About Indigo

Indigo is a decentralized finance protocol operating across Cardano. The protocol enables crypto holders to earn yield through automated smart contracts — no custodians, no KYC, and full transparency via on-chain data.

With $6.52M in total TVL across 4 pools, Indigo represents a significant segment of the DeFi yield landscape. Users interact directly with the protocol's smart contracts via any compatible Web3 wallet, maintaining full custody of their assets throughout.

How Indigo Generates Yield

Indigo creates yield for depositors through diverse pool mechanics. Yield sources include trading fees from every swap routed through liquidity pools, interest paid by borrowers in lending markets, and protocol incentive distributions to attract and retain liquidity. The specific yield source varies by pool — check each pool's APY breakdown (Base APY vs. Reward APY) to understand where the yield comes from.

Base APY represents sustainable fee income; Reward APY comes from token incentives that can change as protocol programs evolve. For long-term positions, prioritize pools with strong base APY. For short-term yield farming, high-reward-APY pools can be lucrative if entered and exited strategically before incentive programs wind down.

Indigo Across Blockchains

Indigo is primarily deployed on Cardano, with 4 pools available. The protocol takes advantage of this network's specific capabilities to deliver competitive yields to liquidity providers.

Security & Risk Profile

Before depositing into any Indigo pool, assess the specific risks. Pools with the IL tag involve multi-asset positions where price divergence can reduce your effective return. Pools with the Stable tag use stablecoin assets, minimizing price volatility risk on your principal. All DeFi pools carry inherent smart contract risk — verify Indigo's audit status from their official documentation before depositing large amounts.

Indigo Pool Risk Summary
Pool Type	APY Range	IL Risk	Recommended For
Stablecoin pools	3–15% typical	None	Conservative yield, capital preservation
Single-asset pools	Varies	None	Yield on existing holdings without ratio risk
Multi-asset AMM pools	Higher	Moderate–High	Active yield farmers comfortable with IL

How to Use Indigo Effectively

To maximize returns on Indigo: start with pools that have high TVL (lower exit slippage), check whether APY is fee-based or emission-based, and review the protocol's incentive program timeline. For multi-asset pools, calculate your expected IL at various price scenarios before committing — many DeFi calculators are available online for this purpose.

For tax purposes, each reward claim from Indigo pools is typically a taxable event in most jurisdictions. Keep records of your deposits, withdrawals, and reward harvests with timestamps and USD values at the time of each transaction.
