Updates
Discover the latest updates, improvements, and features of the Usual protocol.
May 30, 2025
We’ve rolled out a complete redesign of the Usual Hub, making it easier to monitor and navigate everything across the protocol. What's new:
Cross-chain portfolio tracking across Ethereum and Arbitrum
Full visibility into all positions across Usual products and partner integrations
Integrated governance: browse all proposals, without leaving the dApp
Alongside the Hub, the navigation bar has been revamped for faster access to key features and smoother movement across the app. Everything you need, now streamlined in one seamless interface.
May 19, 2025
Liquidity provisioning just got an upgrade. The USD0/USDC pool is now live on Fluid, unlocking a new layer of capital-efficient liquidity for stablecoin strategies, with full integration into the Usual dApp.
By providing liquidity, users earn:
Trading fees from deeper, more optimized liquidity ranges
Lending yield through Fluid’s smart relending architecture
USUAL rewards, tracked and claimable directly via the Usual dApp
Built on Fluid’s dual-income design, this pool turns passive deposits into multi-dimensional yield, without idle capital. Liquidity providers benefit from tighter spreads, better execution, and superior capital efficiency. The pool is now live. Track your positions and rewards in one place: on-chain and composable.
Support for Equilibria and Penpie (Nov 27th Markets)
We’ve added full support for the November 27th maturity markets on Equilibria and Penpie. Users can now view their positions and claim associated USUAL rewards directly from the dApp.
Refreshed Yield Cards
The yield opportunity cards have been redesigned with a cleaner layout, making it easier to scan key metrics, compare APYs at a glance, and select the most relevant vaults.
Euler USD0++ Vault Integration
The Euler USD0++ Vault is now fully integrated into the dApp. Users can track their positions and claim USUAL rewards without relying on external distribution. This replaces the previous reward distribution handled externally by the Euler team.
April 29, 2025
The Usual TAC vault is now live on the dApp, offering USD0++ holders an all-in-one route to farm TAC rewards while continuing to earn daily USUAL incentives: no extra steps, no missed yield.
Here's what you get:
USUAL rewards from USD0++ deposits
TAC campaign points pre-launch
TAC token incentives post-launch
The strategy is structured in two phases:
Ethereum Phase: Users deposit USD0++ and earn USUAL + TAC campaign points. Funds remain on Ethereum during the pre-launch phase of the TAC chain. Note: Early withdrawal before migration forfeits TAC points.
TAC Mainnet Phase: Upon TAC’s launch, vault positions migrate to the new chain. TAC rewards are distributed via vault shares, redeemable in USD0++.
Combined, the estimated APY reaches ~35%, layered across current yield and projected incentives. This vault captures a unique early-mover advantage into one of the most anticipated L1 launches of the year, without leaving the Usual ecosystem & rewards.
April 24, 2025
Users can now track their USD0, USD0++, and USUAL holdings on Arbitrum directly from the Usual dApp.
This update brings seamless visibility across Ethereum and Arbitrum, letting users monitor their balances and portfolio distribution in one unified interface: no need to switch networks or tools. It also pave the way for all future chains tracking.
Multi-chain, simplified.
April 15, 2025
The Usual Sky vault is live on the dApp, offering USD0++ holders access to sUSDS, the yield-bearing stable asset from Sky Protocol, built for decentralized, capital-efficient savings.
By depositing into the Vault, users earn:
Sky’s Savings Yield via sUSDS (currently ~4.5% APY, auto-compounding)
Daily USUAL rewards (currently ~14% APY)
Here's how it works:
USD0++ is swapped into sUSDS via a 1:1 exchange path through USD0
Funds are deposited into Sky Protocol and tracked via usUSDS++ share tokens
Withdrawals are processed in USD0++
This strategy combines consistent, governance-driven yield with the daily USUAL rewards, giving users dual exposure to two robust DeFi ecosystems in one streamlined Vault. Deposit now: earn more, stay composable, and keep it all on-chain.
April 9, 2025
The Usual dApp now offers a complete in-app experience for vaults—no need to navigate elsewhere.
Deposit into vaults directly from the Usual dApp
View key vault details, including curators, asset exposure, and fees
Track your balances, APY, and pending orders from a single interface
External infra providers like Lagoon are fully integrated, so everything runs smoothly in one place
This update makes it easier than ever to access and manage vaults—all without leaving the dApp.
April 7, 2025
The Revenue Switch now runs on Brevis ZK proofs, enabling users to claim their USD0 rewards directly from the dApp with no restrictions. Rewards are still distributed on a weekly epoch basis, but the experience is now faster, smoother, and fully on-chain—just as it should be.
March 28, 2025
USUAL and USD0 are now live on BNB and Base, powered by CCIP. You can bridge them seamlessly via transporter.io and expand your reach across ecosystems.
Also live: USUAL on Arbitrum, available now on interport.fi and coming soon to Stargate.
More chains and soon more ways to use USUAL and USD0.
March 21, 2025
The navigation just got an upgrade. We’ve introduced a new “Explore” tab, giving you quick access to Usual Protocol’s documentation, transparency page, governance, and blog—all in one place.
Added
Faster USUAL Rewards Claiming – Rewards are now verified in just 3 days instead of 7, giving users quicker access to their earned USUAL. Whether you're earning >8.4% APY by holding USD0++ or >30% through USL, your rewards now arrive faster.
Improvements
Hype Module TVL Adjustment – USUALx is no longer included in the Hype Module’s TVL, which now focuses solely on USD0 and Lagoon vault shares.
Vault Index UI Enhancements – Made small UI improvements to the Vaults index page for a smoother experience.
March 17, 2025
The first Usual Vault is here. USD0++ holders can now gain exposure to stUSR through the ustUSR++ Vault, while continuing to earn USUAL rewards. Designed for capital efficiency, this vault leverages Lagoon’s infrastructure to help users stack yield opportunities while maintaining exposure to high-performing assets.
Alongside this, a new Vaults page is now live on the dApp, making it easier to track all active vaults and get a sneak peek at upcoming ones.
Why use Vaults?
Earn multiple yields – Unlock layered yield strategies while staying exposed to top assets.
Better capital efficiency – Deploy capital more effectively without losing access to liquidity.
Seamless access – No need to actively manage positions—just deposit and let the vaults work for you.
More vaults are on the way, and this is just the beginning.
Improved
dApp Success Module TVL – Now includes USUALx and Lagoon vault shares instead of just USD0.
Protocol Treasury – Added future fees from the Lagoon vault.
Tech Debt – Various backend improvements for better stability and performance.
Added
Treasury Fix – Resolved an issue where Euler dUSD0 was double-counted in the yield treasury.
