Fees
YieldSeeker charges a 10% platform fee on yield earned through the Vault Agent. We do not charge this fee on the amount you deposit. If the agent does not earn yield, there is no platform fee.
How the platform fee works
Section titled “How the platform fee works”The fee applies to positive yield, not to your principal:
- 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.
Losses do not create a platform fee. A fee is calculated from positive yield, not from a decline in the value of your deposit.
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 app records platform fees against positive yield and shows the current amount in the agent overview. Total Fees Owed is the amount accrued for collection. Total Fees Paid is the amount already collected. These figures are separate from your deposited principal.
Other costs
Section titled “Other costs”The 10% platform fee is separate from costs that an underlying vault or protocol may charge. Reward swaps can involve slippage, liquidity limits, a protocol fee, or a vault withdrawal fee. 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.
