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.
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.
After each dividend the share price resets to $980. When it reaches $990, the next dividend triggers and the cycle starts again. Dividend #35 paid $7.08/share on September 18, and Cycle #36 is underway. Follow it every trading day at updates.defiincome.io/daily.
