APY And Reward Calculations

Every Dual Currency Investment (DCI) vault offers yield to the Vault Subscribers. For any given vault, the Vault Creator (eg; Liquidity Provider) sets the yield percentage for the vault. This percentage is then used to determine the Annualised Percentage Yield (APY).

The APY formula is:

Yield / (Expiry Date - Today ) x 365

The Reward formula is:

Subscription Amount * Yield

The following summarises the calculation of the total amount the Vault Subscriber will receive based on the Vault Direction and Linked Price outcome.

Buy Low (ETH-USDC)

In a Buy Low vault, the Vault Subscriber deposits USDC. There are two possible scenarios at the Expiration Date:

  • Linked Price is reached = Vault Subscriber receives ETH at the Linked Price + yield in ETH:

Subscription Amount / Linked Price * (1 + Yield) ETH

  • Linked Price is not reached = Vault Subscriber receives his initially deposited USDC + yield in USDC:

Subscription Amount * (1 + Yield) USDC

Sell High (ETH-USDC)

In a Sell High vault, the Vault Subscriber deposits ETH. There are two possible scenarios on the Expiration Date:

  • Linked Price is reached = Vault Subscriber sells ETH at the Linked Price and receives USDC + yield in USDC:

Subscription Amount * Linked Price * (1 + Yield) USDC

  • Linked Price is not reached = Vault Subscriber receives his initially deposited ETH + yield in ETH:

Subscription Amount * (1 + Yield) ETH
