Fees
1. LinkDeFi Service Fees
LinkDeFi does not hold user assets or execute trades on behalf of users. No platform fee is charged for standard strategy operations such as deposits, borrowing, staking, or claiming rewards.
However, in certain strategies, users may receive reward tokens (e.g., WAVAX, CORE, LINK) in addition to their base asset (e.g., USDC, USDT). To make this process seamless, LinkDeFi provides a built-in swap interface that allows users to conveniently convert these reward tokens into their base assets.
A small interface fee may apply only when using this swap feature. All applicable fees are clearly displayed before transaction approval, including the estimated amount to be received after conversion.
All transactions are signed and executed directly from the user’s wallet — LinkDeFi never holds or deducts any user funds without explicit consent. There are no fees for general strategy operations outside of this optional swap process.
2. External Protocol Fees
LinkDeFi integrates multiple DeFi protocols to deliver compound strategies. Each protocol may impose its own deposit, borrow, staking, or claim fees according to its internal policies. These protocol fees are automatically handled by the respective smart contracts.
LinkDeFi does not modify or add to these external fee structures. All such fees are transparently applied according to each protocol’s on-chain logic, and users can review them directly in the LinkDeFi interface before executing any strategy.
3. Network Gas Fees
Every on-chain transaction requires a network-specific gas fee. LinkDeFi does not collect or markup gas fees — users pay these directly to the blockchain network at the time of transaction approval.
Gas fees fluctuate based on network congestion and timing, and LinkDeFi does not charge any additional service fees related to gas usage.
4. Yield Display Policy (After-Fee APY)
All APY and yield metrics displayed on LinkDeFi represent after-fee, net yields — the actual rate users receive in their wallets.
Displayed yields already reflect:
External protocol fees,
Any applicable swap interface fee,
Estimated network gas costs (based on average execution conditions).
This means users see the true, realized yield without needing to make manual deductions or calculations. APYs shown in the dashboard are the real, net returns users can expect to earn.
5. Transparency Commitment
LinkDeFi operates under a principle of Full Transparency across all yield and fee data.
No hidden fees — ever.
Any interface fee (e.g., reward-to-base swap) is clearly displayed before execution.
Displayed yields (APY/APR) are after-fee, real yield values.
All yield and cost data are verifiable 1:1 with on-chain records.
LinkDeFi cannot move or charge user assets without explicit wallet approval.
Any future changes to fee policies or new service features will be publicly disclosed in the Changelog section.
