Description

This strategy earns blended USDT and ETH yields by taking advantage of differences in Aave and Compound.

By depositing USDT into Aave, this strategy earns 1x the Aave USDT lending interest. This also allows the strategy to borrow WETH against the USDT collateral with a 20% buffer.

Borrowed WETH from Aave is swapped for wstETH earning the interest differentials between wstETH liquid staking yields and Aave WETH borrow interest.

The wstETH is then used to create a 6.2x leveraged wstETH:ETH position (5% liquidation buffer) which earns an additional 5.2x interest differential between wstETH liquid staking yields and Compound WETH borrow interest. The total WETH borrowed on Compound also earns additional COMP borrow rewards.
