If you are currenly rushing to stake $YAM, consider doing it with $AMPL, $COMP or $LEND, as the pool balances are the lowest, compared to the overall value locked.
Each pool is an equal 1/8 of the rewards. $YFI whales already high on hopium, nearly 30M locked. $WETH the same.

This is a beautiful macro game-theoretical equation. Current gas prices are high, and will only get higher. The goal is to farm as much YAM as you can and be ready to migrate to http://Curve.fi"> http://Curve.fi , before $CRV is live, and pools are getting hilarious yield.

It is even more exciting for me, as I started farming recently, with a little to no capital. The effectiveness I need to achive in this game needs to be on top.
Calculate gas prices to the overall capital, mitigate smart contract risk, and earn money after all.

$YAM with a fully decentralized distribution from a day one. Check this schedules, and make sure to properly optimise your strategy. If your cap. is low, you should migrate your farming to YAM/yCRV Uniswap pool around day 2-3 since the start of farms (19.00 UTC today).
Some idea - if my numbers are right, $LEND should increase around 3-8% in the next 3-5h, following the $COMP, since their pools rewards are nearly equally collateralized.
Interact with $YAM without the need of their front-end.

$YAM might be consider something similar to what $AMPL was trying to achive with rebases. Rebase happens twice a day:
$YAM has shown me a how mesmerizing can the DeFi race experience be. With the ruthless fluid liquidity, willing to jump throught the paths of the ETH network in a matter of seconds, rippling like the waves, one needs to constantly optimizie its strategy.
In this big events, alpha can be usually generated non-lineary. Don& #39;t just look at the schamatic way, when token X is being sourced the liquidity, then the X should pump. Most of the money on $YAM was possible to make longing $AMPL, $COMP and $LEND, by scanning the pools values.
Non-linear alpha is even more important now, when the $ETH network is clogged, and your capital is <10k $.
I have managed to pull ~19% after all the fees. It was my first DeFi farming experience, so not that bad. If I had bigger capital at the start, numbers would be better.

What should have I done? Farm with $COMP, not $LEND, as the APY was much higher, and is still ~0.74%/h. COMP also increased in value 35%, nearly 2x the $LEND.
Conclusion? If the protocol offers equal pools farming with less liquid/popular/hoarded coin, go for it.

$COMP was also constantly dumped over the last n-weeks, with the negative funding rate on perps. Traders stepped in front of DeFi players, pushing the prices higher. If I saw this potential correlation at the start of the $YAM farming, I am sure trading desks were also aware.
What& #39;s the next play here? Wave 2 of $YAP farming. Starting today at 19:00 UTC, supplying YAM/yCRV_UNI_LP pool will generate $YAM. Perfect for compounding our yield, as we farm $YAM.
yPool yield on @CurveFinance has already went from 5.29% (yesterday) to 13.26%, as traders need to swap $YAM / $yCRV with the volume nearly doubling. That + soon to be released $CRV, and @iearnfinance with a new Y strategy, should skyrocket Y pool yield.
The problem is $ETH being clogged and fees skyrocketing. Starting as a LP in Y pool on Curve is currently pretty expensive. For me it would be around 3% of my degen DeFi portfolio.
I will probably do it just for the fun and experience, but from the economic standpoint...
