Staking and Earning Interest with USDton

Once users have minted USDtg or hold USDT, they can opt to earn interest by participating in Upton Finance’s high-yield product, USDton:

  • Deposit into USDton: Users can deposit USDtg or USDT into USDton, which operates like a decentralized high-yield savings account.

  • Yield Generation: Basis arbitrage (CeDeFi) provides a native yield that is currently inaccessible to the vast majority of on-chain users.

  • Minting USDton: USDton is minted with $USDT and $TON, no fiat exposure and no overcollateralization required. Unlike traditional stablecoins, USDton is yield-bearing, similar to wstETH, with its price continuously appreciating to reflect accrued interest.

    • Token Issuance: In exchange for their deposits, users receive $USDton tokens, representing their staked assets within the protocol.

  2. Earning Returns:

    • Holding $USDton Tokens: By simply holding $USDton tokens, users start earning returns. These tokens are designed to appreciate in value, reflecting the interest accrued over time.

    • Secure Custody: To ensure the safety of user funds, all staked assets are stored with reputable third-party custodians like Ceffu. This adds an extra layer of security to the protocol.
