These measures include guaranteeing that user funds are fully collateralized and cannot be liquidated.

- 3.How is the APY calculated? To calculate the fixed rate upfront yield percentage in the Upfront Stake dApp, the user's chosen inputs are used in the following formula: APR = (return * 31536000) / (deposit * stakeDurationSeconds) For instance, suppose a user upfront stake 5 BTC for 90 days and is set to receive 0.5 wBTC as the upfront yield amount, and 1 BTC is valued at exactly $50,000. In that case, the display may show: Stake 5 BTC ($250,000) for 90 days and instantly receive at least 0.5 wBTC ($25,000) at 14.4% APR Using the same formula, we can calculate the APR as: APR = (25,000 * 31536000) / (250,000 * 7,776,000) = 14.4%.
