APR

Annual percentage rate: in DeFi yield displays, an annualized rate usually quoted without compounding periodic returns.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

APR puts a rate on an annual scale without assuming that each payout is reinvested. A DeFi display can change as rates or incentive rewards change, so the number may describe current conditions rather than a fixed year-long result. Regulated borrowing disclosures can use more specific definitions of APR.
