APY (Annual Percentage Yield)

APY is the effective compounded annualized return rate generated by periodically reinvesting accrued swap fees back into active liquidity.

1. Definition & Primary Objective

APY calculates the compounded yield achieved when collected swap fees are reinvested back into the liquidity position at optimal intervals (e.g., via Smart Compound™ when fee gains exceed gas costs). This transforms linear APR returns into exponential principal compounding.

Primary Objective

Measure the maximum potential yield unlocked through automated, gas-optimized fee compounding.

2. Mathematical Formulation

APY = (1 + APR / n)^n - 1
Operational Bounds: APY >= APR

Standard compound interest formula applied to fee reinvestment frequencies.

Variables Specification
  • APR:Annual percentage rate expressed as a decimal (e.g. 0.35)
  • n:Number of compounding events executed per year
