Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to earn yield on USDT?+
Earning yield on USDT carries varying levels of risk. DeFi protocols like Aave use audited smart contracts but still carry smart contract risk. CeFi platforms are custodial. Always use established, audited protocols with high TVL and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

What is the difference between CeFi and DeFi USDT yield?+
CeFi platforms (Binance, Nexo, Kraken) hold your crypto and pay interest — simpler but custodial. DeFi protocols (Aave, Morpho) use smart contracts where you always control your funds. DeFi generally offers higher rates but requires a Web3 wallet.
How is USDT APY calculated?+
APY accounts for compound interest — earning interest on your interest. It reflects your actual return over a full year. Most DeFi protocols compound continuously. APY is always slightly higher than APR for the same underlying rate.
What is the minimum amount to earn USDT yield?+
Minimums vary by platform. On DeFi protocols like Aave, you can start with any amount (Ethereum gas fees make small amounts uneconomical). On CeFi platforms, minimums are typically 1 USDC or 0.001 BTC. For small amounts, use Polygon or Arbitrum to avoid high gas fees.
