This is just to share some stats, but they mean little. The ROI here includes both compounding and cashing out. This is misleading because it assumes that I got more money than I actually did.
This is also heavily influenced by how long I've been in the protocol.

For example, I actually got fairly little money directly from THOR, as I compounded a fair bit in the beginning.
In order for this to be more helpful, I'd have to show how much I actually cashed out (avax/ftm etc) of each protocol.

The problem is that figuring this out is difficult. Eg Redlight did ok (thank God I barely compounded there), but almost all that "ROI" I got was from THOR because all my mansions were bought with THOR's profits. Thus tracking all this gets very messy.
However, a good thing about this measurement is that is tracking actual $ and not just tokens. Meaning that it takes into account price action.
In hindsight, my best investments were POWER, Redlight, PENT and CUBO.
My worse was 1) STRONG, and 2) UNIV. For the latter even though I did get some of it very cheap, I compounded it a bit in the beginning, a huge mistake.
This is accounting for overall $, not just %.

While a fair bit of protocols have a low return (under 50%), many are projects that I invested very little in, so it doesn't up not mattering much.
My biggest bags were THOR, STRONG, COMB and ATLAS. For ATLAS, we all know how that went.

COMB also didn't turn out well for me and tanked my overall portfolio. Especially because I bought some extra just soon before they announced the node cap and tanked the price. But I have some faith that I'll recover most of the ROI little by little.
Despite these not doing great, I'm still happy that's what I went for rather than random smaller projects, I would have ended up a lot worse.
I wish I realized sooner how unsustainable the system was, especially with high rewards, whitelist whales, lack of tapering, etc.
While for some perhaps I sounded like a broken record at the time regarding sustainability, nevertheless I wish I was more vocal about it, too.

I regret more so the time spent on this whole space than the money per se. But also it gave me a lot of experience and knowledge to build @defo_app the right way.
What annoys me the most about this whole thing is how slow projects were reacting to their downfall. Many of them did nothing, or what they did took ages to implement.
To my awareness, here are the projects that have done what I recommended here:
Zero.
