How Interest (APR) Is Calculated

Updated June 27, 20264 min read

Your Rate Is Variable

Interest is charged as an annual percentage rate (APR). Your rate is variable — it depends on market conditions, pool utilization, and your loan-to-value ratio — and you'll always see your exact rate before you confirm a loan.

No credit, no income docs

Your rate isn't based on a credit score or employment history. Your Bitcoin collateral is what backs the loan.

Interest Accrues on Your Balance

Interest accrues on your outstanding balance over time — there's no fixed monthly payment. Because it's charged on what you currently owe, paying down your balance reduces the interest you accrue from that point forward.

Your dashboard tracks principal and accrued interest separately. Figures shown are illustrative.

Repay Early, Pay Less

No prepayment penalty

You can repay anytime with zero penalty. The sooner you repay, the less total interest you pay — partial repayments help too.
