  Calculating APY in the context of cryptocurrency is similar to calculating it for traditional investments. You'll need to consider the interest rate, compounding frequency, and time period. The formula for APY is: APY = (1 + r/n)^(n*t) - 1 Where: - r is the nominal interest rate - n is the number of compounding periods per year - t is the number of years For example, if you have a nominal interest rate of 6%, compounding monthly (n = 12), and you want to calculate the APY for 2 years (t = 2), the formula would be: APY = (1 + 0.06/12)^(12*2) - 1 Simplifying the equation gives you: APY = (1.005)^24 - 1 Which equals approximately 0.1255, or 12.55% APY. Keep in mind that this is a simplified calculation and may not take into account other factors such as fees or changes in the cryptocurrency market.
