Why Hermes

Solana yield is spread across dozens of apps. Hermes is the guide.

Each protocol has its own app, its own words and its own rate, and the rate it shows is not always what you keep. Hermes compares the routes, scores each one and builds the deposit. Your funds go straight to the protocol.

How it works

Four steps, one signature

No account and no sign-up. Connect a wallet when you are ready to deposit.

  1. Pick a token and amount

    SOL, USDC or USDT. Type an amount and every route quotes it at once, refreshed every 15 seconds.

  2. Compare the routes

    Hermes opens on Top rated. Each row shows the route, its Safety Score and its APY, or, once you type an amount, what it leaves after costs over a month, six months or a year.

  3. Open Why

    See each part of the route's Safety Score, what it measured and where the number came from, before any money moves.

  4. Sign in your wallet

    Hermes builds the deposit and simulates it. You sign. The tokens land in your wallet, and Portfolio withdraws them.

Safety Score

A score on every route

0 to 100, built from live data. Four parts worth 25 points each, then deductions. Top rated means 80 or more, and no lending reserve that is nearly all borrowed.

Alerts

Alerts, not another dashboard

You should not have to watch rates all day. Tap the bell under a route, or turn on alerts for your positions, and Hermes checks every 10 minutes. Your phone, your inbox or your Telegram hears about it when something changes.

  • Notifications on your phone or computer, email, or Telegram through Herald. You pick when you tap the bell.
  • Android in Chrome. iPhone from the Home Screen, iOS 16.4 or later, or email or Telegram.
  • Alerts for your positions follow your wallet: a route joins when you deposit and leaves when you withdraw.
  • Hermes keeps your notification address, email or Telegram chat and the routes you watch or hold. Never your wallet.

Who it's for

For money that should be earning

Yield without living in ten apps, and without guessing which ones hold up.

  • SOL holders

    SOL sitting in a wallet earns nothing. Swap it for a staking token that scores well, and swap back to SOL at the market price any time.

  • Leaving an exchange

    Staking on an exchange today? Top rated shows established routes first, in plain words, and the keys stay yours.

  • Stablecoin savers

    Lend USDC or USDT on Kamino, Jupiter Lend and Project 0, or through a curated Kamino vault. No impermanent loss, and you see how much can be withdrawn.

  • Rate watchers

    Every rate on one board, live quotes for any amount, and an alert when a better top rated route opens.

Funds never touch Hermes

Read the Docs
  • You sign every move

    Hermes builds an unsigned transaction and your wallet signs it. Hermes never sees a key or a seed phrase, and no Hermes vault holds your funds.

  • Simulated before you sign

    Hermes simulates deposits and withdrawals before you sign. The dialog shows what you put in, what you get and what it costs.

  • Every number has a source

    Each rate and each part of the score names where it came from: the chain, the protocol, or DefiLlama where nothing else exists.

Roadmap

Where Hermes is going

The index first, then the router, then automation. One route at a time, each one checked before it goes in.

  1. The Index

    Live

    Live rates and a Safety Score for every staking and lending route Hermes lists.

  2. The Router

    Live

    Live quotes for any amount, the deposit built for the route you pick or split across top rated ones, and withdrawals from Portfolio.

  3. Signals and Reroute

    Live

    Alerts for the routes you watch and the positions you hold, on your phone, by email or on Telegram, and Reroute: Hermes proposes a better top rated route and you sign.

  4. Autopilot

    Later

    An opt-in vault that reroutes and exits on signals for you. Only after a Hermes program, an outside security review and deposit caps.
