What Is the Hardcore Labs Stablecoin Yield Portfolio?
The Hardcore Labs portfolio leverages a multi-layered yield approach that taps into multiple DeFi primitives, boosts, and point metas - optimized by a team with over 5 years of experience navigating crypto markets.
Here’s how it earns:
1. Lending Yield
Earn borrow fees and protocol rewards by providing liquidity to optimized lending markets with isolated risk, boosted APYs, and peer-matching.
2. Stablecoin Pool Yield
Provide liquidity to correlated stablecoin pools, boosted with veTokenomics (CRV, CVX, SDT) and earn trading fees + incentives.
3. Yield Trading
Earn from tokenized yield markets, with exposure to future yield, principal token trades, and points-based rewards.
This strategy is actively managed - not passive farming - and constantly rebalanced based on where the best risk-adjusted returns exist.

Protocols That Will Be Used For Yield
Aegis
Aegis YUSD: a Bitcoin-backed, delta-neutral stablecoin offering real-time transparency, built-in yield generation, and complete independence from the fiat banking system.
Reserve monitoring done by Accountable. Security audits completed by Hacken and Sherlock.
Latest updates:
Broke 30M in TVL (https://app.aegis.im/transparency)
10M+ locked on Pendle Pools - one of the leading PTs on the platform.
Listed on Euler, Spectra, Mellow & other markets. Curation by K3, Re7, MEV & more
Users of this portfolio receive 3x Aegis Points, making you early to one of DeFi’s most promising risk primitives.
Morpho
An open, peer-matched lending protocol that enhances rates by directly matching borrowers and lenders, all while inheriting security from major money markets like Aave and Compound.
Euler
A next-gen money market with permissionless asset listings, isolated risk, and dynamic rates. Euler supports long-tail assets while minimizing systemic risk — ideal for diversified yield strategies.
Pendle
A yield trading protocol where future yield is tokenized and tradable, letting people trade, farm, hedge future APY.
Curve
The foundation of stablecoin liquidity in DeFi — low-slippage, high-volume AMMs for correlated assets and synthetic pools. Also supports lending via LLAMMA (soft liquidations).
Convex
Maximizes rewards for Curve LPs without locking CRV directly. Convex is a must-use to access boosted emissions and influence Curve governance.
Stake DAO
A governance and yield automation platform focused on monetizing veTokenomics. It provides additional reward wrappers and yield strategies on top of Curve and Convex.

Portfolio Yield: 15–20% APR (Net)

This is real, sustainable, and actively managed yield — not unsustainable emissions or leverage loops.
