# 🔵 BFR ### Protocol Overview Buffer Finance is a non-custodial, exotic options trading platform built to trade short-term price volatility and hedge risk of high-leverage positions. ### Where does the yield come from? $BFR is the utility and governance token that accrues up to 40% of the fees generated by the platform. These fees are paid out in $USDC and we convert rewards back into $BFR and re-stake for you. Your $BFR will accrue over time. ### What are the risks involved? The main risk involved in holding and staking $BFR is the value of the token going down over time. If you are bullish on $BFR then this may be a good vault to deposit into. ### Fees RLD Takes a 5% performance fee on every compound. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
