DCA Strategies Using MaxFi Positions

DCA Meets Yield

Standard DCA means buying and holding. With MaxFi, every dollar you deposit starts earning fees right away.

Your week-one deposit earns fees for 52 weeks. Your week-two deposit earns for 51 weeks. Each deposit stacks on top of the last. Your fee income grows every week.

Think of it like planting a garden. Each week you plant a new seed. The first seeds are already producing fruit while you are still planting.

Strategy 1: Weekly Same-Pool Deposits

This is the simplest approach. Pick one pool. Deposit the same amount every week.

How to do it:

1. Go to maxfi.tech/deposit
2. Pick your pool (for example, WETH/USDC 0.30%)
3. Deposit your weekly amount
4. Come back next week and open another position in the same pool

Each new position earns fees independently. Over time, you build a collection of positions all working for you.

Alternatively, withdraw your existing position and redeposit with the combined amount for one larger position. Set a calendar reminder. Make it a habit.

Strategy 2: Monthly New Positions

Instead of adding to one position, open a new position each month.

This gives you natural diversification across time. Each position has a different entry point. Some will perform better than others. Together, they smooth out your results.

This also lets you try different pools or settings.

Strategy 3: Multi-Pool Portfolio Build

Build a balanced portfolio over 3 to 6 months. Split your weekly budget across different risk levels.

Example weekly plan ($200 total):

• $100 into WETH/USDC 0.30% (higher fee, higher IL)
• $50 into cbBTC/USDC 0.05% (moderate fee, moderate IL)
• $50 into a stablecoin pair (low fee, very low IL)

The high-fee pool drives most of your returns. The stablecoin pair acts as a stable base.

Fee Reinvestment as Natural DCA

When your positions earn fees, those fees accumulate. Harvest them and reinvest.

This is DCA that costs you nothing extra. Your position generates the capital. You put it back to work.

On Base, gas is cheap. Harvesting costs only a few cents. There is no reason to let fees sit idle.

Practical Tips

Start small. $50 per week is a solid start. You can always increase later.

Pick a schedule and stick to it. Consistency is the whole point of DCA.

Do not panic. Some weeks your position might be down. That is normal. DCA turns dips into opportunities.

What You Learned

• Weekly deposits build your position steadily while earning fees from day one
• Open new positions each week, or withdraw and redeposit larger for one bigger position
• Reinvesting earned fees is a form of automatic DCA
