Revenue & Fees

Yieldbay’s revenue model is designed to evolve in clear stages, aligned with how the product itself matures.

This page explains how fees work today and how they may be introduced over time.

hashtag
Stage 1: Free to Use (Today)

Today, Yieldbay is free for users.

  • No platform fees

  • No custody of assets

  • No Yieldbay-level execution fees

Revenue at this stage comes primarily from referral relationships with integrated protocols, when users choose to execute actions directly on those protocols.

Users always pay protocol-native fees, not Yieldbay fees.

hashtag
Stage 2: Optional Execution Fees (Planned)

As Yieldbay introduces on-platform execution features, a small percentage fee may apply to certain user actions.

Important points:

  • Fees will be opt-in

  • Fees will be clearly disclosed

  • Exact percentages will be shared before launch

  • Viewing and portfolio tracking will remain free

Execution fees are intended to align Yieldbay’s incentives with actual product usage.

hashtag
Stage 3: Structured Yield Products (Exploratory)

In later stages, Yieldbay may support more structured strategies, including:

  • Vault-style deployments

  • Yield-native primitives built on Solana

In these cases, Yieldbay may earn a clearly defined percentage as part of the strategy design.

Any such products will be:

  • Transparent

  • Non-custodial

  • Opt-in

  • Shipped only once the underlying infrastructure is mature

hashtag
Alignment With the Community

Across all stages, Yieldbay is designed so that value created by the protocol flows back to the ecosystem and its users over time.

Alignment is expected to be based on:

  • Real usage

  • Long-term participation

  • On-chain activity

Mechanics will be introduced carefully and communicated clearly when ready.
