Running LP positions on Base + Solana. Weekly BTC DCA. Real positions, real numbers. Building the financial life I designed. Helping women do the same.
I supply USDC to @Morpho on @base . Borrowers on the other side pay interest to access liquidity. I collect a portion of it. The price of ETH or SOL that week is irrelevant to what I earned.
It's nice to have a position that earns regardless of price, but I still love liquidity pools.
My long-term Bitcoin is in cold storage. I did the work to understand self-custody because sovereignty matters to me more than convenience. The whole point of the asset is that no one can touch it. I'm not outsourcing that.
I keep my health factor above 2.0 on my Morpho position on Base. I keep borrow power used under 40%. I check the spread between LP APR and borrow rate every week.
When those three numbers are healthy, the position runs. When any of them drifts, I adjust before the protocol makes that decision for me.
I borrowed stablecoins against my ETH on Morpho, put them to work in a liquidity pool, and watched two numbers: what I was earning in fees and what I was paying to borrow. The gap between those numbers is the entire strategy.
A position using borrowed capital has three costs running simultaneously.
The borrow rate adjusts with market demand for that asset. When more people want to borrow USDC on Morpho, the rate rises for everyone. Your LP yield adjusts with trading volume and whether your position stays in range. Both numbers move independently of each other.
When the gap between LP yield and borrow cost narrows, the structure earns less. If LP volume drops while the borrow rate rises, the position can flip from earning to costing money without either individual dashboard showing a clear warning.
The health factor tracks the collateral side. As collateral falls in price, the health factor falls with it. Below the liquidation threshold, the protocol acts automatically. There's no grace period.
Borrow power used tells you how much runway you have. Conservative usage means a bad week stays manageable.
