Fast Pool reports yield using APR (Annual Percentage Rate). This represents the projected annual return based on simple, non-compounded earnings per cycle.
Here’s what that means:
Yields are calculated per cycle and extrapolated annually.
There is no assumption of compounding between cycles.
APR gives users a consistent and easy-to-compare view of return potential.
This measurement method is well-suited to Fast Pool’s liquid Stacking design, where users may enter or exit at any cycle. Compounding would require re-delegation and reinvestment, which are not automatic in this protocol.
Leather uses this APR model to present yield projections from Fast Pool clearly, so users can make informed decisions.
