HOW OUR RETURN COMPARES |
 |
|
Our income comes from market-making fees — we provide liquidity to a major decentralized exchange and earn on every trade that crosses our quotes. We hedge our positions to stay neutral to price direction.
Even at our current pace — that's still more than 3x the best income fund on Wall Street, and nearly 6x a bank savings account.

WHAT'S GOING IN OUR FAVOR |
|
Cycle #34, Day 2 — Nearly Three-Quarters Through, No Red Sessions.
DeFi Income: $987.37, +0.75% on the day — the second session of Cycle #34, and the price is already nearly three-quarters up the $10 climb. Dividend #33 paid $6.23/share (0.64%) on Tuesday August 18 and the share price reset to $980. Trigger at $990, just $2.63 away — 73.7% of the way there, with zero red sessions since the reset. 33 dividends since launch, 11 paid so far in 2026 — $10,170 on $100K.

A note on today's larger move
We stay roughly 90% hedged against the broader market — we are not betting on prices going up or down. Today's larger-than-usual gain came from that hedge working cleanly alongside an unusually busy trading day, which meant more market-making fees collected than a typical session. Days like this are the exception, not the rule — most sessions are smaller, quieter moves. Expect a steady grind, not repeats of today.

| Thu Aug 20 — today | $987.37 (+0.75%) |

The Strategy Doesn't Need a Bull Market. It Needs Activity.
The single most important thing about DeFi Income is also the simplest: we are not a directional bet. We don't need BTC to go up. We don't need stocks to go up. We provide market-making liquidity, hedge our positions, and earn fees on every trade that crosses our quotes. Whether the market is climbing, falling, or chopping sideways — our income is a function of activity, not direction. That's why a quiet, steady market produces a quiet, steady grind higher — exactly what we're seeing. 33 dividends since launch. Hedged, not directional.
→ Hedged. Uncorrelated. Dividend #34 is $2.63 away.

HOW DEFI INCOME WORKS |
|
Think of it like running a stall at a busy marketplace. We post bids and offers on a major decentralized exchange. Every time a trader hits our quote, we collect a fee and hedge our inventory immediately so we stay neutral to price direction. We don't care whether any asset goes up or down — we care how many people are trading.
33 dividends. Hedged, not directional.
