Extreme Earn rates
Baseline Earn yield is single-digit APR — that's the money-market rate. When a coin offers 30–100%, a different economy is at work. It has a finite list of causes — and for each one you can judge who ultimately pays for your yield.
Where ultra-high APR comes from
Project promo emissions
New tokens subsidize the rate from a marketing budget to attract holders and TVL. The rate is honest but temporary: the quota fills and APR melts from tens of percent to single digits within weeks. The advertised rate often applies only to the first $100–1000 of deposit (tiers).
Borrow demand for shorting
Flexible Earn is also a margin-lending pool: your coin gets borrowed to short, and the borrow rate is shared with depositors. That's why a high APR often pairs with negative funding on the coin's perp — both numbers measure the same demand for a short position. The “funding now” column below exists for this cross-check.
Illiquidity premium
For illiquid coins the rate includes a risk premium: the payout accrues in the same token, which at exit may be impossible to sell without moving the price. Yield in tokens ≠ yield in dollars.
Supply management ahead of events
An observed pattern (and grounds for skepticism): rates get raised when an issuer or market maker needs to reduce sell pressure — ahead of unlocks, listings, large allocations. This is a hypothesis we test with data: the radar snapshots every extreme rate and will match its lifespan against the price move — the track-record column appears as history accumulates.
- · Payout is in the same token. 60% APR ≈ 0.16% per day; daily volatility of coins on this list is 5–15%. Price, not the rate, decides the outcome.
- · APR in the table is an “estimate”: floating, non-guaranteed, revised by the exchange without notice.
- · Quotas and tiers: the advertised rate usually applies to a limited deposit — check the product terms on the exchange.
- · This is data for analysis, not a recommendation. The decision and the risk are yours.

Methodology: all products snapshotted every 6 hours, history kept for a year (since 7/19/2026). An extreme APR coinciding with extreme funding on the same coin is a double measurement of one imbalance.
