* Projections assume APY remains constant and do not account for gas fees.
Investing in USDS via Spark currently provides a return that prioritises capital preservation over aggressive growth.
This is a 'Volatile Asset' pool. The primary driver of your portfolio's total value will likely be the price action of USDS, with the yield acting as a buffer against potential drawbacks.
To maximise your crypto-asset earnings on Spark, frequency matters. With current daily earnings of ~$0.88 (per $10k), manual reinvestment should be weighed against gas costs.
On Ethereum Mainnet, gas costs can erode yield for smaller positions. We recommend a monthly compounding schedule or using a yield aggregator to batch transactions, ensuring fees do not outweigh your returns.
Understanding how yield is generated is critical for any DeFi investor. The returns displayed in this USDS APY Calculator differ from traditional finance in several ways.
By depositing USDS, you become a 'Liquidity Provider' (LP). You are essentially acting as a bank, facilitating trades for other users on the blockchain. In exchange for locking your capital, you earn the APY shown above.
Before allocating capital, consider the 'Real Yield' (Inflation Adjusted):
With global inflation at roughly 3%, your Real Yield is 0.21%.
Furthermore, be aware of Smart Contract Risk. While is established, interacting with any smart contract on Ethereum involves a non-zero degree of technical risk.
