Yield Mechanics: How It Works

Understanding the underlying mechanism is vital for assessing sustainability. The 3.43% APY displayed for USDC is primarily derived from interest paid by borrowers on the Compound V3 protocol.

Supply & Demand

When you deposit USDC, 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 85.76%). Since utilisation is high, interest rates have increased to encourage repayments and attract new deposits.
