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

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. 35 dividends since launch. Hedged, not directional.

→ Hedged. Uncorrelated. Dividend #36 is $3.10 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.

35 dividends. Hedged, not directional.
