Outperformance Share

Outperformance Share

Elemental only takes a cut from the excess yield we generate above the second-best lending opportunity in the ecosystem. Depositors keep the entire baseline yield; we split half the Outperformance created by our protocol. If we don’t outperform, we take nothing. This ensures complete alignment - we win only when you do.

The table below illustrates how this works in practice.

Elemental Lend

Fund B
Fund C

Scenario I

7.8%

7.2%

Scenario II

8.3%

5.4%

7.8%

8.4%

Scenario I

Elemental Lend delivers the highest yield at 8.3%. The next best-performing fund is Fund B at 7.8%.

  • Outperformance = 8.3% – 7.8% = 0.5%

  • Outperformance is shared 50/50.

  • Depositors receive: 8.3% + 0.25% = 8.55%

  • Elemental receives: 0.25%

Scenario II

Fund C outperforms Elemental with an 8.4% yield.

  • Elemental does not outperform.

  • Depositors receive the full 8.3%, with no Outperformance Share deducted.

IMPORTANT: The yield displayed to users on our website already factors in all Outperformance-sharing calculations. The numbers shown here are for educational purposes only - they simply illustrate how Outperformance is determined.
