Yield Marketplace Guide
What is the Yield Marketplace?
The Yield Marketplace aggregates earning opportunities from across the OmniBazaar ecosystem and DeFi protocols. Compare annual percentage yields (APY), risk levels, and lock-up periods from a single dashboard.
Types of Yield Opportunities
- Liquid Staking: Stake your tokens and get a tradable receipt token back (called a "liquid staking derivative") that you can sell or use as collateral while your original stake keeps earning.
- LP Tokens: Provide liquidity to DEX trading pairs and earn a share of trading fees.
- Lending: Lend tokens to borrowers through lending protocols and earn interest.
- Restaking: Put your liquid staking tokens to work a second time in another protocol, earning an extra layer of yield on top of your original staking rewards.
- Private Credit: Supply capital to real-world lending pools for fixed yields.
- Real Estate: Earn rental income from tokenized property investments.
- Treasury Yield: Earn from tokenized government bonds and T-bills.
- Aggregators: Auto-compounding vaults that optimize yield strategies.
How to Use the Yield Dashboard
- Navigate to DEX > Yield from the main menu.
- Browse opportunities by category or sort by APY, TVL, or risk level.
- Click any opportunity to see detailed information: protocol, chain, APY history, lock-up terms, and risk assessment.
- Deposit tokens to start earning. Your position appears in your portfolio.
Staking vs. Yield Farming
Staking locks your XOM to secure the network and earn 5–12% APR. Yield farming involves providing liquidity to DEX pairs or lending protocols, potentially offering higher returns but with impermanent loss risk. You can use both simultaneously with different portions of your holdings.
Understanding Risks
- Impermanent Loss: When token prices diverge in liquidity pools, the value of your position may be less than simply holding the tokens.
- Smart Contract Risk: Bugs or exploits in DeFi protocols (OmniBazaar contracts are audited).
- Market Volatility: The value of reward tokens may fluctuate significantly.
OmniBazaar displays a risk rating for each opportunity. Higher yield programs generally carry higher risk.
Rewards and Withdrawals
Staking rewards come from network block-reward emission, most of which flows to liquidity providers through the overflow pool. DEX liquidity rewards are distributed continuously as trades occur. Claim rewards anytime or enable auto-compounding. Flexible positions allow withdrawal at any time; time-locked positions carry early withdrawal penalties.
