How Staking Works

The Process Flow

Your USDTu → Staking Contract → LP Tokens → AI Investment → Pool Growth → LP Price ↑

1. Deposit: Send USDTu to staking contract

2. Mint: Receive LP tokens at current price

3. Invest: AI agents use pooled funds for trading

4. Update: Oracle updates LP price hourly

5. Withdraw: Burn LP tokens for USDTu/USDT-ERC20 at current price

LP Token Calculation

LP Tokens Received = Stake Amount ÷ Current LP Price

Example: Stake 1,000 USDTu when LP price is 1.05

• LP Tokens = 1,000 ÷ 1.05 = 952.38 LP tokens

Yield Generation

AI-Powered Returns

• Protocol Analysis: AI analyzes DeFi protocols on Waves 24/7

• Strategy Execution: Automated lending/staking based on ML models

• Risk Management: Position limits and stop-loss mechanisms

• Diversification: Spread across multiple investment strategies

Price Appreciation Model

New LP Price = (Total Pool Value + Investment Gains) ÷ Total LP Supply

• No Token Inflation: Yield through price appreciation

• Hourly Updates: Oracle updates prices every 60 minutes

• Compound Growth: Gains reinvested automatically

Fees and Costs

Staking Fees

• Protocol Fee: 0.3% of stake amount (sent to treasury at staking)

• Withdrawal Fee: 0% (no fee to unstake)
