Is boosting JLP always profitable?

Fees

Risks

+

+ No. For one, there is a real risk of liquidation. If the price of JLP + drops below your liquidation threshold you will lose some or all of your + JLP. +

+

+ There are also fees and costs for borrowing USDC that will affect your + positions profitability. +

+

USDC Borrow Rate

+

+ This variable APR can change significantly and frequently depending on + the ratio or USDC deposits and borrows. It is charged continuosly on the + balance of your USDC borrow and paid to USDC depositors (lenders) on + Boost!. +

+

USDC Loan Origination Fee

+

+ This is a one-time, 50 basis points (0.5%) fee applied to the balance of + your USDC borrow and paid to Mango DAO. +

+

JLP Collateral Fee

+

+ This is charged on your JLP collateral as insurance in case JLP blows up + and can't be liquidated. It will reduce the size of your JLP + position over time. This fee accrues to Mango DAO. +

+

Position Entry Costs

+

+ When boosting JLP the USDC you borrow gets swapped via Jupiter to more + JLP. This can incur some slippage resulting in an entry price worse than + expected. +

+

+ So, for boosting JLP to be profitable the extra yield needs to be + greater than these costs. It can also take some time for your position + to be in profit because of the upfront fees paid to borrow USDC. +

+

Boosting USDC

+

+ Boosting USDC is simply supplying it to the lending pool. Your USDC + balance will lent to JLP boosters and will continously earn the variable + interest rate. +

+

+ There are no fees associated with lending USDC but there are risks. If + there was a catastrophic failure in JLP or Boost! you could lose all of + your funds. +
