Regular Income Streams

AF1.0's Lending Performance Fee

  • AF1.0's Lending performance fee accrues in each lending vault based on the actual borrowing interest incurred.

  • Based on the actual borrowing interest accrued, the smart contract keeps track of the amount owed to the protocol, which is currently set at 19%. Refer to the Global Parameter page for all of the most up-to-date parameter values.

  • The accrued fee is withdrawn once a week from the vaults. Each week, we queue the transactions (one for each lending vault) to make withdrawals on Saturday, which then have to go through the 24-hour timelock.

  • The withdrawals are executed on Sunday whereby 6% of the 19% are used for Governance vault rewards distribution.

  • Withdrawal transactions are initiated from the deployer address.

  • This portion of the revenue is a regular income stream. Hence, the entire amount will be distributed to the Governance vault each week.

In order to check how much in fees has accrued in each vault, you can do the following:

  • Go to BscScan and enter the vault contract address

  • Go to “Contract” tab then “Read as Proxy”

  • Go to “reservePool”

  • The value is denominated in wei, so you must divide by 1E18 to read the value in the normal unit.

Note: Please note that these are the accrued fees that have NOT been withdrawn. Thus, if you check them right after the weekly withdrawals (e.g., Monday morning), they will have a low value.
