So many long-tail assets!
Thinking about complexity and mental effort to manage all the positions…

Some of my ideas for yielding strategies
I was going through some of my favourite farms and these are looking reasonable-ish.
(I don’t know all the GIPs, I don’t know which chains and which strategies are approved)
+++ surefire looped WETH / stETH: https://app.indexcoop.com/iceth
