1/ 📢 Ethereum isn’t just programmable—it's productive. $ETH is no longer idle capital. It can generate sustainable, onchain yield across DeFi and staking strategies. Here’s the ULTIMATE guide to ETH yield—10 powerful ways to put your ETH to work 🧵👇

2/ 🔒 1. Native Staking Secure Ethereum. Earn passive yield. 32 ETH for solo validators Or use Lido / Rocket Pool 💸 Yield: ~3–5% APY Liquid staking tokens (like stETH) unlock DeFi composability.

3/ 💰 2. Lending ETH Lend your ETH to earn interest from borrowers. Collateralized, non-custodial, and capital-efficient. 📊 Yield: 1–5% APY 🏦 Platforms: Aave, Compound, MakerDAO

4/ ⚖️ 3. Collateralized Borrowing Use ETH to borrow stablecoins (DAI, USDC), then reinvest them. 📈 Strategy: Loop into farming, staking, or LPs ⚠️ Risk: Liquidation from price drops 📊 Indirect yield: 5–20%+ depending on deployment

5/ 💧 4. Liquidity Provision Provide ETH to DEXs and earn trading fees. Pairs: ETH/USDC, stETH/ETH, etc. 📉 Beware impermanent loss! 📊 Yield: 5–20%+ 🔁 Platforms: Uniswap, Curve, Balancer

6/ 🌾 5. Yield Farming Stake ETH or LP tokens in farms to earn protocol rewards. Often used with governance tokens. 📊 Yield: 10–100%+ (but volatile!) 🧪 Platforms: Convex, Balancer, Aura, Yearn

7/ 🔄 6. Restaking (ETH2.0+) ETH secures Ethereum AND more. Stake again to secure AVSs (middleware, oracles, etc). 💸 Extra yield on top of staking 📊 Yield: 5–15%+ ⚙️ Platforms: EigenLayer, Symbiotic

8/ 🤖 7. Automated Vault Strategies Set-and-forget smart vaults that optimize ETH yield. Autocompound and rotate strategies for you. 📊 Yield: 5–20%+ ⚙️ Platforms: Yearn, Sommelier, Instadapp, Harvest

9/ 🧮 8. ETH-backed Stablecoin Minting Use ETH/stETH to mint stablecoins like eUSD or mkUSD. Then earn yield by holding or farming them. 📊 Yield: 5–15%+ 🏗 Platforms: Lybra, Prisma, Gravita

10/ 📈 9. Derivatives & Structured Products ETH options, futures, and synthetic assets = extra yield. Covered call vaults, options premiums, LP hedging. 📊 Variable returns 🧪 Platforms: Ribbon, Opyn, Panoptic, Synthetix

11/ 🔗 10. ETH Yield Stacking You can combine these: Stake ETH → get stETH → lend or LP it → restake it → mint stablecoins → farm → loop 💥 ETH becomes superfluid productive capital Total blended yield: potentially 10–30%+
