Ethereum just turned 10. A full decade of innovation, billions secured, and zero downtime.

If you believe in ETH for the long run, ask yourself: Is your ETH working for you?

This post breaks down 3 simple ways to earn more ETH. Not by flipping tokens, but with real yield. Let’s start with the basics.

Level 1: Simple lending​

Basic yield, zero stress
If you want passive yield with minimal setup: supply ETH or wstETH to a Vesu pool.

You earn lending yield and DeFi Spring rewards. wstETH also earns staking rewards on top.

Current rates are around 4%, and go higher when markets heat up.

Risk: Like all lending platforms, there are smart contract, oracle, and pool config risks. Vesu reduces these with audits and known curators.

Level 2: Lending & Borrowing​

Double the yield
Deposit ETH or wstETH, then borrow stablecoins like USDC or USDT.

You can then deposit those stables into another Vesu pool to earn some extra yield.

Right now, you earn around 4% on your ETH, and 5–6% on the borrowed USDC. Your ETH keeps earning, while the borrowed stables generate yield on top.

Risk: Same as Level 1, plus exposure to ETH price drops. If ETH falls too much, your position can be liquidated. Start with low borrow amounts and monitor your loan-to-value ratio.

Level 3: Multiply it​

More exposure, more yield
Multiply lets you increase your exposure to Ethereum. You supply wstETH, borrow ETH, and use it to buy more wstETH. All in one transaction.

Current examples show around 10% APY with a 3x multiplier. You can pick your own level, but higher yield comes with more risk.

Risk: ETH and wstETH prices are correlated, but extreme market stress can break that link. If prices decouple too much, your position could be at risk of liquidation. Learn more about Multiply in our Docs and choose a multiplier that fits your risk tolerance.

Ethereum isn’t slowing down. Neither should your yield.

STRK is everywhere on Starknet: held in wallets, staked & supplied in DeFi. But are you using it in the way that fits you best?

This post kicks off Unlocking Vesu, a new series that dives into strategies on Vesu. No advice, no hand-holding. Just straightforward takes on yield, risk, and what to watch for.

Today’s focus is STRK. We present three levels of yield for you. This is your starting point to earn.

Level 1: Simple lending​

Plug and earn
If you want passive yield with minimal setup: Supply STRK directly to a Vesu pool.
You earn lending yield and DeFi Spring rewards.

Pool	APY	Notes
Genesis	4.5%	most liquid pool on Vesu, best to borrow other assets
Re7 xSTRK	8.4%	high borrowing demand from Multiply

Risk: Like any DeFi lending platform, there are risks around smart contracts, oracles, and pool settings. Vesu reduces these with full audits and curators that are known teams in the Starknet ecosystem.

Level 2: Extra rewards with xSTRK​

Liquid Stake and supply
You want to earn more while staying relatively low risk.

Stake STRK via Endur to mint xSTRK, then supply it to Vesu. If you want to deposit into the Re7 xSTRK pool you can also use the shortcut via Stake & Earn.

What you earn:

• Lending yield
• DeFi Spring incentives
• Staking rewards via Endur
• Endur Points (learn more here)

Pool	APY	Notes
Re7 xSTRK	11.6%	biggest xSTRK pool, STRK available to borrow
Re7 rUSDC	11.6%	use xSTRK as collateral to borrow rUSDC

Risk: Additional risks from liquid staking provider (Endur).

Level 3: Max xSTRK exposure​

Full send
You want to increase exposure and farm harder.

It works like this: Supply xSTRK as collateral → borrow STRK → convert to xSTRK → repeat.
But don't worry, Vesu's Multiply feature does all of this for you in one click. Learn how it works in our Docs.

Pool	Notes
Re7 xSTRK	Uses the same oracle for STRK and xSTRK. Strong correlation, but not risk-free

What you earn:

• Boosted staking yield
• Boosted Endur Points
• Boosted DeFi Spring rewards
• Higher organic yield from increased position size

Risk: If xSTRK depegs from STRK, you can be liquidated. Oracle settings reduces this risk, but it’s not zero.

TL;DR​

Level	What you supply	What you earn	Main risk	Pools
1	STRK	Organic yield, DeFi Spring rewards	Smart contracts, pool utilization	Genesis, Re7 xSTRK
2	xSTRK	Level 1 + staking rewards, Endur Points	Endur protocol risk	Re7 xSTRK, Re7 rUSDC
3	xSTRK (Multiply)	All of Level 2, multiplied with STRK	Liquidation, xSTRK depeg	Re7 xSTRK
