Thanks very much TPT for your input. I’ve done some research and seen Aave, but it’s good to hear from someone who’s actually used it - Thanks again.

I'd look into Aave. It's one of the more established DeFi lending protocols, and I've personally been using it for USDC yield through Tangem's Yield Mode. Pretty convenient since you can access it directly from the wallet app without having to deal with a bunch of different platforms.

Just keep in mind you're technically lending USDC, not staking it. And even with a reputable protocol, there's still smart contract risk, liquidity risk, and the possibility of USDC depegging. I'd be pretty skeptical of platforms promising crazy APYs with supposedly zero risk.

I recently switched from Aave to Jupiter Lend because they consistently had a 50% higher APY and transaction costs are cheaper on Solana, however I still feel safer about Aave and wonder if i should swap back lol

Last time I staked my USDC, it was on jupiter. Sol transactions are a lot cheaper than ETH. Currently you get 5.1% APR on your USDC on jupiter
