Yield Discovery

Scans every yield surface in DeFi. Daily.

Yield Discovery is the eye of vildX — a continuous scanner that ingests every stablecoin yield position across every chain, protocol, and curator we cover. New strategies appear in DeFi weekly; this engine finds them, decodes them, and feeds them into the rest of the system.

What it does

The capabilities this engine contributes to the vildX system.

Surface coverage

Continuously indexes Morpho V1 & V2, Aave, Pendle, Ethena, Sky, Resolv, Ondo, Curve, Convex, Yearn, Lulo, Ember, Mellow, and more — every chain we support.

Strategy decode

Classifies each position by yield mechanism — lending, RWA, LST/LRT, synthetic dollar, fixed-rate PT, LP fee, bribes — and normalises APY methodology across protocols.

Net-of-fees view

Strips out emissions, performance fees, and management fees so vildX always compares true net APY, never the headline number.

New-pool detection

Flags strategies as soon as their TVL crosses our liquidity floor — typically 24–72 hours after launch.

How it works

Step-by-step flow inside this engine — from input signals to handoff.

  1. 1Ingest pool metadata, APY history, TVL, and curator details directly from each protocol's API or subgraph.
  2. 2Normalise APY across yield mechanisms — emissions weighted, fees subtracted, lockups accounted.
  3. 3Score each surface against vildX's coverage universe and produce a daily candidate list.
  4. 4Pass the candidate list downstream to Engine 02 (Risk) for vetting before any capital moves.
