Why Yield Farming on Solana Feels Different — and How to Keep Your Portfolio Sane on Mobile

Jessica Honan, Cardozo Art & Entertainment Law Journal

Abstract

Whoa! Seriously? That’s how it starts sometimes. My first try at Solana yield farming felt like riding a bike down a hill with no brakes. Fast. Exciting. Also, terrifying. I’m biased, sure — I’ve been poking at wallets and DeFi since before most people had heard of NFTs — but here’s the thing. The Solana ecosystem moves at a crazy clip, and that speed is both an advantage and a trap. Short windows, tiny fees, and a dozen yield opportunities pop up every week. My instinct said: chase them all. Then reality hit.
