The yield feature of self-custody wallets is becoming a new trend in the market, and this change is quite interesting.

More users are beginning to realize a contradiction: they don't want to entrust all their assets to centralized platforms, yet they desire stable returns. Traditional solutions either require you to give up self-custody to earn yields or allow self-custody but offer zero income. Now, this pattern is being broken.

The idea behind these new products is very clear—completely maintain control of self-custody while integrating yield mechanisms from multiple mainstream blockchains. The Solana ecosystem is particularly active, with relatively attractive APY performance. The key is that funds are not locked; you can withdraw your principal whenever you want. This flexibility is a real necessity for self-custody users.

From the user's perspective, this is indeed an attractive option—allowing idle assets to generate returns while maintaining on-chain autonomy. In the future, self-custody combined with liquidity solutions for DeFi yields will become increasingly common.

Finally, someone has explained this thoroughly. The combination of self-custody + yield really hits the pain points. Self-custody can also make money? Isn't that what we've been wanting all along... Solana's APY is indeed attractive, but is the liquidity really reliable? Still the same old tricks. I have to applaud the fact that funds are not locked. Self-custody users are most afraid of getting trapped. By the way, could this kind of product be associated with some hidden risks? Need to be cautious. Life winner, wanting both safety and returns. Is there really such a good thing now? I am optimistic about DeFi, but we need to find a solution that doesn't involve pitfalls. The logic of generating returns from idle assets is sound, but the question is: who will guarantee this yield?

To be honest, this is exactly what I've been waiting for. Self-custody can also earn yields? You've hit the nail on the head. It feels like the Solana ecosystem is really competitive now, with a decent APY. The key point is that funds can be withdrawn at any time, which is the real deal. Wait, could there still be hidden risks with these kinds of products... I need to review the audit reports again. Haha, well, it's better than dumping coins on centralized exchanges. At least I still hold the private keys and can sleep peacefully. Now, self-custody users can really turn things around. The days of zero income are over.

Someone finally said it clearly: self-custody and yield farming really don't have to be mutually exclusive. Wait, is the APY on Solana really that stable? Has anyone tested it? Self-custody can still earn passive income, sounds great, but could it become the next source of risk? Not being locked in really hits home for me; I finally don't have to sell myself for returns. This is exactly what I want—being able to manage my assets myself without risking bankruptcy.

Finally, someone has solved the deadlock between self-custody and yield. Impressive. The SOL ecosystem is really heating up this time, and the APY is also quite good. But can we really say liquidity isn't locked? Let's take another look. This is what I want—the coins in my hands can still earn passive income.

Finally, I don't have to choose between self-custody and yields anymore. This is what I wanted. Solana's recent moves are indeed solid; liquidity is strong and flexible withdrawals, much better than those lock-up garbage projects. Managing your own money and still earning returns? Isn't this what Web3 is supposed to be? Nah, I don't believe it. It must be another air project hyping concepts. Wait, can it really not be locked? Were all those "high yields" before just scams to get us to put in our money?
