Reinvestment Curve Error

Definition

A reinvestment curve error describes a flaw in financial models or smart contracts that incorrectly calculates or projects the returns from reinvested earnings or capital. This error can lead to inaccurate estimations of future yield or total asset growth, particularly in compounding scenarios. Such miscalculations can misrepresent the true profitability of a decentralized finance protocol or investment strategy. It often arises from faulty interest rate models or compounding logic.
