Supercharge your yield with YieldNest

Looking for some good yield opportunities?

One of the most interesting DeFi projects I’ve discovered lately is YieldNest - a next-generation liquid restaking protocol.

YieldNest merges the best DeFi strategies into unified, high-yield assets with L1 settlement assurances, all powered and secured by DeFAI.

Why use YieldNest?

Liquid Restaking Made Simple: The protocol delivers secure, risk-adjusted restaking strategies through easy-to-use, AI-powered products
Proven Track Record: YieldNest was the first to launch a liquid restaking token on BNB Chain and is a member of the Binance Most Valuable Builder program
High Security - The protocol has been audited by 4 top-tier audit firms and has its own independent risk team by Llama Risk

At the moment, ynETHx (their ETH product) has an APY of 12.5% and by entering a Curve pool, users have the possibility to earn an extra 25% on top of that.

Now, YieldNest is gearing up for the launch of its $YND token.

The stakers of YND will receive veYND, which sits at the backbone of YieldNest and can be used to participate in governance.

What’s more, YND stakers will also direct incentives & have access to boosted yields.

YND will follow a controlled emission model to achieve long-term sustainability.

The YieldNest airdrop is coming soon! You still have time to become part of it. Make sure you get it. You can read more about it here.

A dashboard for finding key buy zones for altcoins🛠️

A lot of people on CT say “buy the dip” whenever BTC drops 5%.

But how do you actually buy the dip without getting wrecked if prices keep dropping?

A chart that I monitor for finding good buy zones is the ‘Altcoins Speculation Index’.

The lower it goes, the more undervalued altcoins become relative to BTC, and the closer they generally get to a local bottom.

This index is currently at 15%, and it hit 7% just a few days ago. Historically, it’s not a bad idea to dollar-cost average altcoins when the index is between 4% and 10%.
