Yield Opportunities
Inverse Finance offers multiple ways to earn yield on your crypto assets, from simple auto-compounding strategies to advanced liquidity provision and leverage tactics. Current APYs and live opportunities are available on the Yield Opportunities Dashboard, which pulls data from DefiLlama and updates continuously.
Risk Disclaimer: All yield strategies carry smart contract risk. The opportunities mentioned on this page have not been audited by Inverse Finance unless explicitly stated otherwise. Different strategies carry different risk levels, with some subject to impermanent loss or divergence loss when DOLA is paired with volatile tokens like INV or wETH. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Always conduct your own due diligence before participating in any yield opportunity.
sDOLA: Auto-Compounding Stablecoin Yield
Current APY: Check live rates
sDOLA is the simplest way to earn yield — deposit DOLA and receive sDOLA tokens that automatically appreciate as FiRM's lending revenue accrues. No staking required, no manual claiming, no active management. Your sDOLA grows continuously and you can convert back to DOLA anytime with no lock-up period.
sDOLA's yield comes from DBR revenue generated by FiRM borrowers, making it genuine protocol revenue share rather than inflationary farming rewards. The APY fluctuates based on borrowing activity — higher borrowing means more DBR burned and higher yields for sDOLA holders.
How to earn: Navigate to inverse.finance/sDOLA, deposit DOLA to receive sDOLA, and watch it appreciate automatically. Available on Ethereum, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Berachain.
jrDOLA: Enhanced Yield Through Junior Tranche
jrDOLA is the junior tranche of a structured yield product that offers enhanced returns by absorbing first-loss risk. When you deposit into jrDOLA, you earn higher yields than sDOLA in exchange for providing downside protection to senior tranche holders. If the underlying strategy experiences losses, jrDOLA absorbs them first before senior positions are affected.
This makes jrDOLA suitable for users who understand tranched risk structures and are willing to accept additional risk for potentially higher returns. The enhanced yield compensates for the first-loss position in the capital stack.
How to earn: Available through the jrDOLA interface. Deposit DOLA or sDOLA to receive jrDOLA tokens representing your junior tranche position. Monitor your position regularly as first-loss exposure requires active risk management.
sINV: Staking INV for Protocol Revenue
Current APY: Check live rates
Stake INV for sINV to earn auto-compounding protocol revenue without locking tokens on FiRM. You receive DBR streaming rewards plus anti-dilution protection against INV supply expansions. The combined APY varies based on protocol revenue and emissions policy.
Unlike FiRM staking, sINV doesn't allow borrowing against your position but also doesn't expose you to liquidation risk. You retain full voting rights while staked — sINV works for governance just like INV.
How to earn: Visit the sINV interface, deposit INV to receive sINV, and your position appreciates automatically. Available cross-chain on Base, Optimism, and Arbitrum.
Providing Liquidity to DOLA Pools
Current APYs: View all pools
Provide liquidity to DOLA pools on Curve, Aerodrome, and other DEXs to earn trading fees plus potential protocol incentives. Liquidity provision offers higher yield potential than staking but carries impermanent loss risk, especially in volatile pairs.
Stablecoin Pools (Lower Risk):
DOLA-sUSDe on Curve
DOLA-sUSDS on Curve
DOLA-scrvUSD on Curve
sDOLA-scrvUSD on Curve
DOLA-USR on Curve
DOLA-wstUSR on Curve
DOLA pairs on Aerodrome (Base)
Stablecoin pools minimize impermanent loss since both assets maintain similar values, making them suitable for risk-averse liquidity providers seeking yield without significant principal risk.
Volatile Pools (Higher Risk, Higher Potential):
INV-WETH on various DEXs
INV-DOLA-DBR on Curve
Volatile pairs expose you to impermanent loss as asset prices diverge, but often offer higher base trading fees due to increased volatility. Only provide liquidity to volatile pools if you understand and accept the impermanent loss risk.
How to participate: Check the Liquidity page for current pools, APYs, and TVL. Deposit equal value of both tokens to receive LP tokens, stake LP tokens if additional rewards are available, and monitor for impermanent loss regularly.
Advanced: Leveraged Yield with FiRM
Estimated APY: Varies significantly based on collateral, leverage, and DBR costs
Experienced users can amplify returns by depositing yield-bearing collateral on FiRM, borrowing DOLA, swapping for more collateral, and repeating. This multiplies exposure to the collateral's native yield but introduces liquidation risk and requires managing DBR costs.
This strategy works best when the collateral's yield exceeds DBR costs, you maintain conservative collateralization ratios, and you can actively monitor positions during volatility. Start with low leverage (1.5x-2x) if experimenting with this approach.
Advanced Strategy Warning: Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Liquidations can result in permanent capital loss. Not recommended for beginners.
Comparing Yields Across DeFi
Inverse Finance Dashboard: inverse.finance/tokens/yield-opportunities Live APYs for sDOLA, sINV, liquidity pools, and FiRM borrowing costs updated continuously from DefiLlama.
StableYields.info: stableyields.info Compare stablecoin yields across major DeFi protocols including sDAI, sUSDe, Aave, Compound, and dozens of others. Filter by risk level and understand whether yields come from protocol revenue, inflationary rewards, or trading fees.
When evaluating yields, consider the source (protocol revenue is more sustainable than farming emissions), risk level (higher yields typically mean higher risk), liquidity (can you exit quickly?), track record (how long has the protocol operated?), and transparency (can you verify yields and backing on-chain?).
Risk Considerations
Smart Contract Risk: Every DeFi protocol depends on smart contracts that could contain bugs or vulnerabilities. Never deposit more than you can afford to lose.
Liquidation Risk: If you borrow DOLA on FiRM, your collateral can be liquidated if its value drops too close to your debt value. Maintain conservative buffers and set up alerts.
Impermanent Loss: Liquidity providers can suffer impermanent loss if the price ratio between paired assets changes significantly. This risk is minimal in stablecoin pairs but substantial in volatile pairs like INV-WETH.
Yield Fluctuation: APYs are not guaranteed and change based on protocol usage and market conditions. Current yields may not persist indefinitely.
Peg Risk: Stablecoin yields depend on the stablecoin maintaining its peg. DOLA has strong peg mechanisms, but no stablecoin is entirely risk-free.
Yield Optimization: Don't chase the highest APY without understanding risk. Sustainable, protocol-revenue-based yields like sDOLA often provide better risk-adjusted returns than high-APY farming that relies on inflationary rewards.
