Restaking for Compounded Yields

Lock your sUSDQ to earn higher returns

What is Restaking?

USDQ allows users to restake their sUSDQ into fixed-term vaults to access boosted yield. By committing sUSDQ for a defined lock-up period, users help the protocol optimize longer-horizon strategies, and in return, receive enhanced yield rewards.

Users choose from available durations — such as 3 months, 6 months, or other terms — with longer terms typically offering higher returns.

Upon restaking, the protocol issues an ERC-721 NFT representing the locked position. This NFT records the staked amount, lock duration, start and maturity time, and reward entitlement.


Why Restake?

  • Higher APY: Longer lock-ups, higher yield multipliers

  • Compounded Returns: Boosted yield added to your sUSDQ base

  • Ownership via NFT: Your restake is recorded and verifiable on-chain


Technical Structure

ERC-721 NFTs for Restake Positions

USDQ uses the ERC-721 standard to tokenize each user's restake position. Each NFT is unique and encodes:

Field
Description

Principal

Amount of sUSDQ locked in the restake vault

Rewards

Boosted yield earned over the lock duration

Start Time

UNIX timestamp of restake initiation

Duration

Total lock period (in seconds)

Maturity

Timestamp at which the user can redeem the NFT

Status

Indicates if the position is Active, Matured, or Redeemed

These NFTs are transferable (if enabled) and verifiable on-chain via block explorers like Etherscan.


Redemption at Maturity

Once the lock-up term ends:

  • Users redeem the NFT to claim their restaked sUSDQ plus boosted yield;

  • The NFT is burned after redemption;

  • Funds are returned to the user's wallet or re-entered into the main staking vault.


Restaking allows users to maximize returns while contributing to deeper protocol stability. Learn more about underlying yield sources in the Yield Generation section.
