Yield Strategies
How USX Generates Yield Through DeFi Strategies
USX generates yield for sUSX holders by deploying capital into carefully selected onchain DeFi strategies through Blend's non-custodial coordination layer. Your funds are automatically deployed across lending markets, tranching systems, and liquidity venues, then rebalanced as market conditions change.
Distribution Timeline
Temporary Schedule (Jan-Feb 2026): Yield is distributed twice monthly through an epoch-based system. This ensures fair distribution while we develop an improved smart contract with built-in duration tracking.
See Yield Distribution Schedule for more information.
What Are Onchain Yield Strategies?
Onchain yield strategies are DeFi opportunities that generate stable, predictable returns. USX.Capital utilizes protocols like Aave, Euler, and Pendle to deploy capital into vetted lending markets and liquidity venues. Each strategy is selected based on risk-adjusted returns and market conditions.
How Strategies Are Executed
Blend's coordination layer automates the entire process:
Automated deployment across multiple DeFi protocols simultaneously
Continuous rebalancing as market conditions and yields change
Risk enforcement through strict parameters that protect your principal
Which Protocols Are Supported?
Funds are deployed across audited vaults and apps such as:
Aave: Major lending platform
Euler: Lending protocols
Pendle: Yield trading and liquidity venues
Morpho: Optimized lending markets
And many more.
You can always find which all apps are used here: https://www.usx.capital/dashboard.
These are continuously evaluated and may expand as new opportunities emerge.
Yield Distribution Schedule
Yield accrues continuously, but distributions follow a specific schedule.
Current Distribution (Jan-Feb 2026)
During this temporary period, yield is distributed twice monthly through an epoch-based system. This ensures fair distribution while the team develops an improved smart contract with built-in duration tracking.
Distribution timing:
Distributions occur twice per month
Each epoch is designated in advance
No manual action required: yield deposits to your wallet automatically
After February 2026, the distribution system will transition to the new smart contract, which will include more frequent distributions and built-induration tracking.
How Yield Accrues
Yield accrues continuously as DeFi strategies generate returns
The value of your sUSX increases automatically
No action required: just hold sUSX
Security and Risk Management
Your capital's safety is enforced through multiple mechanisms:
Strict risk parameters that safeguard principal by limiting exposure to any single strategy
Audit verification: partner protocols are rigorously audited (e.g., Blend has 6 security audits)
Common Questions
Q: How much yield can I expect?
A: Yield varies based on onchain DeFi returns. Historical performance doesn't guarantee future results. Check the USX dashboard for real-time strategy performance and projected returns.
Q: Is there a minimum amount to stake?
A: No. You can stake any amount, from $1 to $1M+. There are no minimums.
Q: When do I receive my yield?
A: Yield is distributed twice monthly during the current epoch-based system (Jan-Feb 2026). After that, distributions will be more frequent.
Q: Can I withdraw my funds anytime?
A: Yes. You can unstake sUSX for USX anytime. Note: Unstaking (sUSX → USX) incurs a 0.05% fee and require a 15-day processing window.
Q: What if a partner protocol fails?
A: Strategy diversification and position limits prevent any single protocol failure from causing total loss. The reserve fund provides additional protection (minimum 2% of principal).
Q: How are strategies chosen?
A: Strategies are evaluated based on risk-adjusted returns, protocol reputation, audit status, and market conditions. The team continuously monitors and rebalances allocations.
Q: Do I need to do anything to earn yield?
A: No. Just hold sUSX. Yield accrues automatically as strategies generate returns.
Q: What's the difference between USX and sUSX?
A: USX is the stablecoin (equal to $1). sUSX is the yield-bearing version you receive when staking USX. sUSX's value increases as yield accrues.
Yield generation for sUSX (staked USX) happens through onchain strategies, i.e., DeFi yield opportunities powered by Blend.

How the strategy works
USX.Capital leverages Blend's non-custodial coordination layer to deploy capital across carefully selected yield opportunities on multiple blockchains. These strategies include lending markets, tranching systems, and liquidity venues that generate stable, predictable returns.
Through Blend's automation system, your funds are:
Automatically deployed to selected opportunities across DeFi protocols such as Aave, Euler, and Pendle
Rebalanced as market conditions change
Enforced by strict risk parameters that safeguard your principal
The key advantage of this approach is security: your capital remains in individual Gnosis Safe wallets where you maintain full signing authority.
This creates isolation between user accounts, significantly reducing security risks compared to traditional pooled approaches.
