I usually do a quick round-up of my current DeFi investments each month to report back what\u2019s working and what isn\u2019t. This is the first one of\u00a02025.<\/p>\n
First up is Pryzm<\/strong><\/a>. I wrote an article on the platform a while ago\u00a0here<\/a>:<\/p>\n 52% APR on Pryzm Blockchain<\/a><\/p>\n I have been staking and providing liquidity in their various options for a few weeks, and I have been accumulating rewards.<\/p>\n As of today <\/em>I have earned over 75’000 photons in rewards and approximately 84 Pryzm\u00a0tokens.<\/strong><\/p>\n This puts me at 867th on the current leaderboard, not that I\u2019m really following that, but it helps to give one some perspective on one\u2019s investments.<\/p>\n <\/a>Screenshot of author\u2019s account in the\u00a0platform<\/p>\n The Pryzm user-base is growing steadily and is currently at 52,182<\/strong> participants. There has been $24.08M<\/strong> TVL already deposited into the platform! All these investors will share at least 50,000,000<\/strong> PRYZM tokens (5%<\/strong> of the genesis supply). Simply deposit into a liquidity pool and earn up to 87.76%<\/strong> Real Yield plus 60 Photons per dollar per\u00a0day!<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out Pryzm\u00a0here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n ***********************<\/p>\n You can <\/em>join my Telegram group\u00a0here<\/em><\/strong><\/a>Follow me on <\/em>Medium<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0here.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ***********************<\/p>\n The Haven<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is a trading community built by seasoned analysts to help you sharpen your trading skills, refine your strategies, and navigate the crypto and stock markets with confidence.

We have opened an early investor round where you can be rewarded for being one of the first to get your NFTs for the game. Guaranteed bonuses include valuable extra NFTs for the Kings of Red game as well NFT packs for other popular games such as Nifty Kicks Factory and Farmer Pets. Investor packages range from as little as $95 all the way to\u00a0$970.<\/strong><\/p>\n So for example, you select Package #3 and invest $350. You then receive playable NFTs worth $425 <\/strong>at the first Drop. As extra bonuses you also receive a referral code<\/strong> to earn commission on the Drop as well as airdropped tokens<\/strong> at the first token burning session, as well as NFT packs<\/strong> for other\u00a0games.<\/p>\n Reach out to me on my Telegram group here<\/a> for more details, or leave your contact details in the comments and I\u2019ll get back to\u00a0you.<\/p>\n Toon Pool <\/strong><\/a>is a simple staking dApp on the Solana chain. You go to the dApp and claim your reward if you have been referred by someone<\/a>. Then you can convert your SOL to TOON and stake it. The TOON costs a fraction of a cent so it\u2019s easy to get a lot of it at the moment. There are currently over 60 billions tokens\u00a0staked.<\/p>\n These types of platforms always need to come with a warning; you could potentially make decent money with them, but once the TVL is drained then the payouts will stop. I used a Phantom wallet to connect the site. This is more of a degen play and I would recommend only using risk\u00a0capital.<\/p>\n How does it\u00a0work?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n You deposit your Toon tokens into the platform\u2019s staking pool for a specific period. These tokens are then locked and used to support the platform\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n Earn Rewards:While your tokens are staked, you earn rewards based on the Annual Percentage Yield (APY). The reward rate depends on factors like the total staked amount, staking duration, and market conditions.<\/p>\n Flexible Options:Depending on the platform\u2019s rules, you can choose between fixed-term or flexible staking: Fixed-term staking offers higher APY but requires you to lock tokens for a predetermined time. Flexible staking allows you to withdraw tokens anytime but may offer lower\u00a0rewards.<\/p>\n Claim Rewards:Rewards are typically distributed periodically and can be claimed through your dashboard. These rewards can either be reinvested into staking or withdrawn to your\u00a0wallet.<\/p>\n Gate<\/strong><\/a> is one of my favorite crypto exchanges to use (after Nexo). Gate currently has some brilliant staking and lending options with good APRs. They also have a nice Launchpool where you can earn tokens from up and coming projects\u00a0easily.<\/p>\n There is wide range of coins that you can earn interest on, check out these great\u00a0APRs:<\/p>\n Not so much as investment that earns you ROI, but an investment into yourself and lets the people around you know that you are serious about crypto.
