FAQ
The questions users ask the most. If yours is not here, the Troubleshooting page may help.
General
What is Monad APR?
A DeFi dashboard for Monad. It aggregates yield opportunities, ranks them, surfaces risk through a 0-10 score, tracks on-chain wallet positions, and sends alerts.
Do I need to connect a wallet?
No, browsing pools and reading risk breakdowns is fully public. You only need to connect a wallet to use the portfolio or alerts.
Does connecting cost gas?
No. Connecting your wallet does not send any transaction. The portfolio and alerts also ask you to sign a message. That signature does not cost gas either; it only proves you control the address.
Is Monad APR financial advice?
No. The risk score, badges, and APYs are tools to help you compare opportunities. They are not a guarantee, an audit, or a recommendation to deposit. Always do your own research.
Pools and APY
Why is the APY here different from the protocol's website?
Several reasons can explain a difference. See APY, TVL, and Categories for the full list. The most common ones:
- the protocol shows raw APY, Monad APR shows Net APY (after consolidating known components);
- temporary rewards are included on one side and not the other;
- the underlying asset is itself yield-bearing;
- the source has a refresh delay.
Why does a pool show ? for its risk score?
Confidence is unknown when Monad APR does not have enough reliable signals to produce a score. This is common for very new pools, illiquid pools, or protocols without indexed metadata yet. See Confidence, Badges, and Flags.
What does the IL risk badge mean?
The pool may suffer impermanent loss. The value of your LP position can drift below simply holding the two tokens. This is especially relevant for volatile-volatile LPs. See the Glossary.
Why does a pool I can see on a protocol not appear on Monad APR?
Possible reasons:
- the source we read it from has not propagated it yet;
- the pool is too new to have reliable metadata;
- the protocol is not currently indexed on Monad APR;
- a data provider returned an error during the last refresh.
If the pool exists for a while and you still do not see it, this is the kind of feedback worth reporting.
How often is data refreshed?
Public pools are refreshed regularly and pages can be cached. Portfolio scans run on demand and are cached for about 10 minutes. The Refresh button on the portfolio forces a new scan. See Sources and Freshness.
Portfolio
Why don't I see all my positions?
Position detection runs through dozens of detectors. A position can be missing if:
- the protocol or product is not yet supported by a detector;
- the position is in a brand-new market;
- on-chain reads timed out during the scan;
- the position is very small and falls below display thresholds.
Press the Refresh button to force a new scan. If a value is still missing, see Troubleshooting.
Why are debts negative in my total value?
When a protocol exposes borrow positions, Monad APR shows them as negative value so the total reflects your net exposure rather than just gross deposits.
How is the portfolio APY computed?
Portfolio Net APY is weighted across the detected total portfolio value, not against any single position. So a high-APY position only meaningfully moves the dial if it represents a meaningful share of the total. See Portfolio.
What does "portfolio risk confidence: low" mean?
It means less than 80% (but at least 30%) of your portfolio value sits in positions with a numeric risk score. Some positions might be in pools the model cannot score yet. See Portfolio.
Alerts
Why didn't my email alert arrive?
The most common cause is a missing email verification, or the email landing in spam. See Troubleshooting.
How do I stop getting the same alert over and over?
Each alert can have a cooldown. Increasing the cooldown prevents a new notification while the threshold remains triggered. See Alerts.
Can I create alerts without connecting a wallet?
No. Alert settings are tied to your connected address through a signed wallet session. The signature does not cost gas.
Start and onboarding
Why am I not eligible for the MON claim?
The Start claim is reserved for new Monad wallets that just bridged in. Eligibility checks include: wallet connected, signature provided, bridge threshold met, no previous claim, faucet not empty, and not already an older Monad user. See Start and Onboarding.
Why does Start ask me to sign a message?
The signature proves the connected wallet belongs to you, without sending an on-chain transaction. It also protects the claim flow against scripted abuse.
