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)
