🧑🌾 @IOTA DeFi Yield Farming Guide – Made Simple
Looking to earn yield with your $IOTA? Here’s how to get started with two active Pools on Pools DEX 👇
1️⃣ IOTA / stIOTA – ~30% APY
Stake half your IOTA into stIOTA on Swirl LST
Go to the Pools DEX farm and deposit into the IOTA/stIOTA pool
You’ll earn ~37% farming yield + ~15% staking yield from stIOTA (on your half position)
✅ Total yield in IOTA terms ≈ 42% APY
Easy and beginner-friendly!
2️⃣ stIOTA / VUSD – ~180% APY
Stake all your IOTA to stIOTA
Deposit 2/3 of your stIOTA into Virtue CDP as collateral to borrow $VUSD (200% collateral, 6% interest)
Pair the borrowed VUSD with your remaining 1/3 stIOTA and provide LP on Pools DEX
Example:
With $3K worth of stIOTA:
→ $2K goes into Virtue → borrow $1K VUSD
→ Combine $1K VUSD + $1K stIOTA → create $2K LP
Base staking yield: ~15% on stIOTA
LP farming yield: ~180% on 2/3 of your capital
✅ Net APY in IOTA terms ≈ 135%, accounting for 2% borrowing cost and minor IL
🌾 Happy Farming!
