How to Automate Your Yield Farming With vFat — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00What's up guys? In this video I will
- 0:02show you guys how to yield farm using
- 0:04Vfat. Vfat is a position management
- 0:07platform where it makes it easier to
- 0:09manage multiple positions if you're
- 0:12yield farming a lot of different pairs.
- 0:14But before we dive in, let me just show
- 0:16you guys my portfolio. If you're new
- 0:18here, my name is Richard. My channel is
- 0:20mainly about yield farming because I
- 0:22find that yield farming is one of the
- 0:24most profitable thing that I found in
- 0:26crypto. If you guys look at my current
- 0:29open positions, I'm sitting in a seven
- 0:31Ethereum profit while earning some
- 0:34really nice fees here. My closed
- 0:36position totals to 8.6 Ethereum profit.
- 0:39If you add those two numbers together,
- 0:41it's roughly 16 Ethereum profit. And I
- 0:44also have this wallet set up where my
- 0:46goal is not to make an Ethereum profit,
- 0:48but a US dollar profit while earning
- 0:51some really nice cash flow. And if you
- 0:53look at my combined yield farming
- 0:55wallet, you can see I'm earning a
- 0:57roughly 50% APR on my capital right now,
- 1:00beating impermanent loss pretty
- 1:01consistently here. If you add all of my
- 1:04closed positions, I've had a pretty good
- 1:07track record so far compared to just
- 1:09holding in the market. So hopefully this
- 1:11channel I would help you guys become a
- 1:13better yield farmer. But again, nothing
- 1:15I say is financial advice. Please do
- 1:18your own research before making any
- 1:19investment decision. And sorry about the
- 1:22voice, I'm slightly under the weather.
- 1:24But hopefully this video would help you
- 1:26guys out a lot. So if we pull up Vfat
- 1:28here, if we click on this yield tab, we
- 1:31could go to this pool tab where we could
- 1:34see a bunch of different liquidity pool
- 1:36that we could deposit into. And if I
- 1:38already am in a position, for example,
- 1:41then I also see this as well. So I could
- 1:43deposit my liquidity pool NFT if I want
- 1:47Vfat to manage my position. It doesn't
- 1:49support all chains and sometimes it
- 1:51misses some assets. But you guys could
- 1:54go to the setting tab here and look for
- 1:57the chains that you want to yield farm
- 1:59on, as well as the different protocols
- 2:01that you want to yield farm with. And
- 2:03you can search by asset as well. Let's
- 2:05say I want to do only Ethereum to US
- 2:08dollar pairs, then it pulls up a bunch
- 2:11of different pairs that I could analyze.
- 2:13And this APR number might not be
- 2:15accurate because I've actually did like
- 2:18an analysis on a lot of these pools. And
- 2:20so the actual APR could be very
- 2:22different from what it shows here, but
- 2:24it just gives you a very nice overview
- 2:26of the available pools, as well as give
- 2:29you the ability to deposit very easily.
- 2:32And I could mark as favorite as well if
- 2:34there's a pool that I like. For example,
- 2:36I was using this Ethereum to USDC pool
- 2:39on Arbitrum for quite a while. So I
- 2:42could bookmark it, and I could look at
- 2:44all of these details here. For example,
- 2:46the last 7 days worth of fees, what's
- 2:48the current total value locked, and then
- 2:50deposit my position there. So for a
- 2:52crypto to stable pool, typically I want
- 2:55to use the stable coin as my quote asset
- 2:58because I want to see the Ethereum price
- 3:00in stable coin terms, right? In US
- 3:03dollar terms. And I could change my
- 3:04range here directly, right? Minus and
- 3:07plus.
- 3:08It's in percentage terms. So if it's
- 3:10minus 50%, then it's taking this current
- 3:13price minus 50%, and this is my bottom
- 3:16range. And if I want the top range to be
- 3:1950% wide as well, then this is the rough
- 3:22range that I would get. I go over
- 3:24exactly how you guys can set your range
- 3:27in other videos on my channel, so be
- 3:29sure to look at that. But if I want to
- 3:31be a longer-term investor, I'm not
- 3:34really going to set a tight range to try
- 3:37to basically squeeze the range and get
- 3:39the maximum APR and kind of chase the
- 3:42range as the price moves. For example,
- 3:44some people set pretty tight ranges here
- 3:47on like their liquidity pools, and then
- 3:49they earn a lot of fees when the price
- 3:51is in range, right? But when there's a
- 3:53big move in the market, which it often
- 3:56happens, like what we're seeing
- 3:57recently, you missed out on a lot of the
- 3:59pump, and then you're basically forced
- 4:01to rebalance. When you rebalance, you
- 4:04lock in a ton of impermanent loss.
- 4:06You're buying a lot of Ethereum at this
- 4:08higher price. When Ethereum's price
- 4:10draws down, you're fully into Ethereum
- 4:13again, and then you lose a bunch of
- 4:15money. And then people basically just
- 4:17keep chasing the range down, rebalancing
- 4:20down, down, down, down until they reach
- 4:22the bottom here, and then when the price
- 4:24rips back up again, then they would lose
- 4:26money, right? So, I want to avoid that,
- 4:29and I want typically have a market bias
- 4:32on where this price is going to go. For
- 4:34example, if I'm comfortable taking
- 4:36profit on my Ethereum, I might be
- 4:39selling some at this current price and
- 4:41get into a more bullish liquidity pool,
- 4:44right? Let's say the bottom range starts
- 4:46at around 2300. I could do that, and
- 4:49then the upper range could be all the
- 4:52way at $6,000, or even higher at
- 4:55$10,000, for example. If I believe that
- 4:58Ethereum's price is going to trend
- 5:00upward for the next 6 to 12 months, this
- 5:03is a possible range that I could get
- 5:05into. And before you guys actually get
- 5:07into the position, be sure to run the
- 5:10simulations on like how much fees you
- 5:13could generate, what's the impermanent
- 5:15loss, and what's the total profit loss
- 5:17you can make when the prices go up. So,
- 5:20you basically want to make sure you know
- 5:22all of that beforehand, and I go over a
- 5:25lot of that in my YouTube channel. Like
- 5:27for example, how to calculate
- 5:29impermanent loss, how to set ranges and
- 5:32stuff like that. So, be sure to learn
- 5:34more about that. But for this video, I
- 5:36just want to demo VFAT and how to use
- 5:39it. For example, if I want to set the
- 5:41range near what I was saying, right?
- 5:43Let's adjust this to maybe minus 10%.
- 5:46So, 10% is 2500. It's a little bit
- 5:49tighter than what I would like. So,
- 5:51maybe I would drop down to minus 20,
- 5:53roughly $2300 mark, like what we were
- 5:56looking at right here, right? And the
- 5:59price should be supported by this blue
- 6:0120-week exponential moving average,
- 6:04which is this blue line here. So, I
- 6:06could set my range to be slightly lower
- 6:08than that if I want a bullish range to
- 6:11capture the upside. And the max price I
- 6:13could play with the numbers a little bit
- 6:15here. And you guys can choose which
- 6:17token you want to send in, right? For
- 6:19example, if I want to deposit Ethereum,
- 6:22I could do that. And I could deposit
- 6:24however amount of Ethereum that I want.
- 6:28Let's do around 0.005 for this example.
- 6:31I'm just going to use a small amount for
- 6:33this example as a demo. And I could
- 6:36basically choose if I want automated
- 6:38rebalancing or automated harvesting and
- 6:42auto compounding. So, if I want
- 6:44automated rebalancing, it shows a
- 6:46warning here that I would need at least
- 6:48$2,000 in capital to make it more
- 6:51feasible. So, with a very small amount,
- 6:54I wouldn't be using this. And you could
- 6:56choose if you want to compound your
- 6:58rewards or harvest your rewards
- 7:00separately when you rebalance. And then
- 7:03if I tick this on, my reward would be
- 7:05harvested separately when you rebalance.
- 7:09And then I could also choose if I want
- 7:11to convert my reward into Ethereum,
- 7:13USDC, or whatever tokens I'm bullish on
- 7:16as well. Or turn it off if you just want
- 7:18to collect whatever Ethereum and USDC
- 7:21you earn. And here I could set the
- 7:24conditions where my pools would
- 7:25rebalance. And this buffer basically
- 7:28means that it would take place once the
- 7:30price reaches that range. So, lower
- 7:33buffer margin, let's say I put like 10%.
- 7:36Then when the price is actually reaches
- 7:38like this $2,000 something dollars mark,
- 7:41then my pool would rebalance once it has
- 7:43dropped more than 10% out of range,
- 7:46right? But I could also put like a
- 7:49negative number here. Let's say negative
- 7:5110. If I want to rebalance a little bit
- 7:54earlier before my pool gets out of
- 7:56range. And I could do the same with the
- 7:58upper, right? Like 10% on the upper if
- 8:01Ethereum breaks out to the top side, I
- 8:03could choose to rebalance. Or I could
- 8:06add a buffer of minus 10% here. This is
- 8:09typically what automated rebalancing
- 8:11tools do. They have like a negative
- 8:14buffer here. For example, if Ethereum's
- 8:16price goes to 2500, it would trigger a
- 8:19rebalance on the lower side, and then my
- 8:22pool would be basically rebalanced down.
- 8:24So, it's going to set like the same
- 8:26parameters, minus 20%, and then a
- 8:29increase of roughly 128%
- 8:32from the new price. Let's say it drops
- 8:34to 2520,
- 8:36then it would shift the range there,
- 8:38right? Based on this parameter. And then
- 8:41you can set a cutoff price too. Like,
- 8:43let's say you don't want to keep
- 8:45rebalancing downwards, you can set a
- 8:47cutoff point. Let's say I don't want to
- 8:49keep rebalancing down and essentially
- 8:51selling my Ethereum when Ethereum drops
- 8:54below 2000, then I could set that as
- 8:57well. So, these are all parameters that
- 8:59you can set, but I personally don't use
- 9:02a lot of automated rebalancing because
- 9:04when you guys rebalance, you actually
- 9:06lock in a lot of impermanent loss if
- 9:09you're not doing it properly, and I
- 9:11think it should be more of a deliberate
- 9:13process rather than like an automated
- 9:16thing. And automated pools typically get
- 9:19like shredded and destroyed by
- 9:21impermanent loss. So, if I take this off
- 9:23here, I could focus on these other ones.
- 9:26And I will show you guys these like
- 9:28automated vaults, for example, on Beefy
- 9:30or Gamma right now. So, this is the
- 9:33exact pair that we were looking at, but
- 9:35it's on SushiSwap on Arbitrum. If we
- 9:38look at Ethereum's price here, you can
- 9:40see roughly 1 year ago in July 23rd,
- 9:442024, Ethereum's price was trading at
- 9:473479. Currently, Ethereum is trading at
- 9:502794.
- 9:52So, let's see what's the drawdown,
- 9:54right? Let's say what's the total loss
- 9:57if you deposited like roughly 1 year ago
- 10:00compared to what your Ethereum would be
- 10:02worth right now, assuming you didn't add
- 10:04any position when like the prices is low
- 10:07or sell some when the prices are high,
- 10:09right? So, what we can do is 3479
- 10:13- 2794.
- 10:15So, 3479
- 10:182794.
- 10:20So, that's our total unrealized loss if
- 10:22we're still sitting in Ethereum. And
- 10:24then if we divide by our initial
- 10:26investment 1 year ago at 3479, you're
- 10:29down roughly 20%, right? 19.6%
- 10:33not too horrible, especially if you are
- 10:36bullish on Ethereum and you believe the
- 10:38price is going to rise over time. But if
- 10:41we look at this price, it's basically
- 10:43how much your liquidity pool would be
- 10:45worth if you were yield farming with
- 10:47this automated tool. So, you can see a
- 10:50huge decline here. If we look at the
- 10:52beginning price, it's around 1 trillion
- 10:55compared to now, it's around 526
- 10:59billion. So, you're really you're down
- 11:01more than 40%, roughly 47% compared to
- 11:05being down only 20%. This pool is
- 11:08actually really bad. It's
- 11:10underperforming holding by quite a lot.
- 11:13And you can see a bunch of people are
- 11:15actually still in this pool, like almost
- 11:18a million dollars that's deposited in
- 11:20Beefy, and their capital is basically
- 11:23going to zero or decreasing over time.
- 11:26Because again, they're chasing the range
- 11:28like what I just talked about earlier
- 11:30where it's like rebalancing very
- 11:32aggressively with very tight ranges.
- 11:35Sometimes the range becomes a little bit
- 11:37wider, but the range overall is still
- 11:40very tight. So, that's how most yield
- 11:42farmers play this game of yield farming,
- 11:45and then they end up with a loss just
- 11:47because they're chasing the range and
- 11:49not using the right strategy. So,
- 11:51automated rebalancing is definitely not
- 11:54a good thing in my opinion, and you
- 11:57should avoid it if possible. And let's
- 12:00look at this Uniswap pool what we were
- 12:02looking at. If we go back to Beefy here,
- 12:04you can see the total value locked is
- 12:06around 58 million, roughly the same as
- 12:09this total value locked here, so it's
- 12:11probably the same pool or very similar
- 12:14pool, and the price of Ethereum loss is
- 12:16roughly the same as what we were
- 12:18computing. This pool started a little
- 12:20bit earlier, so 3559
- 12:23versus 2794. Now, if we calculate the
- 12:26loss, 3559 - 2794 right now, it's a $765
- 12:32loss
- 12:33divided by our initial investment at
- 12:363559,
- 12:37you would be down 22% roughly, right? If
- 12:41you were to buy Ethereum roughly 1 years
- 12:43ago. But, if we look at this price chart
- 12:45again, it's just completely horrible,
- 12:47right? You start here at 972 billion,
- 12:51and it has moved all the way down to
- 12:53668. So, if we take the like front three
- 12:57number, right? 972
- 13:00668,
- 13:02304 / 972. So, your loss would have been
- 13:0731% if you were yield farming rather
- 13:10than just holding your Ethereum or
- 13:13staking your Ethereum. So, over a year,
- 13:16you suffered a 31% loss while taking on
- 13:19much more risk for no reason, right?
- 13:21Because again, these automated tools are
- 13:24basically chasing the ranges, and it's
- 13:26not profitable at all. So, this APY is
- 13:30actually like more harmful than good.
- 13:32People that deposited this like almost 2
- 13:35million dollars in here are basically
- 13:37just losing their capital over time,
- 13:40especially when the market is really
- 13:42volatile. If the market is really slow
- 13:44moving, like if it's just trending up
- 13:46over time very very slowly, then I could
- 13:50see this
- 13:51strategy like making sense. But, for
- 13:53most pools, even if it's pulling like a
- 13:56ton of APR, right? If we scroll here,
- 13:59the average APR is roughly like 149%
- 14:03over 1 year, but you're still at a huge
- 14:05net loss compared to holding because
- 14:08again, these automated tools are
- 14:09actually squeezing the range, and it's
- 14:12actually losing a lot of investor money.
- 14:14So, if you guys are starting out, I
- 14:16would encourage a wider range strategy.
- 14:19Take off this automated rebalancing. You
- 14:22don't need it. If anything, you could
- 14:24use this automated reward, which is much
- 14:26better, and you could choose to auto
- 14:28compound the fees. So, auto compounding,
- 14:31what it does is it harvests your fees,
- 14:33and then make any swaps necessary to
- 14:36basically keep growing your capital
- 14:38inside the pool, right? And auto
- 14:40compounding could make sense if you
- 14:42don't care that much about cash flow.
- 14:44You just want to grow your capital,
- 14:46and you don't mind where the price is
- 14:48going as long as you're bullish on both
- 14:51assets. And this probably makes more
- 14:52sense for like crypto-to-crypto pools if
- 14:55you're trying to accumulate both assets,
- 14:57rather than crypto-to-stable pool, where
- 15:00you might not want to compound all the
- 15:01time, right? So, if you don't want to
- 15:03auto compound, you could also auto
- 15:06harvest here. It could convert your
- 15:08reward to a specific token. For example,
- 15:11if I'm trying to de-risk aggressively,
- 15:14then I don't want to basically convert
- 15:16to more Ethereum. The goal of this pool,
- 15:18if I have a bullish range, is to slowly
- 15:21sell my Ethereum into USDC while earning
- 15:24some nice fees in the process. So, then
- 15:26my goal might be to auto harvest my
- 15:29reward into USDC in this case. And
- 15:31there's auto exit as well. If I want to
- 15:34protect my capital, for example, or I
- 15:36want to set a take profit target, let's
- 15:39say I want to exit when Ethereum's price
- 15:41goes above $6,000,
- 15:43I want to convert whatever's remaining
- 15:46into the pool into stablecoin, I could
- 15:48set this setting here. So, when this
- 15:50price of Ethereum reaches 6,000,
- 15:53Beefy.Finance would withdraw my
- 15:54liquidity and sell everything into USDC.
- 15:58And you could switch like the upper
- 16:00trigger and the lower trigger off as
- 16:02well. If you're using this pool to
- 16:04dollar cost average into Ethereum, for
- 16:06example, then I could set this exit
- 16:09range to be at, let's say, 1,500, where
- 16:12I'm fine with converting whatever USDC I
- 16:15have left into Ethereum. So, this tool
- 16:17could be great as well if you're setting
- 16:20an automated exit. Or if you guys are
- 16:22setting like a stop loss, you could do
- 16:24this as well. Let's say you're yield
- 16:26farming Ethereum, but you don't believe
- 16:29that it's going to break 2300, right?
- 16:32And you want to cut your losses if
- 16:35Ethereum drops below that, so then you
- 16:37could set like 2300 and then exit to
- 16:40USDC. If your goal is trying to make a
- 16:43USDC profit on the way up, similar to
- 16:46how you would set a stop loss for a
- 16:48trade. And you can see the transactions
- 16:50that are happening here. For example,
- 16:52I'm swapping my Ethereum
- 16:54for some USDC in this case, very little
- 16:57of it, right? I'm depositing .005
- 17:00Ethereum and I'm swapping only .00084
- 17:04into USDC. So, less than 20% of my
- 17:08capital because I have a bullish range,
- 17:10right? And then it's going to deposit
- 17:12the liquidity for me and there's a very
- 17:15low protocol fee of .09%
- 17:18when there's a swap that takes place.
- 17:21So, that's something to keep in mind.
- 17:22There's some fees associated with it and
- 17:25let's take a look at that right now. So,
- 17:27in their docs, you can see here, if
- 17:29you're depositing the NFT directly
- 17:32manually, like for example, I have this
- 17:34hyper liquid pool. If I were to deposit
- 17:36manually because I make all my swaps
- 17:39manually, right? That's what you want to
- 17:41do if you have a lot of capital so you
- 17:43can save on the fees. If you're
- 17:45depositing both underlying tokens, like
- 17:47for the example of Ethereum to USDC, if
- 17:51I deposit those two tokens separately,
- 17:53then it would be free, right? But if I
- 17:56deposit only Ethereum for example, and
- 17:59Beefy automatically swaps it for me,
- 18:01then there's a small .09% fee. If I
- 18:05withdraw my NFT or my liquidity, then
- 18:08it's 0% fee. But again, if there's a
- 18:10swap that takes place, there's a .09%
- 18:14fee. And I believe this fee applies on
- 18:17your total capital. So, if you have like
- 18:19a $100,000, for example, multiply that
- 18:22by .00009,
- 18:24you would pay $90 for the fat to
- 18:27basically like automate this whole
- 18:29process for you. So, it's not too bad at
- 18:32all when you use these other features
- 18:34like harvesting, compounding,
- 18:36rebalancing, these are the fees that
- 18:38they would take. So, harvesting and
- 18:41compounding manually, the fees is not
- 18:43that high at all, less than 1% of your
- 18:45reward. Auto harvest, a little bit
- 18:48higher, 1.2%. Auto compound, 1.8%. Still
- 18:52not bad at all. But, what would really
- 18:54kill you is this rebalancing here,
- 18:56especially if you're doing it very often
- 18:59because it takes a cut of your whole
- 19:01position, not your rewards, right? .05%
- 19:05for the higher fee tier pools, that's
- 19:07above like .3%, for example, the 1% fee
- 19:10tier pools, then you would pay like .05%
- 19:13of your position every time you
- 19:15rebalance. But, if you guys are like me
- 19:17where rebalance very often at all, if I
- 19:20do rebalance at all, then this is not a
- 19:23big deal, right? And auto rebalance,
- 19:25again, is the same as manual. If you
- 19:27guys are doing something like this, like
- 19:29what Beefy is doing, then you might as
- 19:32well just deposit into Beefy and let
- 19:34them do it for you. But again, we were
- 19:37looking at the price, right? It doesn't
- 19:39make sense to invest into this pool if
- 19:42this pool is basically declining in
- 19:44value over time. You guys are better
- 19:46just like holding stable coins and like
- 19:49letting it out, right, rather than just
- 19:51letting this bleed out over time. So, I
- 19:53hope that makes sense. And if I want to
- 19:55deposit right now, I could hit deposit.
- 19:58And lastly, you could buy insurance for
- 20:00your position as well. If my position is
- 20:03bigger, then it might be worth it to buy
- 20:05some insurance if I'm worried about the
- 20:07protocol hacks. Let's say if I were to
- 20:09deposit 10 Ethereum, then my insurance
- 20:12is roughly 115 USDC. You can consider
- 20:16that as an option, or you can use other
- 20:18insurance providers as well since this
- 20:21is quite expensive, but let's change
- 20:23this back to the amount of deposit at
- 20:260.005. And if I'm happy with my choice,
- 20:29for example, I want automated reward
- 20:32with auto harvesting, I want my max
- 20:34price to be roughly 10,000. If I'm happy
- 20:37with that, I would hit deposit. I have
- 20:40Pocket Universe extension for a added
- 20:43layer of protection. I hit continue, and
- 20:45then I hit confirm. So, this is actually
- 20:48deploying a fresh contract that is used
- 20:51to basically manage your position on
- 20:53Arbitrum. So, I haven't deposited any
- 20:56funds yet. Once that's done, I'm going
- 20:58to be able to swap into my position here
- 21:01with only Ethereum.
- 21:03Pay a little bit of fee.
- 21:05Hit confirm, and then I could enable
- 21:07automation here and hit confirm. And if
- 21:10I go to this deposit tab, I see my
- 21:13position right here. And you can see
- 21:16your daily reward, your yearly reward,
- 21:18your monthly reward, depending on the
- 21:20APR. This is not that accurate, but you
- 21:23can still take a look anyway. And here
- 21:26you can manage your position, right? You
- 21:28can harvest, you can compound, you can
- 21:30exit to Ethereum, or you can withdraw
- 21:33your position manually here, all into
- 21:35Ethereum or the NFT itself. You can take
- 21:38that out as well if you want to use
- 21:41other management platforms like Revert
- 21:43Finance, you can do that or auto swap
- 21:46into other tokens. So, this is actually
- 21:49really nice, and you can rebalance here
- 21:51as well. But keep in mind again what I
- 21:53said about rebalancing and locking in
- 21:56your impermanent loss. And you can
- 21:57change your compounding and harvesting
- 22:00settings as well, right? If you don't
- 22:02want it to auto harvest, then you can
- 22:04turn this off as well. So, that's pretty
- 22:06much it. I hope that makes sense. It's
- 22:09definitely a good tool to use if you
- 22:11guys are managing a ton of different
- 22:13positions or running like a smaller cap
- 22:16altcoin strategy, for example, where you
- 22:19want to be more well diversified, then
- 22:21you can set up Beefy to basically
- 22:23automate your process. You can look at
- 22:26their docs as well. Make sure you read
- 22:28through like their audits if you're
- 22:29worried about the contract safety
- 22:31because we're interacting with more
- 22:33smart contract. There is some smart
- 22:35contract risk here. So, I wouldn't put
- 22:38like 100% of my yield farming capital
- 22:40here either if I want to automate my
- 22:42process. And make sure if you guys are
- 22:45yield farming with a lot of capital,
- 22:47then you should use a separate hardware
- 22:49wallet that interacts directly with
- 22:51Beefy. That's separate from like your
- 22:54cold storage wallet. So, then in case
- 22:56your computer gets hacked, these
- 22:58positions are not touched, right? If you
- 23:00guys are using a hot wallet, then if
- 23:02your private key gets compromised, your
- 23:05computer got hacked, then these funds
- 23:07would be hacked as well. So, I hope that
- 23:09video helped. And if you guys want to
- 23:11learn more about yield farming, be sure
- 23:13to check these other videos out. I try
- 23:15my best to help you guys become a more
- 23:18consistently profitable yield farmer.
- 23:20You could also switch on the
- 23:22notification bell if you want to be
- 23:24notified when I publish new videos.
- 23:26Thank you once again for watching. I'll
- 23:28catch you guys next time.
