Claim windows that quietly expire
A yield-desk habit for catching reward epochs you stopped watching after the APY screenshot faded.
Yield assessments spend less time chasing headline APYs and more time listing when rewards unlock. Holders who farm across four protocols often remember the deposit day and forget the epoch calendar.
Build a short horizon first
We map the next thirty to sixty days of claims, cooldowns, and gauge resets for the protocols in scope. Anything beyond that window is noted as “known unknown” unless documents are clear.
Dust is a clue
Tiny leftover balances in old pools usually mean a migration was unfinished. They rarely move the allocation needle, but they clutter the desk view and hide approvals you may want to revoke.
Pair the calendar with the wallet map
A claim-heavy week stacked on top of a concentrated lending cluster is a scheduling problem, not just a yield problem. That is where yield tracking and wallet allocation reviews meet on the same memo.
Commission a DeFi Yield Assessment if your claim calendar has gone foggy.
