The manual compounding problem

Many crypto platforms require you to manually claim rewards and reinvest them. Each time you compound, you pay gas fees that can range from $10-50 depending on network congestion. If you forget to compound for a month, you miss significant returns. Manual compounding is inefficient, expensive, and defeats the purpose of passive income.

Manual vs automatic compounding

Manual compounding

  • Must manually claim rewards regularly
  • Pay $10-50 gas fee each time you compound
  • Forget to compound? Miss significant returns
  • Small balances not viable (fees too high)
  • Requires constant monitoring and action
  • Not truly passive income
Annual gas costs: $120-600 (monthly)

Coinstancy automatic

  • Interest accrues every second and is automatically reinvested
  • No claiming transaction for you to pay for
  • Nothing to claim or reinvest manually
  • Works for all balance sizes (even $100)
  • Completely hands-off (set and forget)
  • True passive income (works while you sleep)
Manual actions needed: None

How automatic compounding works

1

Interest accrues

Interest accrues every second on your Savings balance.

2

Automatic reinvestment

Accrued interest is automatically reinvested, so it becomes part of the balance that earns interest.

3

Nothing to claim

You never need to claim rewards or submit a reinvestment transaction yourself.

4

Compound effect

Reinvested interest earns interest too. The APY shown is an annualised yield that already includes this effect.

The power of compounding

Time Period Simple Interest (7.50%) Automatic reinvestment (7.50% APY) Extra Earnings
Initial deposit $10,000 $10,000 $0
After 1 year $10,750 $10,750 +$0
After 3 years $12,250 $12,423 +$173
After 5 years $13,750 $14,356 +$606
After 10 years $17,500 $20,610 +$3,110

Illustrative example: over 10 years, automatic reinvestment would earn an extra $3,110 (41% more interest) compared to simple interest at the same 7.50% rate.

Dollar Savings, current fixed APY 7.50%. The APY is an annualised yield that already includes the effect of automatic reinvestment. Projection = deposit × (1 + APY)^years, assuming the current rate stays unchanged for the whole period, which is not guaranteed. Illustrative only, not a promise of future returns.

Real-world use cases

1

Long-term wealth builder

Illustrative example: Maria deposits $50,000 and leaves it for 10 years. With automatic reinvestment at the current 7.50% APY, she would earn $53,052 in interest, versus $37,500 with simple interest, if the rate stayed unchanged for the whole period (not guaranteed).

10-year comparison
$103,052 vs $87,500 (simple)
2

Small balance saver

Illustrative example: Jake only has $500 to save. On platforms requiring manual compounding, claiming transactions can cost more than the interest itself on a small balance. With Coinstancy, interest is reinvested automatically, with no claiming transaction to pay for.

After 1 year at 7.50% APY
$538
3

True passive income

Illustrative example: Robert travels frequently for work and doesn't have time to monitor his investments. He deposits $25,000 and never touches it. Because interest accrues every second and is reinvested automatically, there is nothing for him to claim or reinvest.

Frequently asked questions

How does automatic compounding work?

Interest accrues every second and is automatically reinvested. This means your interest earns interest over time.

How often is my interest compounded?

Interest accrues every second and is automatically reinvested. The APY shown is an annualised yield that already includes the effect of automatic reinvestment.

Do I pay gas fees for compounding?

No. You do not need to submit any transaction to reinvest your interest, and Coinstancy charges no fee on Savings yield.

Do I need to do anything to activate compounding?

No action required. Once you deposit into Dollar Savings, interest accrues every second and is automatically reinvested.

What's the difference between simple and compound interest?

Simple interest only earns on your initial deposit. With automatic reinvestment, you also earn on previously accumulated interest. Illustrative example: $10,000 in Dollar Savings at the current 7.50% APY over 10 years would reach $20,610, versus $17,500 with simple interest, assuming the current rate stays unchanged for the whole period, which is not guaranteed.

Is there a minimum balance for compounding to work?

Automatic reinvestment works on any balance. The minimum deposit for Dollar Savings is $10.
