Step 2: Choose Your Savings Product

2

Select Asset and Terms
Choose your cryptocurrency:
  1. Browse available assets (BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, etc.)
  2. Review current APY rates for each asset
  3. Check minimum deposit requirements if any
  4. Consider asset volatility vs. interest earned
  5. Click on the asset you want to deposit
Select savings type:
Flexible Savings

No lock period, withdraw anytime

USDT:4.5% APY
BTC:3.2% APY
ETH:3.8% APY
Locked 90-Day

Highest returns, locked for 90 days

USDT:12% APY
BTC:8.5% APY
ETH:10.2% APY
Pro Tip: Maximize Your Returns

For stablecoins like USDT or USDC, locked savings offer significantly higher returns with minimal additional risk since price volatility isn't a concern. For volatile assets like BTC or ETH, flexible savings may be better if you want to sell during price spikes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Locking Volatile Assets for Too Long

Don't lock highly volatile cryptocurrencies like BTC or ETH for 90 days during bull markets. You might miss opportunities to sell at peak prices. Use flexible savings instead or shorter lock periods.

Ignoring APY Rate Changes

Savings APY rates fluctuate based on market demand. What starts at 10% could drop to 6% next month. Check rates regularly and consider withdrawing/redepositing if better opportunities arise.

Not Diversifying Savings

Don't put all your savings in one asset or one lock period. Spread across multiple cryptocurrencies and use a mix of flexible and locked products for balance between returns and liquidity.

Forgetting About Maturity Dates

Set calendar reminders for locked savings maturity dates. If you don't redeem or reinvest manually, some platforms automatically convert to flexible savings at lower rates.

Underestimating Smart Contract Risk

DeFi savings products carry smart contract risk. While rare, exploits can happen. Never deposit more than you can afford to lose, and verify the platform's insurance coverage.

Chasing High APY Without Research

Extremely high APY rates (>20%) often indicate high risk. Research the asset, protocol security, and sustainability before depositing. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Risk Management

Understand the Risks

Smart Contract Risk: Savings products use smart contracts that could have vulnerabilities. Only use reputable platforms with audited contracts.

Platform Risk: If NYYU faces financial difficulties, savings could be at risk despite insurance. Diversify across multiple platforms.

Market Risk: While you earn interest, the underlying asset price can drop. A 10% APY doesn't help if BTC drops 30%.

Liquidity Risk: Locked savings means you can't access funds for emergencies without penalty. Keep some assets in flexible savings or your wallet.

Rate Risk: APY rates change frequently. Your 12% rate today might be 6% tomorrow, though locked rates are guaranteed until maturity.

Pro Tips for Maximum Returns

Ladder Your Maturities

Split deposits across different lock periods (30, 60, 90 days) so you have regular access to portions of your funds while maintaining higher rates.

Use Stablecoins for Locked

Lock USDT/USDC for maximum periods to capture highest rates without price volatility risk. Perfect for "set and forget" passive income.

Auto-Compound Everything

Enable automatic reinvestment on all positions. The power of compound interest significantly boosts returns over time - can add 1-2% to effective APY.

Monitor Rate Changes

Set up notifications for rate changes. When flexible savings rates drop significantly, consider moving to locked products or other platforms for better returns.
