How to View Your DeFi Earn Positions

In the OneKey App, DeFi Earn position information is centralized on the "My Positions" page within the Earn section. You can view deposited amounts, accumulated yield, current APY, and access the redemption option. On-chain status can also be independently verified through a blockchain explorer.

Why It Matters

After depositing into a DeFi Earn product, most users' first question is: "Where is my USDT? Is yield accumulating?" Unlike bank deposits with a unified account statement, DeFi position data is distributed across on-chain smart contracts and must be accessed through a wallet app or blockchain explorer. Learning to read the data on your positions page helps you detect anomalies early and make informed rebalancing decisions.

Core Mechanics and Key Concepts

The Nature of DeFi Positions: Receipt Tokens

When you deposit USDT into a DeFi lending protocol, the protocol typically issues receipt tokens to your wallet (e.g., aUSDT, cUSDT):

• The quantity or value of receipt tokens increases over time, reflecting accrued interest
• On withdrawal, receipt tokens are burned and you receive back principal plus interest
• Receipt tokens exist on-chain and can in principle be viewed through any interface that supports the protocol

The OneKey App abstracts this mechanism and displays the equivalent USDT balance directly — no need to manually track receipt tokens.

Key Fields in Position Data

On-Chain Verification

All DeFi position data can be independently verified on-chain — you do not need to rely solely on what the App displays:

1. Search your wallet address on a blockchain explorer (e.g., Etherscan)
2. View Token Holdings to find the relevant receipt token (e.g., aUSDT)
3. Check the receipt token contract address and confirm it matches the protocol's official contract

Step-by-Step Instructions

Viewing Positions in the OneKey App

1. Open the OneKey App and confirm the wallet holding Earn positions is connected
2. Tap Earn in the bottom navigation bar
3. On the Earn home page, scroll down to the My Positions section
4. Each position card displays:
   • Product name and protocol icon
   • Deposited amount and current balance
   • Accumulated yield (generated to date)
   • Current APY
5. Tap any position card to enter the position detail page and view:
   • Complete deposit and yield history
   • Deposit timeline
   • Official link to the corresponding protocol
   • Withdraw button

Independent Verification on a Blockchain Explorer

1. Copy your wallet address from the OneKey App
2. Visit the blockchain explorer for that chain (for Ethereum: etherscan.io)
3. Search the wallet address and tap Token Holdings
4. Find the protocol's receipt token (e.g., aUSDT) and review the balance and transaction history

Monitoring Yield Changes

• Real-time yield: Some protocols update balances every block; the number in the OneKey App refreshes every few seconds
• Historical yield curve: The position detail page may display a chart of yield growth over time
• APY changes: APY shows the current real-time rate; historical rate trends for specific protocols can be viewed on DeFiLlama

User Scenarios

Scenario A: Routine Check Once a week, open the OneKey App, go to Earn → My Positions, and quickly confirm deposits are safe, yield is accumulating normally, and APY is within the expected range. If APY drops unusually, evaluate whether a strategy adjustment is needed.

Scenario B: Yield Comparison After 30 days of holding, compare actual accumulated yield against the estimate at time of deposit — verifying whether your understanding of APY volatility was accurate and building experience for future decisions.

Scenario C: Detecting an Anomaly The position detail shows the balance has stopped increasing, or an unknown transaction appears. Immediately verify independently on a blockchain explorer. If an anomaly is confirmed, redeem assets immediately and revoke the relevant protocol's approval (see Revoke.cash).

Scenario D: Redemption Decision When APY continues to decline or a better yield opportunity arises, tap Withdraw on the position detail page, confirm the gas fee is reasonable, and execute the withdrawal. Funds typically return to the wallet within a few minutes.

OneKey App Access

OneKey integrates DeFi position management into a unified interface, so you can manage multiple Earn positions without visiting each protocol's standalone dApp:

1. Download the OneKey App
2. Go to Earn → My Positions
3. View a summary and breakdown of all active DeFi Earn positions
4. Tap individual positions to view details and available actions

Risks and Considerations

• On-chain data takes precedence over App display: If the App shows something unexpected, treat blockchain explorer data as the authoritative source.
• Risk of losing receipt tokens: If your wallet's private key is lost, funds deposited in DeFi cannot be recovered. Properly safeguarding your recovery phrase is critical. Refer to the MetaMask Secret Recovery Phrase guide for best practices.
• Regularly check approvals: During the life of a position, periodically review the approval status for Earn protocols via Revoke.cash.
• Protocol upgrade risk: Some DeFi protocols undergo contract upgrades that may temporarily pause deposit and withdrawal operations. Follow the protocol's official announcements.
• Economics of small positions: For small balances, the gas fee required to redeem may approach or exceed accumulated yield. Choose your timing accordingly.

FAQ

Q1: Why can't I see my Earn position in the OneKey App? A: Possible reasons: the wrong wallet address is connected; the wrong network is selected; the position requires a page refresh on first sync. Try switching to the correct wallet and network, then pull down to refresh.

Q2: When can I withdraw accumulated yield? A: In most lending protocols, principal and accumulated yield can be redeemed together at any time — no need to wait for interest to be distributed separately. The amount received on redemption includes all accumulated yield.

Q3: Why hasn't my position balance increased? A: Possible reasons: the protocol has temporarily paused interest accrual (rare); display delay (refresh the App); the rate is zero (can briefly occur when utilization is extremely low). If the balance shows no change for an extended period, verify on a blockchain explorer.

Q4: Can I hold positions in multiple DeFi Earn products at the same time? A: Yes. The OneKey App positions page displays all active positions separately for unified management.

Q5: How long does it take to receive funds after redemption? A: After submitting the redemption transaction, funds return to the wallet once confirmed on-chain — typically within a few minutes. On Ethereum mainnet during periods of network congestion, this may take longer; increasing the gas fee can speed it up.

Take Action

If you have already completed a DeFi Earn deposit, open the OneKey App now, go to Earn → My Positions, and verify your deposit status and yield accumulation. Developing a habit of regularly reviewing your positions helps you catch anomalies early and make better-informed decisions. Visit the OneKey website for more information on Earn products.
