  • Join the Community: Shape the future of AI-driven DeFi on Telegram.

What is USDe?

USDe ($5B+ FDV) by Ethena Labs is a derivatives-backed stablecoin designed to thrive in volatile markets. Here’s how it works:

  1. Mint: Deposit USDT/USDC to create USDe.

  2. Hedge: Collateral is delegated to exchanges (e.g., Binance) to open delta-neutral short positions.

  3. Earn: Yield is generated from perpetual futures funding fees (paid by leveraged traders).

  • Key Innovation: Turns market volatility into stable income.

What is LevelUSD (lvlUSD)?

lvlUSD ($100M+ FDV) by Level Finance transforms idle stablecoins into yield machines:

  1. Mint: Deposit USDT/USDC to mint lvlUSD.

  2. Deploy: Collateral is lent via protocols like Aave/Compound.

  3. Earn: Interest from borrowers flows to stakers.

  • Key Innovation: Permissionless access to DeFi’s best rates.

Why List USDe & lvlUSD?

At MAITRIX, our decision to integrate USDe and lvlUSD stems from a strategic vision to redefine decentralized finance through hybrid yield models. By combining USDe’s derivatives-driven stability (which captures yield from crypto futures markets) with lvlUSD’s lending-powered returns (generated via DeFi protocols), we aim to create diversified income streams for users while laying the groundwork for machine-driven yield optimization—a future where AI agents autonomously allocate assets across strategies.

However, this vision faces current technical challenges. While the ideal scenario would support staked derivatives like sUSDe and slvlUSD (enabling users to earn both MAITRIX rewards and native yields), our platform currently accepts only native USDe and lvlUSD. This means users must temporarily choose between protocol incentives and the original yield mechanisms. Additionally, integrating staked assets requires smart contract upgrades, which are actively in development.

Why does this listing matter? It reflects MAITRIX’s core philosophy: innovation over perfection. By launching now, we:

  • Reward early adopters with exclusive 2x RED PILL rewards*, incentivizing participation in this experimental phase.

  • Gather critical data to refine hybrid yield models and accelerate support for staked derivatives.

  • Signal our commitment to building infrastructure that prioritizes long-term scalability over short-term convenience.

The road ahead includes technical upgrades to unlock dual-yield farming and AI-driven strategies. For now, we invite the community to join us in shaping a future where DeFi transcends human limitations—one stake at a time.

Earn Rewards* by Staking $USDe & $lvlUSD: 200% RED PILL bonus for the first week

  • Daily Yield Distribution: Stake your $USDe / $lvlUSD and earn a 20% annual yield, distributed on a daily basis.

  • Sustainable Supply Expansion: Rewards are generated through a controlled expansion of the stablecoin supply, ensuring the system’s long-term sustainability.

  • Redemption Fee: A 0.5% fee is applied when unstaking to discourage short-term speculation.

  • Lock-In Period: A 30-day unlock period is enforced to maintain stable liquidity across the platform.

Example: If you stake 1,000 USDe for one year, you will earn an additional 200 USDe over the course of the year (distributed daily).
