DeFi Opportunity

Risk-adjusted DeFi yield across 15+ protocols. Raw APR penalized by current market stress and cross-chain contagion risk. Returns the highest opportunity with a full penalty breakdown. $0.75. 60s cache.

Disclaimer: This is a risk-adjusted yield classification derived from quantitative signals, not financial advice. DeFi protocols carry smart contract, liquidity, and market risks. Always conduct your own analysis before making financial decisions.

What It Does

Calls DeFi yield data (Layer 1) and combines it with MSSI and MSTI (Layer 2) to compute a risk-adjusted APR for each protocol.

The logic: when the market is under stress, the raw APR understates the real risk. High MSSI means protocols face elevated liquidation pressure. High MSTI means cross-chain bridges and multi-chain protocols carry extra contagion exposure. Both reduce the risk-adjusted APR automatically.

Penalty Model

SignalConditionAPR Penalty
MSSI (crypto stress)CALM0%
MSSIELEVATED−1.0%
MSSIHIGH−2.5%
MSSIEXTREME−4.0%
MSTI (contagion) — cross-chain protocols onlyCOUPLED−1.0%
MSTI — cross-chain protocols onlyCONTAGION−2.0%

Protocols on Ethereum mainnet or Base only are not penalized for contagion — the cross-chain penalty applies to protocols with meaningful exposure to bridges or multi-chain liquidity pools.

Preview Endpoint

The preview returns highest_opportunity, mssi_regime, and stress_penalty_applied only — no signature, no full rankings. Useful for checking current stress context before deciding whether to pay for the full response.

Payment

x402 only (USDC on Base). $0.75 per query. 60s background cache — all agents querying within the same 60s window receive the same signed snapshot for the same price.

Layer 1 alternative: If you want raw yield rates without interpretation, use /oracle/defi/yield/all ($0.05) and apply your own stress model. DeFi Opportunity is for agents that want a pre-computed, signed, regime-aware ranking without building their own aggregation logic.
