Staking USDQ
Earn passive yield by staking your USDQ into protocol vaults
What is sUSDQ?
sUSDQ is the yield-bearing version of USDQ, and forms a key part of USDQ's two-token architecture. Users receive sUSDQ when they stake USDQ into protocol-managed vaults, which are built on the ERC-4626 standard — the DeFi-native interface for tokenized yield strategies. Upon staking, users are issued an amount of sUSDQ based on the current exchange rate between sUSDQ and USDQ, which gradually increases over time as yield accrues.
How It Works
When users deposit USDQ into the staking vault, they receive sUSDQ tokens in return.
The exchange rate (
sUSDQ / USDQ) increases over time as yield is earned and distributed.Users can redeem sUSDQ back into USDQ at any time, reflecting both the original principal and accumulated yield.
This model allows sUSDQ to automatically compound yield within a single token, improving user experience and enabling composability across DeFi.
Key Formulae
Current Exchange Rate:
sUSDQ-to-USDQ =
Total sUSDQ Supply ÷ (Total USDQ Staked + Total Yield)sUSDQ Received on Stake:
sUSDQ Minted = USDQ Staked ÷ Current Exchange RateAs yields grow, the denominator increases → exchange rate rises → each sUSDQ becomes redeemable for more USDQ.
ERC-4626 Vault Integration
USDQ’s staking vaults follow the ERC-4626 standard, enabling:
Unified logic for deposits, withdrawals, and yield accounting；
Compatibility with external DeFi protocols；
Safer, more composable staking across the ecosystem。
This ensures transparent, standardized staking for users — and makes sUSDQ a plug-and-play asset for integrations like lending, LPs, or vault strategies.
