What is the Reliability Score for USDS?

The Reliability Score is 8.4/10. This is calculated based on the 30-day standard deviation of the APY, where a higher score indicates a more stable and predictable return.

What does a high Standard Deviation imply for ?

A high standard deviation (currently ±0.82%) suggests that the yield fluctuates significantly. While this can offer high upside, it also increases the risk of returns dropping below expected levels.

Executive Summary

Following a comprehensive Sky Protocol analysis, this pool shows exceptional stability patterns. participants should weigh this against the current APY of 4.50%.

Deep Dive Analytics

A granular review of the last month highlights a fluctuation range of 1.75%. Understanding this variance is key: the APY has oscillated between a floor of 4.50% and a ceiling of 6.25%.

Regarding momentum, USDS is currently underperforming the 30-day baseline by 0.58%. Significant deviations often signal a shift in token emissions or total value locked (TVL).

Situated on Ethereum, this pool requires careful gas management. Due to higher network costs, participants should calculate optimal compounding intervals, likely favouring a weekly schedule. Furthermore, with an Efficiency Ratio of 6.16, this asset class offers a favourable risk-to-reward profile for the Ethereum ecosystem.

Interpreting the Stability Metrics

Yield stability is often overlooked in favour of headline rates. However, a pool with huge fluctuations (High Standard Deviation) can result in lower actualised returns than a stable, lower-rate pool due to compounding inefficiencies. Our Efficiency Ratio of 6.16 quantifies this relationship.

Decoding the Score

The 0-10 Reliability Score acts as a quick-reference gauge. A score above 8 signifies that has maintained steady emissions. A score below 5 warns that the APY is erratic, requiring active daily management.
