What drives the earn rate in Fiber
Yield may come from lending demand, protocol incentives, market-making activity, tokenized real-world assets or other strategies. Each source has a different risk profile and can change as market conditions change.
We believe the rate should never be the only large thing on the screen. Check whether yield comes from a third-party protocol, a temporary promotion or another model, and read the current Fiber app details for the mechanism and terms that apply.
How Fiber asks you to read the rate
APR is a simple annualized rate. APY generally assumes compounding. A 30-day average describes a historical period, not the rate that will continue tomorrow.
Fiber displays earn as it accrues so the balance does not feel like a mystery total. The live movement is a view of accrual, not a promise about future performance. Current rates are variable and appear in the app beside the applicable availability, risk and term details.
The risks our live balance cannot remove
Fiber makes earn legible; it does not make the underlying risks disappear. Stablecoins can deviate from their intended value, smart contracts can contain vulnerabilities, lending markets can face bad debt or liquidity pressure, an integrated provider can fail and a wallet can be compromised.

Why Fiber keeps earn connected to utility
A higher displayed rate can be offset by fees, lockups, token incentives that lose value or the cost of moving funds between products. Fiber keeps earning, transferring and spending in one account because the useful comparison is what remains available after the whole journey.
We do not describe stablecoin yield as guaranteed or risk-free. Use only amounts consistent with your risk tolerance and seek professional advice where appropriate.
Questions worth asking before the money moves.
Is stablecoin yield guaranteed?
No. Rates for earn in Fiber are variable, and the underlying strategies can lose money or become unavailable.
Why does the rate change?
Borrowing demand, market conditions, incentives, underlying asset yields, liquidity and strategy allocation can all affect the rate Fiber displays.
Does non-custodial earn remove all risk?
No. Fiber’s non-custodial architecture changes who controls the assets; smart-contract, stablecoin, liquidity, market and wallet risks can remain.
