I was looking at TermMax’s HONEY Boost Yield Vault today, and one number immediately caught my attention: the vault shows about $82.8K in TVL.
What made me look twice wasn’t the size itself. It was the 10% performance fee shown on the page.
This is exactly the kind of detail I think people should check before getting excited about any DeFi vault.
If a strategy eventually generates $100 of performance, a 10% performance fee would mean $10 goes to the fee, leaving $90 before considering any other costs or conditions.
Obviously, that’s just a simple way to understand the fee, not a prediction of returns.
For me, this is why I prefer looking at the whole structure instead of chasing the biggest APY number on the screen.
Right now the page shows 0% APY, so I’m not going to pretend there’s some guaranteed yield here.
I’m more interested in understanding where the capital is going, what the vault charges, and what the actual return mechanism is.
That kind of detail tells me much more about a DeFi product than a flashy yield number ever could.
