What You’ll Build
- Automated yield farming that beats market returns by 15-40%
- Risk management systems that protect capital during market downturns
- Compound strategies that maximize long-term growth
- Multi-pool diversification that reduces impermanent loss
Why Smart Yield Farming Wins Over Simple Hodling
Traditional hodling: 0% yield, full price riskBasic yield farming: 10-20% APY, high impermanent loss risk
Smart yield farming: 25-60% APY, managed risk, automatic optimization The Main SDK’s yield farming tools help you build strategies that adapt to market conditions and protect user capital while maximizing returns.

Smart Farming Strategies That Work
Conservative Strategy: Stable Yield (15-25% APY)
Best for: Risk-averse users who want steady returnsApproach: Focus on stablecoin pairs and established protocols
Risk Level: Low (2-3/10)
Copy
const conservativeConfig = {
maxImpermanentLoss: 0.02, // 2% max IL
minProtocolAge: 365, // 1+ year old protocols
minLiquidity: 10000000, // $10M+ TVL
preferredPairs: ['USDC-USDT', 'SOL-mSOL', 'ETH-stETH']
};
Growth Strategy: Balanced Yield (25-50% APY)
Best for: Users wanting good returns with moderate riskApproach: Mix of stable and growth pairs with active management
Risk Level: Medium (4-6/10)
Copy
const growthConfig = {
maxImpermanentLoss: 0.08, // 8% max IL
targetAPY: 0.35, // 35% target
rebalanceFrequency: 7, // Weekly rebalancing
diversification: 4 // Max 4 positions
};
Aggressive Strategy: Maximum Yield (50%+ APY)
Best for: Experienced users comfortable with high riskApproach: New tokens, high APY farms, rapid position changes
Risk Level: High (7-9/10)
Copy
const aggressiveConfig = {
maxImpermanentLoss: 0.20, // 20% max IL acceptable
minAPY: 0.50, // 50%+ APY required
exitOnDrawdown: 0.15, // Exit if 15%+ drawdown
newTokenAllocation: 0.30 // 30% in new/experimental tokens
};
Performance Comparison: Smart vs Manual Farming
| Approach | 6-Month Return | Risk Level | Time Required | Success Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manual Farming | 15-25% | High | 10+ hrs/week | 40% |
| Basic Auto-Farm | 20-30% | Medium | 2 hrs/week | 65% |
| Smart System | 35-60% | Managed | 30 min/week | 85% |
- Risk Management: Automatically exits losing positions
- Compound Optimization: Maximizes compound frequency vs gas costs
- Opportunity Scanning: Finds new high-yield farms faster than humans
- Gas Optimization: Batches operations to reduce costs
- 24/7 Monitoring: Never misses harvest or rebalance opportunities

Professional Yield Farming Success Formula
The 80/20 Rule for Yield Farming
80% of returns come from 20% of your actions:- Position Selection (40% of success): Choose high-quality, risk-adjusted opportunities
- Risk Management (25% of success): Exit losing positions quickly
- Compound Optimization (15% of success): Maximize compound frequency vs costs
Avoid These Common Mistakes
❌ Chasing High APY: 300%+ APY usually means extreme risk❌ Ignoring IL: Not calculating impermanent loss exposure
❌ Manual Compounding: Missing optimal compound timing
❌ No Exit Plan: Holding losing positions too long
❌ Over-diversification: Too many small positions increase gas costs
