About 94% of this 16.5% APY is decaying token emissions. The real fee yield is ~1.06%. This pool is short volatility — fees stop covering impermanent loss if CRV-CVXCRV diverges more than ±34%.
Real fee/staking yield: 1.06% · token emissions: 94% of the headline.
Break-even fact: a ±34% move in CRV-CVXCRV erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~1.06%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
