My DeFi portfolio returned 31% in 2025 — here's exactly how

Full transparency. $80K deployed in DeFi over 12 months. No shitcoins, no exotic farming.

Allocation

  • 40%: Aave V3 on Arbitrum — lending ETH/USDC, ~8% APY net
  • 25%: Uniswap V3 LP ETH/USDC range 0.85-1.15 ratio — 22% APY with monthly rebalancing
  • 20%: Pendle — yield tokenization on stETH, locked 12 months, 15% fixed
  • 15%: GMX — LP on Arbitrum, 18% APY but more volatile

Total return net of gas fees: +$24,800 or 31%

Risks taken: smart contract, IL on Uni V3, oracle manipulation on GMX. Nothing is risk-free.

31% is nice but you're omitting smart contract risk. One hack and it's -100%. Aave had 2 minor incidents in 2025.

Of course, that's why I diversify across 4 protocols. If one gets hacked I lose 25-40% of my portfolio, not everything. That's risk management.

Do you report all of this for taxes? Because yield farming is a tax nightmare. Every harvest is a taxable event.

What's your rebalancing strategy on Uniswap V3? Do you use an automated tool or do it manually?

I check every Monday morning. If price moves out of my range, I reposition. Tried Arrakis Finance for automation but the fees eat into the yield.
