APR means Annual Percentage Rate. It expresses a yield as a yearly rate so you can compare options.
What APR is
- A way to show how much yield an asset could earn over a year.
- A rate, not a promise. If you hold for a month, you earn roughly a twelfth of the annual rate, not the full amount.
Why it is not guaranteed
- Rates on Coinwaka Earn are promotional and variable, and can change.
- Yield comes from a funded reward source, not from money created out of nothing. If a reward source is paused, accrual can stop.
- Higher APR is not always better. A very high rate often means higher risk.
Before you subscribe
Read the terms, understand that principal and yield are different, and never expect a fixed return. Anyone promising guaranteed or risk free returns is not being honest.
