How compounding works
A plain explanation of how Bastion accrues and compounds USDT yield — without leverage theatre.
1. Accrual
When you stake USDT, your position is recorded against a vault term (flexible, 30-day, or 90-day). Yield accrues according to the APY published for that term at deposit, subject to the fee schedule.
2. Compounding
For positions that compound, earned yield is periodically added to the staking base so subsequent accrual applies to a larger balance. Frequency depends on vault configuration and network conditions.
3. What APY means here
APY is an annualized expression of the rate. It is not a promise of daily profit equal to APY ÷ 365 in every market condition. Realized return can differ after fees, pauses, or early exit.
4. Claiming & maturity
- Flexible — withdraw principal and net yield when settlement is available
- Fixed term — principal unlocks at maturity; early exit may reduce net proceeds
5. Studio projections
The Stake Studio calculator on the homepage is an estimator for education. It does not execute a stake until you confirm a wallet transaction.
