Want to do on-chain wealth management but afraid of risks? For investors who can tolerate moderate to high risk, DeFi lending platforms are not just simple wealth management tools—they are actually a lever on the chain.
The core idea is not complicated: when the lending interest rate is lower than the yield on your staked assets, this interest rate difference becomes an arbitrage opportunity. By repeatedly staking, borrowing, and restaking in cycles, you can grow your initial principal like a snowball.
Taking BNB and stablecoins as two mainstream assets, their operational logic is completely different. One is a main public chain token, and the other is a value-pegged stable asset. Combining their respective characteristics, we can design different cycle strategies. Some people have used this approach to push capital efficiency to an APY of 24%.
Of course, the premise is that you truly understand the lending mechanisms involved, otherwise you might just become the one who gets liquidated.

Listening to the snowball grow is satisfying, but those who can truly secure a 24% APY are rare; most are still the ones repeatedly cut by the mechanism.

The so-called "snowball" method sounds nice, but in reality, it's like dancing on a tightrope—one misstep and you fall straight down.
24% APY? I checked Aave's data, and it's not that high. This must be a story from some small platform.

The snowball method sounds easy to listen to, but in practice, it's just as much a job of harvesting the leeks.

The snowball strategy can be played, but the only concern is not understanding it thoroughly and forcing it. 24% APY sounds great, but the risk bites.

24% APY sounds quite tempting, but I always feel like there's a lot of risk involved here.
