0.000 HBDA brief look at some of the staking and pooling returns on Polygon...
I like to keep up with DEFI options outside of Hive, and I have a softspot for the Polygon network given the ETH base and cheap fees. It's beena while since I checked out what's on offer, and the results are... reasonable, without being outstanding (compared to Hive!) The overall picture is that according to DefiLlama [Polygon](https://defillama.com/chain/Polygon) has around $850 million locked making it the sixth in terms of TVL, after ETH, BSC, Arbitrum, Solana and Optimism. (We disclude Tron because it's one giant exit scam). #### Selected returns on some of the better known vault and aggregator platforms... [Aave](https://app.aave.com/markets/?marketName=proto_polygon_v3) has the following options: - USDCe AT 5% - Wrapped BTC at 0.2% -- [Balancer](https://app.balancer.fi/#/polygon) has a much wider range of options: - A 4 way stable pool at 0.8% - WBTC-WET at 0.3% - WBTC-WETH-USDC at 1.82% - And a range of recogniseable token pools at around 5% It also has some CRAZY, almost certainly unsustainable options...  -- [Beefy Finance](https://app.beefy.com/) appears to have some good options with... - A couple of stablecoin vaults at around the 8% mark. - What seems to be 6 token pool incorporating BTC-ETH and stable coins, at >40% APY, but this seems to be too good to be true.  -- [PolyCub](https://polycub.com/kingdoms) actually comes out the best, but with only TWO options... - the stable tri pool at 6% - WBTC-ETH-USD at 20%  ### DEFI Options on Polygon final thoughts... While the chain isn't dead with almost $1BN locked, it is falling behind, so I'd be reluctant to stake thousands of dollars worth of crypto to it, my fave choice would be Polycub as I know it but with only 5 figures pooled in each of the only two options, that's not particularly attractive either! I think I'll stick with Hive, and Thorchain!
