Costs and risks
Pool fees are not a promised return. A range can lose value when the ETH price moves, even while it earns fees.
Costs
| Cost | When | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Network gas | Deposits, approvals, moves, shocks, fee collections and withdrawals | Paid in ETH. Bots pay their gas from the ETH kept for gas and never spend the last 0.010 ETH. A failed or reverted transaction can still cost gas. |
| Deposit fee | Every Pools deposit | The review shows Deposit fee $0.00. |
| Platform fee on the swapped part | An ETH-only deposit | Part of the ETH is swapped to USDG first. That swap is quoted as a normal swap; its fee shows as Swap fee on the review. See Fees and discounts. |
| Moves | Each bot move | No EVPLUS fee. Each move pays network gas and the swap pool’s own trading fee. Tight moves more often than Wide. |
| Price shocks | Each shock | Gas for its transactions. Its swap fees are inside the fill prices. The shock’s Net is the result after gas. |
Each bot range’s costs appear in its Activity rows and under More figures on its page.
Risks
Out of range. A range earns nothing while the price is outside it. A Manual range never moves. A bot range stays out of range until its bot moves it, and a Tight range can drift out of range between moves.
Impermanent loss. As the price moves, a range’s mix of ETH and USDG changes. After big moves, a range can be worth less than simply holding the tokens you put in. Compare vs HODL in the range’s performance. Bot moves also cost gas and swap fees.
Past figures. Pool APR, the bots’ APR, your Fee APR and the ”$ a day” line describe the last 24 hours. They change, and they are not a promise of future fees.
Smart contracts and the chain. Your liquidity sits in Uniswap v4 positions on Robinhood Chain, in a pool that runs EVPLUS’s hook. A fault in these contracts or on the chain can cause losses or delays.
Automation. Bots depend on EVPLUS services. A bot can be reconnecting or waiting for trading conditions, bot places can be full, and turning a bot back on after an opt-out needs a free worker slot. An EVPLUS wallet delegates signing to the platform; see Account and security.
Dollar figures on Pools count 1 USDG as $1.
