1.41%
-0.81%
+2.22%
43.55%

Hold a WBTC-cbBTC LP position as collateral and borrow the same LP shape on the debt side. Neither asset earns a native yield (both are 1:1 BTC wrappers), so the entire carry comes from the trading fees the pool collects when arbitrageurs cross between WBTC and cbBTC. The debt leg earns back its share of those fees, leaving the col leg's fee income as the net carry.

Hold a wstETH-ETH LP position as collateral and borrow the same LP shape on the debt side. The collateral leg earns: trading fees on the wstETH-ETH pool plus the underlying Lido staking yield on the wstETH portion. The debt leg pays the borrow rates on each leg, offset by an equal share of the same fees. The carry is the net spread, and the trading-fee component dominates short-term swings.

6.11%
4.35%
+1.76%
17.89%

Hold reUSD as collateral and borrow the USDC-USDT pool. The debt position holds both stablecoins in pool proportions; you pay a blended USDC + USDT borrow rate but earn back a share of the pool's trading fees, which can make the funding leg materially cheaper than borrowing either stable alone. The carry is the reUSD yield minus that net funding cost.

Hold reUSD as collateral and borrow USDC. reUSD is Re Protocol's deposit token: the protocol routes the underlying USDC/USDT into a diversified portfolio of US property and casualty reinsurance positions, and the net premium income (after claims) accrues into the share price. The carry is that yield minus the USDC borrow rate.

Hold wstETH as collateral and borrow ETH. wstETH is Lido's non-rebasing wrapper of stETH; the share price grows by Ethereum staking rewards (consensus issuance plus execution-layer tips, net of Lido's 10% fee). The carry is that staking yield minus the ETH borrow rate, the cleanest LST carry on chain.

6.96%

Hold Lido's wstETH as collateral and borrow WETH against it. wstETH appreciates against ETH at the staked-ETH rate, and the WETH borrow leg funds the position in the same denomination, so the carry is simply staking yield minus the WETH borrow rate. ETH-correlated assets share an e-mode bucket on Aave, which is what enables the high advance rate. Useful as a benchmark against the same pair on dedicated leverage venues like Fluid.

Hold ether.fi's weETH as collateral and borrow WETH against it. weETH wraps ETH that is staked through Lido and restaked on EigenLayer, so the position earns consensus rewards, execution tips, and restaking yield in a single wrapper. The carry is the spread between weETH's accrual rate and the WETH borrow rate. ETH-correlated assets clear into a shared e-mode bucket, which is what unlocks the high advance rate on this pair.
