Fees: Veda vaults may be subject to management and performance fees, which are automatically deducted and reflected in net returns.
Accounting: Liquid ETH's price is updated periodically onchain. Price increases stepwise rather than reflecting real-time mark-to-market.
Risks: Smart contract risk (potential total loss), market risk (depegs, rate volatility), and counterparty risk (centralized components in some protocols).
Data Sources: Unless otherwise stated, all data presented in the report is obtained from on-chain sources. Any supplementary sources are explicitly noted where applicable.
