Realized yield, not headline yield

See what DeFi pools actually paid.

YieldCompass ranks Solana stablecoin yield by what pools really earned, scores their risk with cited sources, and offers a fixed-term vault with a target rate backed by a first-loss buffer.

Devnet prototype. Unaudited. Target rate, not guaranteed.

The Gap

Headline APY often includes bonus tokens.

Protocols market peak headline APYs inflated by speculative governance tokens. YieldCompass tracks what pools actually earned in real USDC value.

S

Save (Solend)

Mostly bonus tokens

Headline rate is boosted by SLND reward token distributions that experienced heavy price volatility.

How It Works

From raw pool telemetry to risk-gated vaults.

A deterministic pipeline that separates real economic yield from protocol noise and enforces safety parameters before capital moves.

Step 1: Truth
1. Measure Realized APYIsolate organic fee yield from volatile bonus tokens
Step 2: Analysis
2. Deterministic Risk Score0-100 score across 7 audited factors with cited sources
Step 3: Protection
3. Risk Gate & VaultFunds deploy only if score is high and fresh; first-loss buffer protects senior

1. Measure Realized Yield

We sample on-chain pool reserve states continuously. Realized APY measures what depositors actually received in stable value over 7 and 30 days, discounting inflationary emissions.

2. Score with Cited Sources

Deterministic mathematical formulas evaluate 7 risk dimensions. AI is restricted to extracting cited factual claims from verified public audit reports and governance registries.

3. Gate & Deploy to Vault

Fixed-term vaults deploy assets into underlying protocols only when the automated Risk Gate passes (score ≥ minimum threshold and fresh data). A junior buffer absorbs first losses.

Differentiators

Engineered for precision and transparent risk.

Three core principles separate YieldCompass from traditional APY aggregators and black-box yield optimizers.

Core Innovation Active Verification

Risk-Gated by Design

Vault capital is never deployed blindly. If an underlying pool suffers an exploit, oracle staleness, or falls below the series risk threshold, the smart contract gate immediately blocks deposits and freezes deployments.

Solana Gate EvaluationGate Passed
Protocol Score88 ≥ 75 required
Telemetry Age12m ≤ 60m max
Protects tranche capital against sudden protocol degradation

Realized-Yield Truth

We discount speculative governance tokens and measure genuine stablecoin cashflow generated by real borrowers and economic activity over 7 and 30 day windows.

Metrics: 7d & 30d RealizedZero Speculation

Explainable with Cited Facts

Deterministic mathematical rules compute the 0-100 score. AI models never invent or hallucinate metrics; they only extract cited factual statements from public security audits.

Cited Reports: OtterSec, Neodyme, Sec3100% Verifiable
Structured Tranches

Fixed-term vaults with first-loss protection.

Deposit into fixed-duration tranches. Senior capital targets a predefined rate backed by junior capital that absorbs losses first.

Series Lifecycle StatesCancelled → Automatic Full Refund

Deposits open, junior buffer accumulates

2. Active

3. Settled

Waterfall payout distributed at term

Senior Tranche

Target Rate

Targets a predictable 2.0% annual rate. Principal and target interest are repaid first at maturity before junior payouts.

Junior Tranche

First-Loss Buffer

Absorbs negative pool performance first, in exchange for all surplus yield above the senior target rate.

Target rate, not guaranteed. Underlying pool yields fluctuate. Junior buffer absorbs first losses up to buffer capacity; catastrophic drops beyond the buffer affect senior principal.

Radical Transparency

What this is, and what it is not.

We believe in total honesty about prototype capabilities, network environments, and operational boundaries.

Environment

Devnet Only

Operating strictly on Solana Devnet. All deposits, tranches, and yields use simulated testnet tokens. No real capital is ever handled.

Telemetry

Mock Yield Source

Telemetry feeds and historical pool performance reflect seeded mock data for prototype evaluation and verification.

Security

Unaudited Prototype

Smart contract programs and risk scoring algorithms are early prototypes and have not undergone third-party commercial security audits.

Liquidity

No Secondary Market

Tranche positions are non-transferable fixed-duration commitments with no DEX listing or secondary trading liquidity.

Risk scores, factor weights, and realized comparisons represent mathematical models and do not constitute financial advice.

Transparent realized yield discovery, deterministic risk classification, and structured fixed-term vaults on Solana.

YieldCompass is an experimental developer prototype running on Solana Devnet for research and evaluation. Realized APY calculations reflect 7-day and 30-day historical net reserve changes and do not predict future returns. Fixed-term vaults involve structured credit risk with a target rate, not guaranteed. Junior tranche capital absorbs first losses up to the buffer limit. Unaudited prototype; not financial or investment advice.
