Currently, most DeFi products do not show their true rate of return to their users.&#x20;

The displayed return on investment (“ROI”) does not deduct the losses occurred in the process of operation. The true ROI of many products is actually less than that, even in negative growth.&#x20;

In other words, Universe Finance provides our users with true ROI, which plays an important role in leading the whole defi market.&#x20;
