# stUSDT > Unleash yields in real-world assets stUSDT is a decentralized real-world asset staking protocol operating across multiple blockchain networks. It lets users stake USDT to receive a rebasing token that accrues yield from real-world asset investments. stUSDT is a decentralized protocol that lets users stake USD stablecoins to gain exposure to real-world asset investments. Staking USDT mints stUSDT, a rebasing token that automatically accrues yield while remaining redeemable one to one for the underlying stablecoin. The protocol targets stablecoin holders and decentralized finance participants seeking passive income from low-risk, real-world investment strategies rather than purely on-chain yield sources. The platform channels staked funds into real-world assets such as short-term government bonds, with returns distributed to holders through periodic rebasing rather than discrete transfers. Governance and oversight of the investment strategy and asset management are handled by a decentralized community structure intended to keep the process transparent and auditable. This approach positions the protocol as an on-chain counterpart to traditional money market funds, linking conventional fixed income markets with blockchain-based liquidity. stUSDT operates across multiple blockchain networks, allowing the rebasing token to be transferred, used as collateral, or integrated into compatible decentralized finance applications while it continues to accrue yield. It publishes disclosures on its underlying reserves and investment performance to support user confidence. The protocol serves retail stablecoin holders as well as decentralized finance participants combining staking mechanics with real-world asset exposure. - Type: Protocol - Sector: DeFi - Status: Active - Founded: 2023-07-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/stusdt ## Products - [stUSDT Platform](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stusdt): stUSDT Platform is a stablecoin yield protocol where users stake USDT and receive stUSDT, a rebasing receipt token. Staked funds are allocated to short-term government bonds and onchain lending markets, with rewards distributed through a daily rebase that keeps stUSDT redeemable one-to-one for USDT. Holders can wrap stUSDT into a non-rebasing token for DeFi applications that need fixed balances, and the platform runs on multiple blockchains. (RWA Tokenisation Platform, Live, Main Product) ## Assets - [Staked USDT (stUSDT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stusdt): stUSDT is a liquid staking token representing USDT staked on the stUSDT Platform. It is used to earn yield from short-term government bonds and onchain lending while remaining transferable across DeFi applications. Its balance rebases daily to pass on rewards, keeping each token redeemable one-to-one for USDT. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs)) - [Wrapped Staked USDT (wstUSDT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stusdt): wstUSDT is a wrapped token representing stUSDT on the stUSDT Platform. It is used in DeFi applications that cannot handle rebasing balances, while still accruing the yield earned by stUSDT. Unlike stUSDT, its balance stays constant and its exchange rate against stUSDT rises over time to reflect earned rewards.
