APY

Annual Percentage Yield — the effective yearly return assuming rewards are compounded at a stated frequency.

APY = (1 + APR/n)^n − 1 for n periods per year (continuous compounding uses e^APR − 1). Marketing pages often blur APR and APY.

APY still ignores smart-contract risk, token emissions dilution, and impermanent loss. Treat it as rate math, not a guaranteed return.
