This New Solana Yield Loop Promises 20% APY And I Have So Many Questions

Look, I’m not the kind of guy who wakes up at 6 a.m. to chase yield on a blockchain named after a beach in California, mostly because my 24-year-old nephew tried to explain DeFi to me at Thanksgiving last year and I still haven’t recovered. I left that dinner convinced “yield farming” was a new way to grow tomatoes in your closet, and I’m only half wrong. But when Dune-the decentralized analytics platform that sounds like the title of a bad sci-fi novel I’d half-read on a cross-country flight-dropped a tweet last week saying an $11 billion asset manager was messing around with Solana lending markets like they were a new set of golf clubs, I perked up. Mostly because I still haven’t figured out how to move my $17 in Ethereum out of my Metamask without paying more in gas than the $17 is worth, so this whole institutional DeFi thing feels very “rich people doing rich people things while I argue with a customer service bot about a missing pizza topping.”
