I tracked the whales and found something:
While everyone screams for pumps,
Whales are quietly printing insane yields.
I dug through their playbook and found a play nobody talks about đ§”đ
As always, whales are showing how itâs done.
Now, many of them are quietly moving their capital into farming â a smart move.
As people rush into altcoins, pools are thinning out.
Fewer participants in the pools = higher yields.
I also follow alts, but no matter how bullish things look, a part of your portfolio should quietly farm risk-off yield, and whales know it.
Right now, one of the most efficient places to do that is @etherlink
Here's how I'm using it: đ
Apple Farm is Etherlinkâs $3M incentive program.
âą 19 strategies live right now
âą Rewards paid in applstXTZ (a staked token that yields while it vests)
âą Partnered with top protocols like @CurveFinance, @GearboxProtocol, @Uniswap and more.
Letâs talk about one of the most active strategies.

The USDC vault on Gearbox is gaining real traction.
âą Curated by @Re7Labs
âą Deployed on @etherlink
âą APR currently at ~27%, peaked at 30%+
âą $8M+ supplied
Vault fills up fast and for good reason.
Hereâs how the yield breaks down:
~3% organic from lending $USDC
~25% boosted via applstXTZ incentives
Rewards vest over 6 months but yield ~8.5% while vesting
You can even borrow against LPs and loop positions, like mRE7/USDC on Curve.
The current Gearbox vault is active from Oct 2âOct 9, with a total of 35,000 applstXTZ allocated.
The sooner you get in, the better the APR. Vaults are dynamic and fill up fast.
Hereâs how to join (and earn a bit more via referral boost): đ

Step-by-step guide:
âą Go to:
âą Connect your wallet
âą Find the Gearbox $USDC strategy here:

âïž ~25% in applstXTZ (incentives from Apple Farm)

This setup offers one of the best risk/reward profiles in the market right now:
âą No exposure to volatile tokens
âą Real protocol usage (not just TVL games)
âą Sustainable incentives
âą Seamless UX between Etherlink and Gearbox
If youâve been looking for solid stablecoin yields that arenât just temporary hype, this is it.
Apple Farm on @etherlink is where DeFi gets real again.
Iâm already farming it. Do your own research, but donât wait too long.
