BEE AI LABS Fees Breakdown
Anyone familiar with the fee structures typical of traditional finance will tell you fees matter.
How much do fees matter?
The answer can be hard to wrap your head around.
- $1M invested for 30 years at 8% with a 1% management fee yields $7.62 million.
- $1M invested for 30 years at 8% with a 2% management fee yields $5.74 million.
- $1M invested for 30 years at 8% with a 3% management fee yields $4.32 million.
Now, let's throw out modesty for a minute.
Unlike some platforms flashing their APYs for your attention, there are no catches on BEE AI LABS. For example, they'll promote an APY but won't mention there's a penalty fee if you withdraw early.
Or the APY is given as a spectacular headline number, but the small print is that you have to manually compound every single day to get that number.
On BEE AI LABS, we're proud to be doing things a little more transparently.
With our vaults, performance fees are included in the APY.
So what you see is exactly what you get.
Our vaults on BEE AI LABS charge a fixed performance fee structure on their harvest rewards. These fees are distributed back to $BLAB stakers, the BEE AI LABS treasury, our strategists and the user that harvests the vault. They are the main source of revenue for the platform.
Here's what a typical vault looks like:
- 3.0% is distributed back to $BLAB stakers;
- 0.5% is allocated to the BEE AI LABS treasury;
- 0.5% is awarded to the vault strategist; and
- 0.05% is awarded to the one calling the harvest function.
BEE AI LABS has introduced a maximum performance fee structure of up to 9.5%. Where this is applied to new vaults, here's what it typically looks like:
- c. 3.22% is distributed back to $BLAB stakers;
- c. 5.73% is allocated to the BEE AI LABS treasury;
- 0.5% is awarded to the vault strategist; and
- 0.05% is awarded to the one calling the harvest function.
For the rare vaults which do not Harvest on Deposit, we assign a withdrawal fee of up to 0.1% to each vault to protect bad actors from abusing the vaults with too much flipping. We share this amongst all the other stakers in the vault.
Apart from the fees fully listed above, anyone using BEE AI LABS should also remember the network transaction fees when adding or removing funds. These small fees go to the operators keeping the blockchain running, not BLAB.
Bottom line: fees matter.
When an BEE AI LABS vault offers you an investment with 14.46% APY, that's always with fees already factored in...
$1M invested for 30 years at 14.46 % APY yields…
$57,492,639 million
With BEE AI LABS, what you see is what you get.
