I tracked the whales and found something: While everyone screams for pumps, Whales are quietly printing insane yields. I dug through their playbook and found a play nobody talks about 🧵👇

As always, whales are showing how it’s done. Now, many of them are quietly moving their capital into farming — a smart move. As people rush into altcoins, pools are thinning out. Fewer participants in the pools = higher yields.

I also follow alts, but no matter how bullish things look, a part of your portfolio should quietly farm risk-off yield, and whales know it. Right now, one of the most efficient places to do that is @etherlink Here's how I'm using it: 👇

Apple Farm is Etherlink’s $3M incentive program. ➢ 19 strategies live right now ➢ Rewards paid in applstXTZ (a staked token that yields while it vests) ➢ Partnered with top protocols like @CurveFinance, @GearboxProtocol, @Uniswap and more. Let’s talk about one of the most active strategies.

The USDC vault on Gearbox is gaining real traction. ➢ Curated by @Re7Labs ➢ Deployed on @etherlink ➢ APR currently at ~27%, peaked at 30%+ ➢ $8M+ supplied Vault fills up fast and for good reason.

Here’s how the yield breaks down: ~3% organic from lending $USDC ~25% boosted via applstXTZ incentives Rewards vest over 6 months but yield ~8.5% while vesting You can even borrow against LPs and loop positions, like mRE7/USDC on Curve.

The current Gearbox vault is active from Oct 2–Oct 9, with a total of 35,000 applstXTZ allocated. The sooner you get in, the better the APR. Vaults are dynamic and fill up fast. Here’s how to join (and earn a bit more via referral boost): 👇
