Source of yield

HEAT CD interest comes from protocol revenue, not inflation. There are exactly two protocol earnings streams: Atomic swap remainder: 11% Bonus Vault, 20% Treasury. More swap + Hearth volume → more yield. Quiet periods → lower yield. No fixed APY guarantee.

Not protocol earnings

  • Mint premium — none. HEAT_MINT_PREMIUM_BPS = 0; goes nowhere.
  • CD creation fee — 0.1% of CD amount, donated to @fuegoxfg (Fuego Development Fund). Not CD yield, not treasury.

Epoch distribution (conceptual)

Exact formulas live in Currency::calculateCdInterest and blockchain fee-pool accounting. Loyalty / tier bonuses may adjust effective yield where enabled.

Privacy

Principal and accrued interest remain under commitments. Observers see existence and maturity, not amounts.

Estimating yield

Atomic units: 1 XFG/HEAT coin = 10,000,000 (COIN).
