I use google to get information about new projects that can do farming, staking, lending and many other things we call DeFi.
There are many projects that offer high APY and we can choose according to the altcoin we have because each coin must have a different network, Tron, Waves, Bsc, ETH, Polygon and many more.
We can choose everything according to the desired profit

Right.... but what keyworf you search for?

For example, there was this place called Thoreum recently... seems like a scam run by kids or morons, but I saw one Youtuber talk about it totally randomly, and checked it out, had like 27,000% APR so I did earn some Thoreum tokens and now they are having "technical issues" so who knows if we will even get our earnings... (of course I pulled my initial out after losing 4%)...  So how do these guys know about these pools and sites at the very start, where would such a project be listed in search?

Yes, I'm using Binance but I can't stake tokens because the number of tokens is not enough for the pool requirement. I only participate in Flexible saving with very low APY. But that also allows me to redeem tokens for sale whenever needed.
KuCoin has many quality pools but I don't trust KuCoin.

Why dont you trust Kucoin? Isn't it one of the best?

I am going to assume everyone has at least 3 different exchanges active... do you mind telling me your top 5 or more in order of your favorite?  I will assume if you say Binance.com you are not in America (if u r, can you please state it or say use VPN?).. trying to see if I am on track to use the best ones going forward although I realize all this can change tomorrow... recently Binance.us and Kucoin have taken FOREVER to get my account in good order, could not even WD, was excruciating!    Please feel free to add the other platforms like pancake/uni/sushi etc...  Thank you!
