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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tracking your rewards just got a whole lot easier. Now, you can see exactly where your claimable USUAL rewards come from, with a detailed breakdown across USD0++ and Liquidity buckets, plus the specific products you’ve invested in.

When claiming, you can now:

  • See USUAL rewards per product—no more guessing.

  • Check upcoming claimable rewards—know what’s unlocking next cycle.

  • Track all claim transactions in the new History tab.

More transparency, better tracking, and total clarity over your earnings. Enjoy the upgrade!

Improved
  • Max APY on Euler USL – The Euler USL card in the Yield Opportunities section now displays the maximum APY a user can achieve when utilizing maximum leverage.

  • Performance enhancements – Back-end and front-end updates for a smoother and more efficient experience.

Finding the right market just got simpler. Pendle products are now neatly grouped by LP/YT/PT, with all maturities organized under each category. Morpho markets are now grouped by their respective lending assets—so when multiple markets exist (e.g., USD0++, USD0USD0++), they’re all in one place.

No more endless scrolling through the Products Table—just a cleaner, faster way to find exactly what you need.

Added
  • New Morpho markets – The front-end now displays new Morpho markets under the USD0 vault: USD0++/USD0 and USD0USD0++/USD0.

  • Morpho USD0 vault – Added a Morpho USD0 vault yield card to the dApp and included it in the Products Table.

Fixed
  • Claim rewards update – Fixed a bug where the claimable amount didn’t update immediately after a successful reward claim—no more page refresh needed.

  • USL sub-account balances – USL on Euler now correctly includes all sub-accounts when displaying balances in the dApp.

  • USUAL* display fixes – Resolved an issue causing loading skeletons to appear for balances and APYs for users with USUAL* in their connected wallets.
