Optimizing Staking Rewards
Overview
Analyze staking opportunities across PoS blockchains and liquid staking protocols. Compares APY/APR, calculates net yields after fees, assesses protocol risks, and recommends optimal allocations.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+ installed
- Dependencies:
pip install requests
- Network access to DeFiLlama APIs
- Optional: CoinGecko API key for higher rate limits
Instructions
- Compare staking options for a specific asset:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH
Shows protocol name, type (native vs liquid), gross/net APY, risk score, TVL, and lock-up period.
- Analyze with position size for gas-adjusted yields:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH --amount 10
Calculates effective APY accounting for gas costs and projects returns at 1M, 3M, 6M, and 1Y.
- Optimize existing portfolio with current positions:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --optimize \
--positions "10 ETH @ lido 4.0%, 100 ATOM @ native 18%, 50 DOT @ native 14%"
Suggests higher-yield alternatives with projected improvement and switching costs.
- Compare protocols or run risk assessment:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --compare --protocols lido,rocket-pool,frax-ether
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH --detailed
- Export results in JSON or CSV:
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH --format json --output staking.json
Output
Comparison table ranked by risk-adjusted return (Net APY multiplied by Risk Score / 10), showing native and liquid staking options:
