Top Yields

All yields shown below are the unboosted rates offered directly through Curve. However, projects such as Convex, StakeDAO and Yearn all offer boosting for these yields. All yields are calculated assuming a minimum of $100k TVL.

Top USD Yields

Note: the frxUSD/USP rate is annualised from a small launch-phase pool — hence the cap. Yields are shown as the rate a new $10k deposit would receive, so gauge rewards concentrated in a lightly staked pool are diluted accordingly.
