Yield Comparison Prompt
Compares yield opportunities on a risk-adjusted basis instead of ranking them by advertised APY.
/ quick answer
Use when choosing between two or more places to deploy the same capital. Compares yield opportunities on a risk-adjusted basis instead of ranking them by advertised APY.
Compare these yield opportunities for the same capital. Rank by risk-adjusted attractiveness, not APY. CAPITAL: [AMOUNT + ASSET] HORIZON: [DURATION] OPTION A: [protocol, chain, APY, TVL, audits, upgradeability, yield source, exit path] OPTION B: [same fields] OPTION C: [same fields] For each option: - Real yield after emissions are excluded - Risk layers present (contract, oracle, liquidity, issuer, bridge) - Gas and transaction costs over the horizon, as a % of capital - Worst realistic outcome Then: 1. Rank them, stating the decisive factor for each ranking. 2. Identify any option whose advertised yield does not compensate its risk at all. 3. Recommend an allocation split, or a single option, with reasoning. 4. State the monitoring rule for the chosen option. No projections of total return. No advice to maximise yield.
A: 31% advertised, 7% real, non-timelocked admin — risk not compensated. B: 9% advertised, 8.4% real from trading fees, timelocked, audited twice; gas 0.3% over 6 months. C: 14% but requires a bridge, adding a distinct exploit surface. Ranking: B, C, A — decided by real yield versus admin authority. Split: 80% B, 20% C. Monitor B's fee share weekly; exit below 60% fee-based.
