DeFi Yield APY Scanner

Find the best DeFi yield opportunities across 500+ chains and 1000+ protocols — filter by APY, TVL, chain, and risk level. Powered by DefiLlama. No API key required.

---

What It Does

Scans 17,000+ DeFi yield pools from DefiLlama and returns ranked results based on your filters. Use it to:

• Find the highest safe APY for stablecoins
• Compare yields across chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Solana, etc.)
• Monitor protocol-specific pools (Aave, Uniswap, Lido, Compound, etc.)
• Filter out impermanent loss risk for single-asset strategies
• Get 30-day average APY to avoid temporary spikes

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
chains	string[]	[]	Filter by chain name (e.g. Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum). Empty = all chains
protocols	string[]	[]	Filter by protocol (e.g. aave, lido). Empty = all protocols
minApy	number	3	Minimum APY %
maxApy	number	200	Maximum APY % (set 0 for no cap)
minTvlUsd	number	1000000	Minimum TVL in USD
stablecoinOnly	boolean	false	Only return stablecoin pools
noIlRisk	boolean	false	Exclude pools with impermanent loss risk
sortBy	string	"apy"	apy, tvl, or apy_30d_mean
limit	integer	100	Max results to return (up to 5000)

Example: Best stablecoin yields on Ethereum/Base

{
  "chains": ["Ethereum", "Base"],
  "minApy": 5,
  "maxApy": 50,
  "minTvlUsd": 5000000,
  "stablecoinOnly": true,
  "noIlRisk": true,
  "sortBy": "apy",
  "limit": 20
}

Example: Top TVL pools across all chains

{
  "minApy": 1,
  "minTvlUsd": 100000000,
  "sortBy": "tvl",
  "limit": 50
}

Example: Monitor specific protocol

{
  "protocols": ["aave", "compound"],
  "minApy": 2,
  "sortBy": "apy_30d_mean"
}

Field	Description
apy	Current APY (base + reward)
apy_base	Base APY from protocol fees
apy_reward	Additional reward token APY
apy_30d_mean	30-day average APY (more reliable than spot)

stablecoin	True if underlying asset is a stablecoin
exposure	"single" = one asset, "multi" = LP pair

Use Cases

Yield optimization bot — Run daily to find the best APY and auto-rebalance positions:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/gochujang~defi-yield-scanner/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"stablecoinOnly": true, "minApy": 5, "noIlRisk": true, "limit": 10}'

Alert system — Monitor if your protocol's APY drops below threshold:

# Get current APY for Aave USDC on Ethereum
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/{DATASET_ID}/items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  | jq '[.[] | select(.project == "aave-v3" and .chain == "Ethereum" and (.symbol | contains("USDC")))]'

Why Not Just Use DefiLlama Directly?

You can — but this Actor solves the "last mile" problem:

DefiLlama website	This Actor
Manual filtering in UI	Programmatic, scriptable filters
No API for complex queries	Full API access with structured output
Can't automate alerts	Pipe into Zapier, Make, Telegram, etc.
No batch processing	Run on a schedule, store results in a dataset
Requires human to check	Integrates into your yield optimization bot

If you want to check yields once, use DefiLlama. If you want to automate yield monitoring, use this Actor.
