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

Cycle #35, Day 13 — Green Monday, Nearly Halfway to the Trigger.

DeFi Income: $984.83, +0.19% since Friday's close — a nineteen-basis-point gain that recovers most of last week's two-day give-back, $0.55 off the $985.38 cycle high set last Wednesday. The price is $4.83 above the $980 reset from Dividend #34 (paid $6.85/share on Tuesday August 25). Reset is $980, next dividend triggers at $990, $5.17 to go — the cycle sits at 48.3%. 34 dividends since launch, 12 paid so far in 2026 — $10,870 on $100K. The grind is the point.

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, choppy market still produces a steady grind — exactly what we're seeing. 34 dividends since launch. Hedged, not directional.

→ Hedged. Uncorrelated. Dividend #35 is $5.17 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.

34 dividends. Hedged, not directional.
