Resolve common questions before you execute on-chain.
Why do APYs differ between protocols?+
Each protocol has unique revenue streams—trading fees, borrowing demand, token emissions—and costs. Network congestion and user growth also affect net yields.
Can I lose principal in DeFi?+
Yes. Smart contract exploits, de-pegged assets, impermanent loss, and liquidations can reduce principal. Manage risk via diversification and position sizing.
Which protocol is the safest?+
No single protocol is safest for everyone. Review audits, incident history, token distribution, governance, and TVL. Use the Safe Yields Safety Score as a baseline.
How much gas will I pay?+
Gas costs depend on chain and congestion. Check the Safe Yields Gas Calculator before executing transactions to estimate fees.
Do I need a hardware wallet?+
Hardware wallets are strongly recommended for significant balances or frequent activity. They reduce signing risk compared to browser-only wallets.
How often is Learn content updated?+
We review Learn content monthly and whenever new protocols or risks emerge. Send requests through the feedback form.
