About Passive Yield Lab

Hi, I'm Ethan.

I'm Ethan Moore, the founder and editor of Passive Yield Lab. I started this site in 2026 after spending years building passive income streams across crypto, DeFi, AI tools, and digital products — often making expensive mistakes that nobody warned me about.

My background is in software engineering. I currently run a small portfolio of crypto positions (staking, lending, liquid staking, DeFi) and a handful of automated AI businesses. Everything published here comes from real capital I've personally deployed and tools I've personally used.

Why This Site Exists

Most "passive income" content online is either hype, paid placement, or recycled from a single Twitter thread. I got tired of it. Passive Yield Lab is my attempt to publish the kind of guide I wish existed when I started: honest numbers, real risks, and platform comparisons written by someone who actually has skin in the game.

What I Cover

• Crypto Yield — I cover staking, liquid staking, DeFi pools, lending, and exchange earn programs
• AI Income — I publish practical playbooks for building income with AI tools and automation
• Investing — I write about dividend stocks, ETFs, REITs, P2P lending, and other yield-generating assets
• Digital Products — I explore print-on-demand, online courses, templates, and other scalable income streams
• Real Estate — I cover rental income strategies, Airbnb, and real estate crowdfunding
• DeFi — I dig into liquidity pools, yield aggregators, and risk assessment
• Tools & Security — I review hardware wallets, tax software, and portfolio tracking tools
• Automation — I document systems and workflows that earn while you sleep
