what's YieldCompass?

YieldCompass is an open-source framework and analytics platform for comparing DeFi strategies on the Solana blockchain using a standardized risk and return evaluation system. It tackles the challenges of Solana DeFi's rapid growth, where diverse protocols and yield products make objective comparisons difficult due to opaque risks and unreliable advertised yields. By providing clear, consistent metrics, it enables users to assess strategies transparently and allocate capital intelligently. Risk is evaluated via a structured scoring system that categorizes strategies into risk components with uniform criteria applicable across types, yielding ratings like A or B scores. Realized returns are tracked through on-chain yield data with a common methodology, focusing on actual performance over 14-day periods rather than promotional APYs. Users can filter and sort by risk rating, protocol, asset, TVL, and more, promoting a healthier, more credible Solana DeFi ecosystem.
