What is Perivane
Perivane puts the crypto you already hold to work. You pick a pool, deposit, and rewards start adding up every block. No contract approvals to manage, no manual claiming, no spreadsheets.
Every pool tells you three things before you deposit: what it does with your money, what it pays per year, and what could go wrong.
Quick start
- Open the app. Tap Start farming on the home page.
- Pick your heat. On the Pools screen, taller beams pay more and beams further right carry more risk. Tap a beam to compare.
- Deposit. Enter an amount. Perivane shows what you'd earn in 30 days and in a year, after fees, before you confirm.
- Watch it grow. Your deposit becomes a planet in My farm. Sparks flying into the sun are rewards landing.
- Harvest or withdraw whenever you like. There is no lock-up.
How yield works
Rewards always come from somewhere real. On Perivane there are four sources:
- Lending interest. Borrowers pay to borrow your stablecoins. They lock up more than they borrow, so a default is unlikely.
- Staking rewards. Networks like Ethereum pay ETH to people who help secure them.
- Trading fees. When traders swap between two tokens in a pool, a small fee goes to the people who supplied those tokens.
- Token incentives. Some pools pay extra in a project's own token. These pay the most and are the least predictable.
Compounding
With auto-compound on, rewards are added back to your deposit so they earn too. Your balance after d days:
balance = deposit × (1 + APY ÷ 365)d
Example: 1,000 USDC at 6.2% for one year compounds to about 1,063.96 USDC, versus 1,062.00 without compounding.
Pools
Perivane lists a short set of pools instead of hundreds. Each one is grouped by risk and drawn on its own orbit in My farm.
| Pool | Deposit | APY today | Risk | Where yield comes from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDC Steady | USDC | 6.2% | Low | Lending interest |
| USDT Steady | USDT | 5.8% | Low | Lending interest |
| ETH Staking | ETH | 3.4% | Low | Ethereum staking rewards |
| ETH + USDC Pair | USDC | 14.5% | Medium | Trading fees |
| PVN Boost | PVN | 28% | High | PVN incentives and a share of Perivane fees |
Risk levels
- Low
- Your token amount should only grow. The main risks are a bug in the pool's contract, or a stablecoin slipping below $1.
- Medium
- You can end up with less than you'd have by just holding, mostly because of impermanent loss.
- High
- Rewards are paid in a newer token whose price can drop fast. You could lose part of what you deposit. The app asks you to confirm before depositing.
Impermanent loss, in one example
In a pair pool your deposit is split 50/50 between two tokens. If ETH's price doubles, the pool sells some ETH along the way. You end up about 5.7% behind someone who just held the same ETH and USDC. Trading fees are meant to make up for that, but they don't always.
Auto-compound
Auto-compound is on for every new deposit. Rewards are re-deposited into the same pool, so they earn too. Perivane groups many users' re-deposits into one transaction, which keeps the network cost to a few cents.
Turn it off from the switch under any position in My farm. Rewards will then wait for you to harvest them.
Harvest and withdraw
- Harvest sends your rewards, minus Perivane's 10% fee, to your wallet. Your deposit keeps farming.
- Withdraw sends your deposit and rewards, minus the fee on rewards, to your wallet and closes the position. Tap it twice to confirm.
There is no lock-up and no penalty for leaving early.

FAQ
Can I lose money?
Yes. Low-risk pools can still be hit by a contract bug. Medium and high-risk pools can leave you with less than you deposited. Only farm with money you can leave alone.
Why did my APY change?
Rates follow demand. When more people borrow or trade, pools pay more. When more people deposit, the same rewards are split more ways.
How often are rewards added?
Every block. That's why the numbers in My farm keep ticking.
Is there a minimum deposit?
No. Very small deposits still work, though network costs matter more at tiny sizes.
