2. Risk Assessment per Strategy

For each opportunity, evaluate:

PROTOCOL RISK:
  Audit status:     [Audited by X / Unaudited]
  TVL:              [$X billion / million]  
  Age:              [X months/years on mainnet]
  Track record:     [Any exploits? Recovered?]
  Governance:       [DAO / Multisig / Single key]
  Insurance:        [Available via Nexus Mutual / None]
  Risk score:       [1-10, 10 = safest]

STRATEGY RISK:
  Impermanent loss: [None / Low / Medium / High]
  Smart contract:   [Battle-tested / Newer / Experimental]
  Liquidation:      [None / Possible at X ratio]
  Lock-up:          [None / X days / Variable]
  Depegging:        [N/A / Low / Medium risk]

3. Real APY Calculation

Calculate the ACTUAL yield after all costs:

Gross APY:           X%
- Protocol fees:    -Y%
- Gas costs:        -Z% (amortized over time horizon)
- IL estimate:      -W% (for LP positions)
- Harvesting costs: -V% (for farm rewards)
= Net APY:           N%

Annualized $ return on $AMOUNT: $R
Break-even time (vs gas): T days

4. Strategy Construction

Build optimal allocations based on risk tolerance:

Conservative (Stables Only)

• Lending: Aave/Compound USDC supply
• Stablecoin LPs: USDC/DAI, USDC/USDT
• Yield vaults: Yearn stablecoin strategies
• Target: 3-8% net APY

Moderate (Blue-chip + Stables)

• ETH liquid staking: Lido stETH, Rocket Pool rETH
• Blue-chip LPs: ETH/USDC, WBTC/ETH
• Lending with collateral optimization
• Target: 5-15% net APY

Aggressive (Includes Newer Protocols)

• Concentrated liquidity positions
• Leveraged yield farming
• Newer protocol incentive programs
• Yield trading (Pendle PTs/YTs)
• Target: 15-50%+ net APY (higher risk)

═══ PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION SUMMARY ═══

| Strategy | Allocation | Net APY | Risk | Annual $ |
|----------|-----------|---------|------|----------|
| ...      | ...       | ...     | ...  | ...      |
| TOTAL    | $X        | Y% avg  |      | $Z       |

═══ MONITORING CHECKLIST ═══

□ Check positions weekly for:
  - Rate changes (lending rates fluctuate)
  - IL accumulation (for LP positions)
  - Protocol governance proposals
  - New opportunities (protocol migrations)

□ Rebalance triggers:
  - APY drops below X% → move to alternative
  - IL exceeds Y% → exit LP
  - Protocol TVL drops below $Z → exit position

═══ GAS OPTIMIZATION ═══

Estimated total gas for setup: $X
Optimal execution time: <low-gas periods>
Batch opportunities: <which steps can be combined>

Rules

• Always account for gas costs — small portfolios (<$500) may not justify multi-step strategies
• For LP positions, ALWAYS estimate IL based on historical volatility
• Favor battle-tested protocols (>$100M TVL, >6 months, audited) for conservative/moderate
• Warn about impermanent loss in volatile pairs — most users underestimate it
• Include exit strategy with every recommendation
• Note any lock-up periods that limit liquidity
• If protocol has had a security incident, disclose it
• Recommend diversifying across 2-3 strategies minimum to reduce protocol risk
• For aggressive strategies, never recommend putting >30% in any single protocol
• Real yields from actual protocol usage always beat token emission yields long-term
