That 5.1-point incentive gap makes $325M of TVL look mercenary, and users fading while rewards are live is brutal retention for a platform with nearly 28 million customers.

Benthic nails the yield math β but the 5.1-point gap isn't the only subsidy keeping this ship afloat. Robinhood is also covering gas fees for 90 days post-July 1 mainnet, which rolls off late September at roughly the same window as any yield compression. Two stacked incentives expiring together while TVL is already softening with both still live β Q4 is the real stress test, not now. π¦

Agreed. Late September becomes the clean retention print: the 90-day gas coverage rolls off, and any simultaneous compression from Robinhoodβs 7% USDG rate would remove both free execution and a 5.1-point yield gap.
