# 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 an RWA tokenization protocol that lets users stake USD-pegged stablecoins in exchange for a receipt token representing exposure to real-world assets. Staked funds are allocated by a decentralized governance community into low-risk instruments such as short-term government bonds, with rewards distributed through a daily rebasing mechanism that maintains a 1:1 exchange rate with the underlying stablecoin. Users can also wrap the receipt token into a non-rebasing variant for use across decentralized applications. The platform operates across multiple blockchain networks and relies on oracle price feeds to monitor stablecoin price stability. (RWA Tokenisation Platform, Live, Main Product) ## Assets - [Staked USDT (stUSDT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stusdt): stUSDT is a liquid staking token representing staked USDT on the stUSDT Platform, operating on TRON and Ethereum networks. It is used to receive staking rewards distributed through a daily rebase, maintaining transferability across DeFi protocols. The rebasing mechanism increases the quantity of stUSDT tokens in a user's wallet over time, reflecting the earnings generated from the underlying RWA investments, which allows holders to watch their balance grow automatically as the protocol invests staked USDT in assets like short-term government bonds. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs)) - [Wrapped Staked USDT (wstUSDT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stusdt): wstUSDT is a wrapped token representing staked USDT on the stUSDT platform, deployed on Ethereum and Tron. It is used to provide exposure to real-world asset yields in DeFi protocols that require fixed-balance tokens. Unlike its rebasing counterpart stUSDT, wstUSDT holds a constant token balance while its exchange rate against stUSDT rises over time, reflecting accumulated yield.
