DeFi on Base
Overview of the Base DeFi ecosystem — protocols, TVL, and integration patterns.
Key Protocols
| Protocol | Category | TVL | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aerodrome | DEX (ve3,3) | Highest on Base | Base-native, AERO incentives |
| Uniswap V3 | DEX (CL) | High | Most liquid pairs |
| Aave V3 | Lending | High | Battle-tested, multi-collateral |
| Moonwell | Lending | Medium | Base-native Compound fork |
| Compound V3 | Lending | Medium | Single-asset isolation |
| Morpho | Lending | Growing | P2P rate optimization |
| Extra Finance | Leveraged yield | Medium | Auto-leveraged farming |
| BaseSwap | DEX (V2) | Medium | Simple swaps |

DeFi Strategy Decision Tree
What do you want to do?
├── Hold stablecoins → Lend on Aave/Moonwell (3-8% APY)
├── Trade tokens → Uniswap V3 or Aerodrome
├── Earn yield on ETH → cbETH staking + LP
├── Leveraged position → Aave borrow loop (see leverage-trading)
├── Provide liquidity → Aerodrome (incentivized) or Uniswap V3 (fees)
└── Cross-chain bridge → CCTP for USDC (see cctp)
DeFi Safety Tiers
| Tier | Risk | Protocols |
|---|---|---|
| Blue chip | Low | Aave, Uniswap, Compound |
| Established | Low-Med | Aerodrome, Moonwell, Morpho |
| Emerging | Medium | Newer forks, less audited |
| Degen | High | Unaudited, high APY |
Rule: Start with blue chip. Only move down tiers with explicit human approval and small positions.
Integration Patterns
All Base DeFi protocols follow standard patterns:
1. Approve token spend (ERC-20 approve or permit)
2. Call protocol function (swap, supply, borrow)
3. Handle events (Transfer, Swap, Supply)
