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:
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.
