It has been already "proven" above by others, but if you insist on further illustrating such simple calculations, then there you go. Borrowed amount of USDD = 1000 Supplied amount of USDD = 1000 Current USDD borrow APY = 5.17% Current USDD (total) supply APY = 8.12% After exactly 1 year, assuming USDD borrow APY and total supply APY have been same all the time: Profit from supplying USDD = 1000 * 0.0812 = 81.2 Debt from borrowing USDD = 1000 * 0.0517 = 51.7 Resulting absolute change in USDD balance = 81.2 - 51.7 = 29.5 Resulting relative change in USDD balance = 29.5 / 1000 = +2.95%
