Trust Vault

The Trust Vault is usmewe’s core liquidity mechanism, inspired by 3Jane. It allows users to stake USDC to earn yield while providing liquidity for protocol lending.
Trust Vault Architecture

How It Works

Key Features

Stake USDC

Deposit USDC and receive tmUSDC (Trust Mint USDC) receipt tokens

Earn Yield

5-10% APY from borrower interest payments

Zero Collateral Loans

Borrow based on Trust Score, no locked assets

Insurance Protection

10% fee funds Insurance Pool covering defaults

tmUSDC Token

When you stake USDC, you receive tmUSDC (Trust Mint USDC):
  • 1:1 initial ratio - Deposit 100 USDC, receive 100 tmUSDC
  • Yield-bearing - tmUSDC value increases as borrowers pay interest
  • Redeemable - Exchange tmUSDC back for USDC + accrued yield
  • Transferable - tmUSDC can be sent to other wallets

Interest Rate Model

The vault uses a utilization-based interest rate model:
Higher utilization = higher rates for both borrowers and stakers. The model incentivizes new deposits when liquidity is low.

Risk Considerations

Staking in the Trust Vault carries risks. Please understand them before depositing.
