Where does this yield come from?
Ethereum mainnet DeFi yield comes from the deepest liquidity pools in crypto: Aave, Morpho, Sky, Compound, Yearn, and more. Mainnet hosts the largest TVL and the most established protocols, with organic lending rates driven by stablecoin borrowing demand.
Risk considerations
Ethereum mainnet carries no bridge risk, but smart contract and protocol risks apply. Gas costs are higher than L2s. Protocols on mainnet are generally the most audited and battle-tested in DeFi. No DeFi deposit is insured.
Frequently asked questions

Is it worth using Ethereum mainnet for DeFi yield vs. L2s?
Mainnet offers the deepest liquidity and most established protocols, but higher gas costs make small deposits less efficient. For deposits under $10,000, L2s like Arbitrum and Base typically offer better net returns after gas. For large deposits, mainnet protocols have the deepest capacity and lowest slippage.
