Together with Saga

Put your stablecoins to work with Saga

If you’re looking for high DeFi yields, check this out.

Saga is building a Multichain DeFi ecosystem designed to provide some of the best yields in DeFi and unlock a new level of capital efficiency.

Currently, the APR of the LP pools on Saga is as high as 140%.

To get started and capitalise on this, bridge your assets to Saga using Squid Router.

There are many yield opportunities you can choose from after that. A few examples:

Deposit USDC to coltstable.com and mint Saga’s native $D stablecoin against it

You can then deploy $D into high-yield LP pools, such as the D-USDC Uniswap pool that is currently generating 80% APR on stables at the time of writing!

Deposit tBTC/WETH collateral on must.finance and borrow stablecoins against it

As I also described above, you can then use these funds in LP pools. The best LP pools on Saga in terms of APR can be found on sagayield.com.

Whether you hold bluechip assets like BTC, ETH, or you hold stablecoins, there are some amazing APRs you can get on your capital by bridging to Saga.

The yields you can get there significantly outperform traditional DeFi platforms.

🛠️How to find popular tokenless projects with Kaito

A lot of people know Kaito only for its InfoFi stuff.

But it also has a few interesting features that I believe are pretty useful for seeing what is trending on CT and also finding potentially good airdrop opportunities.

The one I use the most is called “Pre-TGE Mindshare Arena”.

Here’s how to access it:

Go to https://yaps.kaito.ai/pre-tge
Select a 30d or 3M time interval (in the right corner)
Here you’ll see the top 20 tokenless crypto projects by CT mindshare in the time interval that you have selected
Research the projects on this page, and then click on Top21-Top50 (to see the top 50 projects by mindshare), and then eventually on Top51-Top100

Why is this tool useful?

Because, by using it, you can identify which tokenless projects have a very active CT community. Historically, the best airdrops come from this type of projects that get a lot of attention and have a loyal user base pre-TGE.

(think about Arbitrum, Hyperliquid, Pudgy Penguins, which all did massive airdrops and had a very big community even before launching a token)

Kaito’s Pre-TGE Mindshare Arena makes it easy to find trending pre-TGE projects.
