Best Arbitrum Yields

The cohort, in numbers

Right now we track 25 Arbitrum strategies, holding $519K in deposits. 24-hour APYs run from 0.35% to 9.99%. Median 2.77%, mean 2.72%. Numbers are scoped to our index, not the wider Arbitrum market.

Assets we cover on Arbitrum

USDC (14 vaults, top APY 9.99%), ETH (6 vaults, top APY 1.73%), USDT (3 vaults, top APY 4.51%), and BTC (2 vaults, top APY 0.64%). Stablecoins dominate the count on most chains; ETH-pegged tokens and wrapped BTC fill in the rest. Open any vault to see the exact deposit token and reward stream.

Protocol families on the leaderboard

Top families: Morpho (8), Dolomite (4), Fluid (3), Autopilot (3), and Compound V3 (3). Most rows are either a single-asset money market or an autocompounder wrapping one. Each protocol publishes the same APY upstream that we surface in the table; per-vault breakdowns live on the product detail page.

Reading the APY columns

24-hour APY: today's annualised rate. 30-day APY: trailing mean across the last month. The sparkline draws the same series at small scale so a flat line reads as stable and spikes mean volatile. Past APY does not promise future APY.

Reading the TVL column

TVL is the dollar value of deposits sitting in the vault contract. The 25 vaults on this page hold $519K between them. Higher TVL usually means the strategy has been live longer and absorbed more capital without breaking. Lower TVL is either young, niche, or a sign the APY no longer compensates for the risk.

Risk surfaces on every Arbitrum strategy

Smart-contract risk on the vault and the protocol underneath. Oracle risk on the price feeds those contracts trust. Bridge or depeg risk on the deposit token. Governance risk on every parameter operators can change. The same protocol can carry different risks on different chains. Tiers and what we leave out, on the risk framework page.

What this page is, and what it is not

A curated Arbitrum index. Not a survey of every yield source on the chain. We add strategies as we vet and integrate them; we drop them when products retire or fall outside our framework. Inclusion criteria and ranking logic are documented on the methodology page.
