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.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:| Utilization | Borrow Rate | Supply APY |
|---|---|---|
| 0-50% | 2% | ~1% |
| 50-80% | 3-5% | ~3-4% |
| 80-95% | 5-10% | ~5-8% |
| 95-100% | 15%+ | ~10%+ |
Higher utilization = higher rates for both borrowers and stakers. The model incentivizes new deposits when liquidity is low.
