Getting Started

1. Connect your wallet​

Visit yeldx.xyz and click Connect Wallet in the top right. YeldX supports:

  • MetaMask
  • Coinbase Wallet
  • WalletConnect (all mobile wallets)
  • Rainbow, Zerion, and 400+ more via WalletConnect

No account required — your wallet address is your identity.

2. Browse vaults​

The Discover tab shows all available vaults, sorted by a combination of TVL and APY.

Use the filters to narrow down:

FilterDescription
ChainFilter to a specific network (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, etc.)
Stables onlyShow only USDC, USDT, DAI, and similar stablecoin vaults
SortSort by APY, TVL, or risk score
ProtocolFilter to a specific protocol (Aave, Morpho, Compound, etc.)
tip

Use the Stables toggle + Best APY sort to find the highest-yielding stablecoin vaults instantly.

3. Understand the vault card​

Each vault shows:

  • Token symbol — the underlying asset (e.g. USDC)
  • Protocol — e.g. Aave, Morpho, Compound
  • Chain — e.g. Base, Arbitrum
  • Risk badge — Low / Medium / High / Degen
  • APY — 30-day average (not the live spike)
  • TVL — Total Value Locked
  • Incentivized badge — vault has token reward emissions on top of base yield

Expand a vault card to see:

  • Full APY breakdown (base + reward)
  • TVL chart
  • Protocol links
  • Risk score breakdown

4. Make a deposit​

Click Deposit on any vault. The deposit modal will open.

You can deposit with any token on any chain — LI.FI's Composer will:

  1. Swap your token to the required underlying asset
  2. Bridge cross-chain if needed
  3. Deposit into the vault

All in a single transaction.

5. Track your portfolio​

Switch to the Portfolio tab to see:

  • Total deposited value
  • Weighted average APY across all positions
  • Estimated annual yield
  • 12-month earnings projection chart
  • Individual position cards with earned income tracker

6. Set alerts (optional)​

Click the bell icon on any position card to set a Telegram APY-drop alert. If the vault's APY drops below your threshold, you'll receive a Telegram message automatically.

Frequently asked questions​

Do I need to bridge tokens manually?
No. The deposit flow handles swaps and bridges automatically.

What's the minimum deposit?
There is no app-level minimum. Individual vaults may have their own minimums (typically $1–$10).

Are my funds safe with YeldX?
YeldX is a non-custodial interface. Your funds go directly into the underlying DeFi protocols (Aave, Morpho, etc.). YeldX never holds your tokens.
