  • Spread Reward per Unit Liquidity: This is the reward earned from the spread for providing liquidity, expressed per unit.
  • Incentive Reward per Unit Liquidity: This is any additional incentive reward for providing liquidity, also expressed per unit.
  • Base Price: The standardized value of one unit of liquidity in the pool, used to convert the reward values into a comparable base.
  • Seconds in a Year: Represents the total number of seconds in a year, used for annualizing the return. It's calculated as ( 365.25 \times 24 \times 60 \times 60 ) to account for leap years.
  • Calculation Time Duration: The duration in seconds over which the rewards were calculated
