I tracked the whales and found something:
While everyone screams for pumps,
Whales are quietly printing insane yields.
I dug through their playbook and found a play nobody talks about 🧵👇
As always, whales are showing how it’s done.
Now, many of them are quietly moving their capital into farming — a smart move.
As people rush into altcoins, pools are thinning out.
Fewer participants in the pools = higher yields.
I also follow alts, but no matter how bullish things look, a part of your portfolio should quietly farm risk-off yield, and whales know it.
Right now, one of the most efficient places to do that is @etherlink
Here's how I'm using it: 👇
Apple Farm is Etherlink’s $3M incentive program.
➢ 19 strategies live right now
➢ Rewards paid in applstXTZ (a staked token that yields while it vests)
➢ Partnered with top protocols like @CurveFinance, @GearboxProtocol, @Uniswap and more.
Let’s talk about one of the most active strategies.

The USDC vault on Gearbox is gaining real traction.
➢ Curated by @Re7Labs
➢ Deployed on @etherlink
➢ APR currently at ~27%, peaked at 30%+
➢ $8M+ supplied
Vault fills up fast and for good reason.
Here’s how the yield breaks down:
~3% organic from lending $USDC
~25% boosted via applstXTZ incentives
Rewards vest over 6 months but yield ~8.5% while vesting
You can even borrow against LPs and loop positions, like mRE7/USDC on Curve.
The current Gearbox vault is active from Oct 2–Oct 9, with a total of 35,000 applstXTZ allocated.
The sooner you get in, the better the APR. Vaults are dynamic and fill up fast.
Here’s how to join (and earn a bit more via referral boost): 👇

➢ Real protocol usage (not just TVL games)
➢ Sustainable incentives
➢ Seamless UX between Etherlink and Gearbox
If you’ve been looking for solid stablecoin yields that aren’t just temporary hype, this is it.
Apple Farm on @etherlink is where DeFi gets real again.
I’m already farming it. Do your own research, but don’t wait too long.
