Strategic Analysis

Investing in DAI via Aave V3 currently provides a return that prioritises capital preservation over aggressive growth.

Asset Class & Exposure

This pool offers exposure to stablecoin yield. Unlike volatile crypto-assets, the principal value here is designed to remain constant (1:1), making the APR a closer reflection of realised profit.

Compounding Strategy

To maximise your crypto-asset earnings on Aave V3, frequency matters. With current daily earnings of ~$0.61 (per $10k), manual reinvestment should be weighed against gas costs.

Network Context: Arbitrum

Due to the low-latency nature of the Arbitrum architecture, this pool is ideal for active yield farming strategies. Auto-compounding mechanisms function efficiently here, as the transaction costs are negligible compared to the daily yield generation.

DeFi Yield Guide

Understanding how yield is generated is critical for any DeFi investor. The returns displayed in this DAI APY Calculator differ from traditional finance in several ways.

Understanding Your Returns

The DAI APY Calculator above projects future value based on current network snapshots. In DeFi, returns are dynamic.

The magic of APY (Annual Percentage Yield) vs APR (Annual Percentage Rate) lies in compounding. By reinvesting your daily earnings of ~$0.61, you exponentially grow the principal balance.

Is this yield sustainable?

Yields on Arbitrum fluctuate based on 'Utilisation Rates'. When demand for borrowing or trading DAI is high, yields spike. When activity cools, yields compress. This tool assumes a constant rate, but active monitoring is recommended.
