Include IDLE earnings into APY % calculation

Hi @wlamhk, great to see that you started this discussion and you noticed this particular.

In the Idle.finance website, the allocation of $IDLE can not be displayed in other ways than the current one, as it would be against the Idle Labs Team Policy (“promote $IDLE as an investment opportunity”).

Your statement is true and the mentioned solution would definitely improve the visibility of the protocol over the DeFi community.

This issue can be easily solved by developing new community-managed user interfaces.

This would allow the Governance to create many different UIs, give more data sources and metrics to the community, and customize design/visualization with community feedback.

It could also be designed as a stats page, the MVP does not need to directly interact with the smart contracts (deposit/redeem from the protocol).

This approach would push a higher grade of decentralization while providing more awareness and visibility for the community, hence potentially increasing the TVL.

I think this task might perfectly fit with the Pilot League mission, that could incentivize new community interfaces by issuing grants to developers.
