How Yield.ly reaches an answer instead of asking you to trust a black box.
Last updated 2026-08-25
Yield.ly is a free, accountless crypto yield intelligence dashboard. It compares qualified opportunities by return composition, liquidity, freshness, and observed risk so you can research destinations without connecting a wallet.
Upstream source

Yield.ly discovery
Dashboard, detail views, and research pages
Yield.ly shows total APY with separate base and reward components when the source supports that distinction. APR is labeled explicitly when provided. Unknown conventions are not silently converted. See definitions for APY, base APY, and reward APY.
Qualification controls default discovery visibility. Opportunities must pass identity, lineage, freshness, liquidity, history, and related checks. Qualification methodology
Qualified does not mean safe, recommended, guaranteed, or suitable for a particular user.
Observed risk summarizes evidence across multiple dimensions. It is not a safety rating. Observed risk methodology
A page rendered five minutes ago does not mean the underlying source observation is five minutes old.
When an upstream provider fails, Yield.ly preserves the latest accepted valid dataset rather than replacing values with zeros or unverified data.
Sponsors cannot purchase qualification, risk treatment, APY, TVL, organic ranking, or chart position.
Affiliate relationships do not change qualification, observed risk, APY, TVL, or organic ranking.
