Staking turns USDh into sUSDh: one transaction in, a 30-day wait out. There is no minimum, no account and no identity check. Staking is not offered in some places, including the UK and the EU. See who can use USDh.
Staking runs on a smart contract protocol that the USDh issuer does not control. sUSDh is not a deposit. Rewards change, are not guaranteed, and can be zero. Read the Staking terms and Staking risks before you stake.

​
What staking actually does

Two things happen when you stake. On the blockchain, your USDh moves into the staking contract and you receive sUSDh. Off the blockchain, the dollars behind your USDh are lent to other governments, in dollars, instead of the US government. That is what funds rewards, and it is also the extra risk. See sUSDh.

​
Stake

1

Enter an amount

In the app, open Stake and enter how much USDh to stake. Under Receive, the app shows the sUSDh you will get: the USDh you stake divided by the current sUSDh price.
2

Check the details

Below the button you’ll see the Exchange Rate (for example, 1 sUSDh = 1.019 USDh), the Staking Fee, which is zero, and the exit period.
3

Approve and confirm

The first time, approve USDh in your wallet. Then press Stake and confirm.
Your sUSDh appears in Portfolio. The number of sUSDh you hold never changes on its own. What changes is how much USDh each one is worth. The reward rate shown in the app is the rate approved today. It is not a promise, it can change at any time, and it can be zero.

​
Unstake

Leaving takes two steps and a 30-day wait. Here is exactly how it works:
1

Ask to unstake

In Portfolio, press Unstake and choose how many sUSDh to exit. They are burned at once, and the USDh you will receive is fixed at the sUSDh price at that moment. Rewards stop building up on this amount from then on.
2

Wait 30 days

Your pending exit shows under Cooldown in Portfolio.
3

Claim

When the wait ends, press Claim and your USDh arrives in your wallet. It is not sent automatically.
Two things to plan around:
  • Asking again restarts the clock. If you ask to unstake more while you are already waiting, both amounts are combined at an average price, and the full 30 days start again for the total. If timing matters, claim first, then ask again.
  • Your price is fixed when you ask. If the sUSDh price rises during your wait, your pending exit does not gain from it.

​
Fees

Staking and unstaking are free. You only pay Ethereum’s network fee. Any fee that applies to a transaction is shown in the app before you confirm. This page is for information only. It is not an offer, a promise or advice. Last updated: Nov 10, 2026
