They Publish Their Own Fees 🧾
Most protocols treat their own revenue like a trade secret, a number nobody outside the team actually gets to see broken down.
Theoriq reports monthly fee accrual on AlphaVault ETH split cleanly into two pieces, the AUM fee and the performance fee.
Cumulative revenue since inception is tracked openly too, and the run rate has normalized down from the launch period peaks as the fee base settled naturally.
That normalization pattern is worth noticing on its own, early spikes settling into something steadier as the vault matures.
$MKR built real trust years ago the same way, treating protocol revenue as something worth reporting rather than hiding.
$LINK exists for a similar reason on the data side, external numbers need independent verification before anyone should actually trust them.
A vault willing to show its own economics, not just the yield it pays out, is telling depositors something about how it expects to be judged.
Most teams only publish numbers that make them look good, publishing the fee mechanics too is a different kind of confidence entirely.
I take that kind of disclosure as a much stronger signal than another round of yield marketing ever could be.
