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

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

Points program
FeathersSeasonal airdrops continue after TGE. Season 3 started November 2025 (official X). Later seasons are known only from secondary sources.
Community allocation
5% of the 10B supply in the first airdrop at TGE, plus 2.1% about three months later (official blog).
