SUMR project is about to go live officially within two weeks, and early participants are discussing its APR yield potential. It is reported that the current yield rate is as high as 3500%. This seemingly outrageous number actually has a basis — in the early stages of a new project, liquidity depth is usually shallow, and the total deposit amount (TVL) is relatively low, so the share of earnings per participant is amplified, leading to an exaggerated APR.

From a risk perspective, if you hold USDC and can accept the risk exposure of a new token, such early DeFi opportunities are worth paying attention to. However, it is important to understand that extremely high APRs are often accompanied by higher uncertainty — whether the project can sustain, whether user engagement can be maintained, and whether TVL can grow are all variables. Therefore, small-scale participation might be a more pragmatic strategy. Once the project stabilizes and the ecosystem matures, such yields will inevitably return to a rational level.

3500%? Wake up, the TVL rally ended the moment it started

A 3500% APR is indeed tempting, but it's a time bomb... --- Early projects are all like this. Once TVL rises, the yields drop straight down. By then, it's too late to cry. --- Playing with small amounts is okay, but don't go all in. I got burned like that last time. --- Waiting for stability before entering isn't better? Why rush onto this early train? --- Basically, it's a numbers game to cut leeks. Those who understand, understand. --- USDC is safe, but the risk with these new tokens... I'll wait and see before making a move. --- 上线两周？给我三个月让我看看效果再考虑。 --- I've seen many projects like this, and in the end, it's just a mess. --- The higher the APR, the greater the risk. That's an unchanging truth.

3500%？Haha, here we go again. Small investments are still okay to play around with. --- Once TVL rises, APR drops straight down. I've seen this happen too many times. --- I'm a bit tempted but will wait and see. I don't want to become the bag holder again. --- Early DeFi was all about gambling on luck. Small-scale trial and error is the smartest approach. --- I'll just keep an eye on projects like this. Only the brave go all in. --- The higher the APR, the greater the risk. A simple and brutal truth. --- Launching in two weeks. First, I need to check the team’s background. --- Why is it always this kind of rug-pull scheme? Luckily, I’ve learned to be smart. --- It's okay to invest small amounts, but don’t expect to catch the bottom. --- Wait until the ecosystem stabilizes before entering. Investing now is just gambling on market sentiment.

3500%？Laughing out loud, it's the same old liquidity shallow trick --- Playing with small amounts is okay, going all in is just asking for death --- If TVL doesn't rise, it's doomed. I've seen too many projects like this --- USDC is safe and sound, but betting on new coins requires a brave heart --- Waiting for stability before entering? By then, the returns are long gone haha --- It's always the same routine, APR drops from four digits to two digits --- Only true warriors dare to move USDC --- Hold the coin for two weeks and see, most likely rug pull --- This is the game of DeFi, betting on vision
