Why is tracking DeFi yields still so primitive?

Serious question.

We have all these protocols, dashboards, analytics tools… but actually, monitoring yields still feels broken:

- APYs change and you don’t notice until it’s too late

- TVL shifts (which usually signal risk) are easy to miss

- you end up checking 3–5 different sites like it’s 2015

Feels like unless you’re constantly watching, you’re either:

- late to opportunities

- or late to risk

So, how are you guys actually handling this?

- Just manually checking dashboards?

- Using specific tools/alerts?

- Or not bothering unless it’s big moves?

I got annoyed enough to hack together a Telegram bot for myself just to get alerts in one place, but I’m not convinced this is even a common problem vs me overthinking it.

Curious how others here deal with it.

How do you actually figure out pricing as a solo founder?

I think most solo founders guess pricing completely wrong (including me)

So I’m trying something different.

I built a small Telegram bot that tracks crypto yields (APY/TVL alerts, simple search, etc.). It’s intentionally basic — the only real “edge” is that it lives in Telegram and is just easy to use.

Now here’s the part I don’t trust myself on: pricing.

Every time I’ve tried to price something, it felt like:

  • random guessing
  • copying competitors
  • or overthinking features nobody pays for

So instead of pretending I know what I’m doing, I’m looking for a few solo founders to break this.

I’ll give you free access to the bot, and in return I want brutally honest answers:

  • Is this even worth paying for?
  • What would make it worth paying for?
  • What would you actually pay (not hypothetically)?

If the answer is “this is useless,” that’s just as valuable.

No landing page, no funnel — just DM me and I’ll set you up.

Curious how other solo founders here approach pricing too, because I’m not convinced most of us are doing it right.
