave on Base and Compound on Arbitrum, your blended rate is the weighted average of both positions, not a simple mean. Here's why that math matters, and when it works in your favour.
Most yield aggregators take custody of your funds. We chose a harder path: Safe smart accounts, ERC-4337 account abstraction, and a paymaster that sponsors gas. You keep your keys while we remove friction.
We pulled six months of hourly APY snapshots from Aave V3 and Compound V3 on both chains. The results are less obvious than you'd expect. Utilisation rates, liquidity depth, and protocol incentives each play a role.
The biggest drop-off in DeFi onboarding isn't wallet creation or KYC. It's the moment a new user sees they need ETH to pay gas before they've earned a cent. Pimlico's ERC-4337 paymaster solves this cleanly.
