Where Do DeFi’s High Yields Come From? Understand the Sources of Yield Before Assessing the Risks

In the Web3 world, DeFi is often associated with high yields.

Lending, liquidity mining, staking, and yield strategies offer users different ways to participate. But when you see a protocol offering a high annual percentage yield, what we really need to focus on is not just how big the number is, but where that yield comes from—and who bears the corresponding risks.

Understanding the sources of yield is an important step in deciding whether a DeFi project is worth researching further.

By the way, have you guys tried the “Money” module in the Gate App lately? I’d never really paid attention to it before, but I tried it recently and it’s a real hidden gem. It brings deposits and withdrawals, card payments, and wealth management all together. Here’s a quick rundown 👇
🌟 The best part: a fiat account in your own name (highly recommend this one!)
What’s the biggest worry when withdrawing funds? Having some corporate platform listed as the recipient, which gets the bank calling you to ask questions. Now this feature gives you an overseas virtual account in your own name, complet

It takes 1.81 million shares to push it down by a dollar, but only 520,000 shares to lift it by a dollar.
$SPCX From 148.44 to 136.85, a drop of $11.59.
That’s what doesn’t add up.

The move down took 20.95 million shares:
21:00: 3.65 million, 22:00: 8.32 million.
From 1 a.m. to 7 a.m., another 8.97 million.

The move up took ten hours, from 137.73 to 140.88, on 1.63 million shares.
One side was pushing hard, the other barely trying.
But it only reached 140.88, with the moving average at 141.22—$0.34 short of a touch.

The 136.85 low was tested once, then not again for seven candles.

Layer 2 transactions are faster and fees are lower, but who actually safeguards assets?

In the Web3 world, Layer 2 is often seen as an important solution to blockchain congestion and high transaction fees.

It helps users complete transactions at lower cost and gives more applications the opportunity to serve everyday users.

But there is an easily overlooked question:

Does Layer 2’s improved transaction efficiency mean that asset security is protected to the same degree?

The answer is not that simple.

1. Layer 1 and Layer 2 play different roles

You can think of Layer 1 as the foundationa

Colette Kress could take the helm at Nvidia. According to Semafor, some board members want to appoint the CFO as interim CEO if Jensen Huang were to be ousted.
A board meeting was scheduled overnight Wednesday to Thursday (French time) to decide the founder's future, but no decision has yet been announced. Jensen Huang has been weakened by revelations about two extramarital affairs, one of them with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. An internal investigation aims to determine whether he may have divulged company secrets.
Aged 59, Colette Kress has been Nvidia's CFO since 2013, after st

Why Can Stablecoins Peg to $1? Where Do the Risks Lie If They Depeg?

In the cryptocurrency market, many people treat stablecoins as digital versions of the U.S. dollar.

For example, USDT and USDC usually target a price of $1. Traders can use them to denominate assets, transfer funds, trade, or temporarily hold funds.

But one question is worth serious consideration:

Why can stablecoins stay close to $1? If the market suddenly loses confidence, can they remain stable?

The key to understanding stablecoins is not just their name, but the mechanisms, assets, and market confidence that support

Why Do Cross-Chain Bridges So Often Become Attack Targets? The Trust Boundaries Behind Cross-Chain Assets

In the Web3 world, different blockchains are like independently operating systems.

Assets on Ethereum cannot become native assets on another blockchain through an ordinary transfer alone. To let users move assets between different networks, use DeFi applications, or participate in other on-chain activities, cross-chain bridges have gradually become important infrastructure.

But cross-chain bridges also raise a question worth serious consideration:

When assets move from one chain to ano

Why Doesn’t a Token’s Price Rise After a Project Announces a Major Partnership?

In the cryptocurrency market, when a project announces a partnership with a well-known company, technology platform, or another blockchain project, the community is often filled with anticipation.

Some believe a partnership means user growth; others believe it can bring in more funding; and some directly conclude that the token price is about to rise.

But sometimes the market gives a completely different answer.

After the news is announced, the price briefly rises, then falls back; some projects even see their

Where Do DeFi Yields Come From? Understanding the Differences Between Liquidity Mining, Lending, and Staking

In the cryptocurrency market, you may have seen claims like these:

Providing liquidity can earn fees, lending out assets can earn interest, and staking tokens may earn rewards.

These methods are usually associated with DeFi (decentralized finance), but they are not the same mechanism. Their sources of yield differ, and the funds involved may face very different risks.

If you focus only on the yield and do not understand what the funds are actually used for, it is easy to overlook th
