Fees
YieldSeeker charges a 10% platform fee on yield earned by the Vault Agent. The fee applies to positive yield, not to your principal: if the agent does not earn yield, there is no platform fee.
How the platform fee works
Section titled “How the platform fee works”YieldSeeker tracks the cost basis of each vault position. When a position is withdrawn, the fee is charged only on the positive gain above that cost basis. Reward yield is charged when it is claimed. A loss does not create a fee, and a partial withdrawal adjusts the remaining cost basis.
For example:
- You deposit $1,000 and the Vault Agent earns $100 in yield.
- The platform fee is 10% of that $100, or $10.
- You keep the remaining $90 in yield, plus your $1,000 principal.
The fee is tied to the agent’s performance. YieldSeeker earns a platform fee only when the agent generates yield, and you keep 90% of that yield before any costs charged by an underlying protocol or opportunity. This keeps the fee proportional to the value the service creates: when the agent earns more, you still receive the larger share.
What the fee pays for
Section titled “What the fee pays for”The Vault Agent searches approved opportunities, allocates funds, and manages supported switches, reward claims, conversions, and reinvestment. The 10% fee pays for this ongoing automated service. It lets you access an active yield strategy without having to research and manage each opportunity yourself.
Yield is not guaranteed, and APY can change. Review the Vault Agent performance page to understand how the app reports earnings and APY.
When fees are recorded
Section titled “When fees are recorded”The agent overview separates Fees Owed (charged but not yet collected), Fees Accruing (est.) (an estimate on eligible gains in tracked vault positions), and Fees paid (amounts collected). These figures are separate from your deposited principal.
The Vault Agent attempts fee collection when fees owed are worth at least $1. Collection is limited to liquid base asset in the Agent Wallet, so some fees may remain owed.
Other costs
Section titled “Other costs”The 10% platform fee is separate from costs charged by an underlying vault or protocol. Reward swaps can involve slippage, liquidity limits, protocol fees, or vault withdrawal fees. These costs affect the result of an opportunity and can reduce your net return.
Review the opportunity details and the agent’s performance information before depositing. APY is an estimate, not a guarantee of future returns.
