Calculating the APY Using Rate Per Block

Search…

The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for supplying or borrowing in each market can be calculated using the value of supplyRatePerBlock (for supply APY) or borrowRatePerBlock (for borrow APY) in this formula:
Rate = aToken.supplyRatePerBlock(); // Integer
Rate = 37893566
ETH Mantissa = 1 * 10 ^ 18 (ETH has 18 decimal places)
Blocks Per Day = 4 * 60 * 24 (based on 4 blocks occurring every minute)
Days Per Year = 365
​
APY = ((((Rate / ETH Mantissa * Blocks Per Day + 1) ^ Days Per Year - 1)) - 1) * 100
Here is an example of calculating the supply and borrow APY with Web3.js JavaScript:
const ethMantissa = 1e18;
const blocksPerDay = 4 * 60 * 24;
const daysPerYear = 365;
​
const aToken = new web3.eth.Contract(sEthAbi, sEthAddress);
const supplyRatePerBlock = await aToken.methods.supplyRatePerBlock().call();
const borrowRatePerBlock = await aToken.methods.borrowRatePerBlock().call();
const supplyApy = (((Math.pow((supplyRatePerBlock / ethMantissa * blocksPerDay) + 1, daysPerYear))) - 1) * 100;
const borrowApy = (((Math.pow((borrowRatePerBlock / ethMantissa * blocksPerDay) + 1, daysPerYear))) - 1) * 100;
console.log(`Supply APY for ETH ${supplyApy} %`);
console.log(`Borrow APY for ETH ${borrowApy} %`);
