# Optimizing DeFi Yields

## Overview

Find and compare DeFi yield opportunities across protocols. Aggregates data from DeFiLlama and other sources to provide APY/APR comparisons, risk assessments, and optimization recommendations for yield farming strategies.

## Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure you have:

- Python 3.8+ installed
- Internet access for API queries
- Understanding of DeFi concepts (APY, APR, TVL, impermanent loss)

## Instructions

### Step 1: Search for Yield Opportunities

Find top yields across all chains:

```bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 20
```

Filter by specific chain:

```bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --top 10
```

### Step 2: Filter by Criteria

Filter by minimum TVL (for safety):

```bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --min-tvl 10000000 --top 15
```

Filter by asset type:

```bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --asset USDC --chain ethereum
```

Filter by protocol:

```bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --protocol aave,compound,curve
```

### Step 3: Apply Risk Filters

Show only audited protocols:

```bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --audited-only --min-tvl 1000000
```

Filter by risk level:

| Level | Flag | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| Low | `--risk low` | Blue-chip, battle-tested protocols |
| Medium | `--risk medium` | Established protocols, moderate risk |
| High | `--risk high` | Newer protocols, higher yields |

```bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --risk low --min-apy 3
```

### Step 4: Analyze Specific Opportunities

Get detailed breakdown for a pool:

```bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --pool "aave-v3-usdc-ethereum" --detailed
```

Compare specific protocols:

```bash
python {baseDir}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --compare aave,compound,spark --asset USDC
```

### Step 5: Export Results

Export to JSON for further analysis:

```bash
python {baseDir}/sc
