New Author, New Journey: Testing Stablecoins and Low-Risk DeFi

New Author New Chain

Hi everyone!

The previous author sold this blog, and now it’s me here - trying my hand at continuing what they started.

I live in Russia, and I’ve been into decentralized finance (DeFi) since April 2024.

What hooked me is how this field brings together everything exciting: modern tools, flexible ways to boost returns, and ideas that used to be reserved for institutions.
Now they’re open to retail investors too - no KYC, no intermediaries, just direct access.


It all started quite simply: buying stablecoins on Binance, then moving to Huobi, and later Bybit.
After that came my first encounter with DeFi and the dive into the world of decentralized platforms.

Recently, I tried some curator vaults on Silo and Euler - barely managed to withdraw in time, almost lost my funds.
The experience was stressful, but valuable.


Now I’ve got the idea to start a crypto blog - to share my observations, experiments with capital allocation, and the results of DeFi strategies.


What I’m planning now

I want to test yield on a stablecoin portfolio using low-risk DeFi instruments.
The format will be a spreadsheet showing current strategies and results.

My current focus is on:


Goal

To build a clear picture of how low-risk stablecoin strategies perform across different networks and platforms.

I’m not a trader or a financial guru.
Just someone trying to figure out how a retail investor can actually make stablecoins work for them.

I’ll be sharing where I put my funds, how much I earned, where things got stuck, and where I got scared.
