Strategy overview
This Kamino Multiply strategy uses PYUSD as collateral to borrow USDS, then converts the borrowed USDS into more PYUSD. The loop can amplify PYUSD yield, but it also increases liquidation risk.
- How it works:
- Your PYUSD is supplied as collateral, USDS is borrowed against it, and the borrowed USDS is swapped back into more PYUSD — repeated to reach the target leverage. You earn the supply yield on the full looped amount, minus the cost of borrowing USDS.
- What you hold:
- A leveraged PYUSD collateral position with USDS debt managed inside the lending market.
- Who runs it:
- Kamino — live since 2022 · audited by 5 firms · no known incidents

Elevated risk · Grade D
61/100
- Uses borrowed money, which magnifies losses — up to 5x leverage (liquidation at 90% LTV).
- Control over the protocol's code matters — upgradeable behind a multisig (threshold undisclosed).
- USDS's backing carries more risk than plain cash reserves — crypto-backed.

What can go wrong
- Liquidation: if your loan-to-value rises above 90%, the position is liquidated and you can lose collateral. Higher leverage sits closer to this line.
- Depeg: if USDS loses its peg, your effective LTV can spike and trigger liquidation even without a price drop in PYUSD.
- Rate risk: the loop is only profitable while the PYUSD supply yield stays above the USDS borrow cost — that spread can compress or turn negative.

How we rate risk
Stablecoin strategies get a 0–100 risk score (lower is safer) built from three areas — Protocol (audits, incident history, track record and admin controls), Strategy (leverage, lock-ups, pool size and yield source) and Asset (the token's peg record, backing, and exit liquidity) — weighted by strategy type — and the weakest area can push the overall number higher (riskier) on its own. The score maps to a grade: A ≤ 22, B ≤ 35, C ≤ 50, D ≤ 70, E above. Grades compare opportunities within our stablecoin catalog — an A is the strongest thing we list (blue-chip stablecoin lending), not a promise of safety. Live events (an active depeg, a reported exploit, a sharp deposit outflow) override the score immediately. Where we lack data, the factor says so and scores cautiously. Non-stablecoin opportunities are not rated. A comparison aid, not advice.
Risk levels are Akashi's own assessment to help you compare opportunities — not financial advice or a safety guarantee. Every DeFi position carries smart-contract and market risk.
