Yield Mechanics: How It Works

Understanding the underlying engine is vital for assessing sustainability. The 3.19% APY displayed for DAI is primarily derived from interest paid by borrowers on the Aave V3 protocol.

Supply & Demand

When you deposit DAI, you become a liquidity provider. Borrowers pledge collateral (like ETH or BTC) to take out loans. The interest rate fluctuates based on the Utilisation Rate (currently 94.74%). Since utilisation is high, interest rates have increased to encourage repayments and attract new deposits.
