HOW ~16.1% COMPARES TO EVERYTHING ELSE

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 ~16.1% 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 1 — A Fresh Cycle Begins.

DeFi Income: $980.06, +0.00% on the day — a flat first full session in a brand-new cycle. Dividend #33 paid $6.23/share (0.64%) on Tuesday August 18 and the share price reset to $980, right where it's sitting now. Reset is $980, next dividend triggers at $990, $9.94 away. 33 dividends since launch, 11 paid in the first 231 days of 2026 — one roughly every 21.0 days, $10,170 on $100K, a ~16.1% annualized pace. Reset days are the best entry — the climb starts over from here.

Cycle progress: $980 reset → $980.06 today → $990 trigger

Day 1, Cycle #34 · $9.94 to Dividend #34 · fresh reset at $980

→ Day 1 of Cycle #34. $9.94 from Dividend #34. The grind starts again.

Cycle #34 — A New Cycle Opens at the $980 Reset.

Dividend #33 paid $6.23/share on Tuesday August 18 and the share price reset to $980. Cycle #34 is now underway:

Tue Aug 18 — reset

$980.00 (reset)

Wed Aug 19 — today

$980.06 (+0.00%)

A flat +0.00% first full session sits the price at $980.06, right on the $980 reset line. Every cycle starts here — a fresh $10 climb toward the $990 trigger. This is the entry point long-term holders wait for. $980 reset, $990 trigger, $9.94 to go.

→ $9.94 to Dividend #34. A brand-new cycle, same steady machine.

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. 11 in the first 231 days of 2026 — a ~16.1% annualized pace. Hedged, not directional.

→ Hedged. Uncorrelated. Dividend #34 is $9.94 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. ~16.1% annualized pace. Hedged, not directional.
