💤 How to Earn Passive Income in DeFi (2025 Edition)

DeFi ≠ chasing 2000% APY anymore.

In 2025, it's all about sustainable yield with manageable risk. Here are 4 strategies that still work.

💧 1. Staking via Lido / EigenLayer

– Stake ETH using Lido for ~3–4% APY

– EigenLayer lets you restake and earn additional rewards

– Use LST tokens (stETH, rsETH) across DeFi for extra yield

✅ Pro: low-risk, liquid rewards

⚠️ Con: restaking mechanics require some learning

💱 2. Low-volatility LP pairs

– Stable or correlated pairs like USDC/USDT, ETH/stETH, DAI/crvUSD

– Earnings come from trading fees + incentives

– Platforms: Curve, Maverick, Uniswap V3

✅ Pro: minimal impermanent loss

⚠️ Con: yields fluctuate over time

💸 3. Airdrop Farming via Protocol Activity

– Interact with ecosystems like LayerZero, zkSync, Scroll, Blast

– Use dApps, bridge, provide liquidity – then wait

– Many have confirmed or hinted at upcoming tokens

✅ Pro: low capital requirement

⚠️ Con: results take months and aren’t guaranteed

📊 4. Lending with Real Yield

– Platforms like Morpho, Aave, or Ethena (sUSDe/USDC loop)

– Interest comes from real borrowers, not inflation

– Choose audited, transparent protocols

✅ Pro: more sustainable earnings

⚠️ Con: consider protocol

and counterparty risk

DeFi in 2025 is less about hype, more about efficiency.

Smart capital = steady yield.
