Mellow(@mellowprotocol):EarnUSD Vault by @LidoFinance moves to a performance-weighted fee model. The change shifts more of the fee load from balances to returns. Previously, EarnUSD charged 1% AUM and 10% performance. The new model is capped at 0.5% AUM and 20% performance. At launch, fees are set at 0.2% AUM and 15% performance. The AUM fee applies to every balance in the vault, whatever the vault earns. Cutting it from 1% to 0.2% makes EarnUSD cheaper to hold when returns are lower. The performance fee applies only to generated returns, so with more weight on it, total fees track more closely with what depositors receive. Current fees are always shown on the EarnUSD vault UI. https://t.co/7gKC47hjb5
