It is also important to notice this displayed APY is dynamic and can change (increase and decrease) through time mainly by two factors:

1. &#x20;Price of the reward token farmed and compounded into the principal
2. Amount of people or value locked inside the pool (usually rewards are fix so more people or TVL implies that this reward is diluted)

**How often does BlueBit vault V1 compound?**

About every 4 hours.
