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.
