Net APY Comparison By Term Length

This chart shows the current deposit amount: $100,000 with gas price: $20

The graph displays how term length affects net APY for each tier. Adjust deposit amount and gas price sliders to see how they impact APY across different term lengths.

Deposit vs APY Range

This chart is affected by current gas price: $20

The APY range shows minimum and maximum APY across different term lengths, with the current gas price. Adjust the gas price slider to see how it impacts the APY range.

This chart shows how your net APY changes based on deposit amount. The lines represent the minimum and maximum APY across different term lengths.

For smaller deposits, gas costs have a larger impact, creating a wider gap between minimum and maximum APY depending on term length.

Key Insights

  • Short term coverage requires more frequent renewals, significantly increasing annual gas costs (e.g., monthly renewals cost $240 in gas per year).
  • For small deposits ($10,000), gas costs from renewals can substantially reduce effective APY.
  • At your current deposit of $100,000, the Entry tier with a 2.03-renewal strategy reduces your 10.0% APY by 0.58%.
  • Longer terms (e.g., annual) minimize gas costs but may be less capital-efficient if you withdraw funds early.
  • The Entry tier preserves significantly more of your investment APY compared to Elite tier at all term lengths.
