Compares APY/APR, calculates net yields after fees, assesses protocol risks, and recommends optimal allocations. ## Prerequisites 1. **Python 3.8+** installed 2. **Dependencies**: `pip install requests` 3. Network access to DeFiLlama APIs 4. Optional: CoinGecko API key for higher rate limits ## Instructions 1. **Compare staking options** for a specific asset: ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH ``` Shows protocol name, type (native vs liquid), gross/net APY, risk score, TVL, and lock-up period. 2. **Analyze with position size** for gas-adjusted yields: ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH --amount 10 ``` Calculates effective APY accounting for gas costs and projects returns at 1M, 3M, 6M, and 1Y. 3. **Optimize existing portfolio** with current positions: ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --optimize \ --positions "10 ETH @ lido 4.0%, 100 ATOM @ native 18%, 50 DOT @ native 14%" ``` Suggests higher-yield alternatives with projected improvement and switching costs. 4. **Compare protocols or run risk assessment**: ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --compare --protocols lido,rocket-pool,frax-ether python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH --detailed ``` 5. **Export results** in JSON or CSV: ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH --format json --output staking.json ``` ## Output Comparison table ranked by risk-adjusted return (Net APY multiplied by Risk Score / 10), showing native and liquid staking options: ``` STAKING OPTIONS FOR ETH 2025-01-15 15:30 UTC # 2025 timestamp Protocol Type Gross APY Net APY Risk TVL Unbond Frax (sfrxETH) liquid 5.10% 4.59% 7/10 $450M instant Lido (stETH) liquid 4.00% 3.60% 9/10 $15B instant Rocket Pool liquid 4.20% 3.61% 8/10 $3B instant Coinbase cbETH liquid 3.80% 3.42% 9/10 $2B instant ETH Native native 4.00% 4.00% 10/10 $50B variable ``` ## Error Handling | Error | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | API timeout | DeFiLlama unreachable | Cached data used with warning | | Invalid asset | Unknown staking asset | Lists supported assets | | Rate limited | Too many API calls | Automatic retry with backoff | | No data found | Protocol not indexed | Falls back to known protocol list | See [`references/errors.md`](references/errors.md) for comprehensive error handling. ## Examples Common staking analysis workflows from single-asset comparison to full portfolio optimization: ```bash # Quick ETH staking comparison python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH # Large position with full risk analysis python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --asset ETH --amount 100 --detailed # Multi-asset comparison exported to CSV python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --assets ETH,SOL,ATOM --format csv # Portfolio optimization with current positions python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/staking_optimizer.py --optimize \ --positions "50 ETH @ lido 3.6%, 500 SOL @ marinade 7.5%" # 500 - minimum stake amount in tokens ``` ## Resources - [`references/implementation.md`](references/implementation.md) - Optimization reports, risk assessment details, disclaimers - [`references/errors.md`](references/errors.md) - Comprehensive error handling - DeFiLlama Yields: https://defillama.com/yields - StakingRewards: https://www.stakingrewards.com - Lido: https://lido.fi | Rocket Pool: https://rocketpool.net --- Source attribution: jeremylongshore Original project: https://github.com/jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills/blob/ab85a061f7bcc039dac13ee193de7a4cd4388571/plugins/crypto/staking-rewards-optimizer/skills/optimizing-staking-rewards/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Dave AI. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2024-2026 Jeremy Longshore & Contributors Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
