I lend USDC long-term. HUMA has had its TGE, and I stake it too.
Lending and yield
- Deposit
- USDC
- Typical APY
- About 8% a year (Classic, variable)
- Rewards
- Yield from payment financing paid in USDC, plus Feathers
- Note
- In Huma 2.0, Classic mode pays USDC yield plus Feathers, while Maxi mode gives up the yield for more Feathers. You can choose no lockup, 3 months or 6 months; longer locks raise the Feathers multiplier (official docs). HUMA staking rewards are also paid in Feathers. Yields change over time.
TGE and points

- Staking rewards are paid in Feathers points and count toward each season's airdrop allocation (official blog).
