TLDRing this for those of us who aren't going to hedge:
- Clear indication Gyro pools = good / LPs don't get rekt.
- Dynamic CLPs today make it easy (just deposit) to access unhedged, which is still very good!
- You might look forward to a future automated delta-neutral LP 👀
How profitable are Gyro Dynamic CLPs?
New simple measure: how much a delta-neutral LP makes in USD after hedging asset exposure.
A new research piece backtests on real E-CLPs:
- 134% APY from Dec '24 - Aug '25
- PnL growth in 73% of hours (87% of 30-day rolling periods)

We have the information to catch the exploiter in time. You’re not anonymous.
The simplest way forward today is to return 90% of funds to the Gyroscope governance address on Ethereum within 48 hours: 0x78EcF97572c3890eD02221A611014F30219f6219
Once received, FTL Labs will consider its investigation closed and shift focus to returning rescued funds to users without the need for the legal route.

The GYD exploiter has taken huge risk for little reward vs the honest route of being a whitehat.
We know an incredible amount about them (and more each day). We're confident they’ll be caught.
Their best option is to get in touch about returning funds.
We have continued to investigate the GYD exploiter:
We have identifying information about you. You can be unmasked over time.
What you have stolen is really not worth the risk. Returning funds now is your best option.

While ETH may be down, Gyroscope's first go-back-to-market experiment is hitting well.
Designed for passive LPs to harvest ETH trading volatility and well suited for choppy markets.
Gyro was one of few protocols that looked like it could organically self-sustain.
It got a sucker punch that it didn’t deserve in Nov (and was unaffected technically). But we’ve been pushing forward.
Here’s a first experiment in going back to market. And big moves planned.
New incentives live for ETH/USDC Dynamic E-CLP on Base.
Gyroscope’s Dynamic E-CLPs are designed to crack profitable passive LPing. They’ve been proven in practice and resilience since June.
This batch experiments in a renewed GTM following successful navigation of recent DeFi volatility. Whether you’ve been a past LP or interested on the sidelines, join to shape the next phase of Gyro.
Token incentives are out. Real yield is in.
Gyro outcompetes when it's about the merits (organic yield and safe design) instead of the vapor.
And it's coming back soon.
DeFi used to revolve around token incentives that boost numbers. Briefly.
Now it’s back to fundamentals. Long-term LP performance depends on how pools actually perform.
Gyro (coming again soon)
Gyroscope doesn't get enough credit for pushing forward governance design.
Pioneered
- multipolar governance design
- built-in 'anti-rug' guardrails / user protections
- optimistic approval (dual governance) whereby users have a collective veto power to protect system setup
We wanted to build things right, and expended significant effort to, whereas most others just focus on quick money. And it should get more recognition (which then helps with adoption, which is even harder when doing things right).
Gyroscope faces many hurdles, but it has two things going for it that most other projects don't:
1) A product that has actually made money
2) A good governance system that can support real decentralization and user protection (what DeFi is supposed to do)
