How can i stake YUSD?

Last updated 4 days ago

Staking YUSD converts your stablecoins into sYUSD—an interest-bearing token that automatically compounds Bitcoin-funding-rate yield for you. The process is trust-minimised, fully on-chain, and takes only one transaction.

1. Getting started

Requirement

Why it matters

YUSD in your wallet

You can mint YUSD with collateral in the Aegis app or swap from another stable-coin on a DEX.

Supported wallet (e.g. MetaMask, Rabby)

Needed to sign the staking transaction.

Enough funds to cover the gas fees

Covers the on-chain staking call and future unstake.

2. Staking Flow (Web App)

  1. Visit the Aegis Web App

  2. Connect your wallet

    The dashboard will show your YUSD balance and the current APY.

  3. Enter amount

    Specify how much YUSD you want to stake (any amount ≥ 1 YUSD).

  4. Confirm & Sign

    • The contract deposits your YUSD

    • You receive the equivalent amount of sYUSD based on it's current market price

    • A 7-day cooldown timer starts for this deposit

  5. Done

    Your position now accrues yield automatically. No further action is needed until you wish to unstake.

3. What Happens After You Stake?

Period

What’s occurring on-chain?

What you see in the UI

Days 0-7 (cool-down)

Funds are locked; earning yield

Countdown badge “6d 23h … left”

Weekly

Protocol earn BTC funding, mints new YUSD, deposits it into the staking contract

The "value" of sYUSD increases

After Day 7

sYUSD is fully liquid

“Unstake” button becomes active

4. Unstaking (Converting back to YUSD)

  1. Open the Unstake tab.

  2. Enter the amount of sYUSD to redeem (or click “Max”).

  3. Sign the burn transaction.

  4. Receive the principal amount of YUSD you staked as well as the proportionate share of the deposited protocol yield upon unstaking.

There are no protocol fees for unstaking—only normal network gas.

5. Key Advantages

Benefit

Why it helps you

Hands-off compounding

Yield is harvested, converted, and re-staked for you. No claims, no forgotten rewards.

Near-instant liquidity

After a one-time 7-day cool-down, you can exit at any time.

Gas efficiency

One stake tx in, one tx out—no weekly claim costs.

Points Eligible

Stakers earn Aegis Points for future $AEG rewards exactly like YUSD holders.

BTC-backed transparency

Every sYUSD remains 100 % collateralised by Aegis’ delta-neutral Bitcoin reserve, viewable in real time.
