Calculation Example

Reward distribution mechanism allows both stUSR and RLP benefit from collateral pool income. Losses are attributed to RLP.

For the calculation example, suppose $100,000 were deposited into the protocol, with $70,000 into USR and $30,000 into RLP.

Example 1. Reward epoch profit

Over the course of a reward epoch, collateral pool realizes $20,000 profit. In this example, both stUSR and RLP share a portion of increase in TVL.

  • Base Reward is calculated as $20,000 * 90 * 70% = $12,600 and allocated to stUSR and RLP proportionately to their TVL;

  • Risk Premium is calculated as $20,000 * 90% * 30% = $5,400 and allocated to RLP.

  • Protocol takes fees as $20,000 * 10% = $2,000.

The table below shows the calculation of how the profit is attributed.

Example 1. Reward epoch with a $20,000 profit.

Example 2. Reward epoch loss

Over the course of a reward epoch, collateral pool realizes $20,000 loss. In this example:

  • Full amount of loss is allocated to RLP. Its value decreased by $20,000;

  • No distributions are made to stUSR.

  • No protocol fees are taken because the collateral pool realizes a loss.

Example 2. Reward epoch with a $20,000 loss.
