Fees & Revenue Model

Note: This fee structure is subject to change. The information provided represents our current model and may be adjusted based on market conditions, user feedback, and protocol evolution.

Overview

Our performance-based model aligns with user success - we only earn when you earn more. Loopify Finance designed our fee structure specifically to ensure that our incentives are completely aligned with yours. We focus exclusively on yield optimization and leverage looping strategies, providing transparent pricing that scales with your success.

Core Fee Structure

Yield Looping Fees

0.075% per execution (price not 100% set)

Our yield looping service automatically deducts a simple 0.075% fee from the position when it's created:

Fee Type	Amount	Collection Method	When Applied
Position Fee	0.075%	Automatic deduction	Upon loop creation
Management Fee	0%	None	No ongoing fees
Maintenance Fee	0%	None	No position monitoring fees

Fee Calculation Example:

$100,000 USDe Loop Position:
• One-time fee: $100,000 × 0.075% = $75
• Gas optimization: Included
• Slippage protection: Included
• Position monitoring: Included (FREE)
• Total cost: $75 (0.075% once, no recurring fees)

Yield Optimizer Performance Fees

10% of additional yield

Performance-based fees are charged only on additional yield generated above baseline:

Service	Performance Fee	Management Fee	How It Works
Yield Optimizer	10%	0%	10% of additional yield above standard rates

Performance Fee Example:

$50,000 Yield Strategy:
• Standard market rate: 8% APY = $4,000
• Loopify performance: 15% APY = $7,500
• Additional yield generated: $7,500 - $4,000 = $3,500
• Performance fee: $3,500 × 10% = $350
• User net additional yield: $3,500 - $350 = $3,150
• Total user yield: $4,000 + $3,150 = $7,150 (14.3% APY)

Smart Wallet Services

Setup: FREE | Rebalancing: 0.03%

Our smart wallet automation provides cost-effective portfolio management:

Service	Fee	Description
Wallet Setup	FREE	Initial configuration and deployment
Auto-Rebalancing	0.03%	Per rebalancing transaction
Risk Monitoring	FREE	24/7 position health tracking
Emergency Actions	FREE	Automated liquidation protection

Smart Wallet Fee Example:

$200,000 Portfolio with Monthly Rebalancing:
• Setup cost: $0 (FREE)
• Monthly rebalancing: $200,000 × 0.03% = $60
• Annual rebalancing cost: $60 × 12 = $720
• Effective annual fee: 0.36% of portfolio
