Past performance is not indicative of future results. Yields are generated through organic protocol activity and are subject to market conditions. Principal protection refers to the protocol's historical risk management performance and does not constitute a guarantee.

3 Layers of Protection

Layer 3 — Active Monitoring

Built by Market professionals: 19+ years in fintech and 9+ years in DeFi

Daily AI Market Analysis

We combine DSF’s risk expertise with AI models to detect liquidity changes, pool anomalies, and early warning signals across every strategy before they become critical.

Illicit & Unusual Activity Monitoring

We track suspicious on-chain patterns and anomalous flows in real time. Risks are caught and reacted to before they materialise — not discovered after the fact.

Layer 2 — Triple Diversification

By Pools

Capital is spread across several pools at once. A liquidity drain in one pool doesn't affect the rest of the position.

By Assets

Balanced basket of stablecoins. A depeg event on one asset doesn't cascade into the entire allocation.

By Asset Type

Both centralised and decentralised stablecoins. A freeze at the issuer level only touches one class — not everything.

Core — Layer 1

Non-Custodial Architecture

The smart contract automates all the complexity — but never holds your funds. Assets go directly to the DEX. Your keys, your withdrawal, always. DSF has no technical ability to freeze or block your money.

UNDERSTANDING YIELD

Passive income with USDT and USDC: how it works

Stablecoins do not pay interest just by sitting in a wallet. In DeFi, yield comes from putting assets to work in protocols. DSF automates a liquidity strategy through Curve and Convex on Ethereum.

Where does USDT income come from?

The strategy collects swap fees from Curve pools and eligible Convex rewards. DSF converts collected rewards to USDT and reinvests them. Results depend on pool activity, rewards and strategy costs.

How does passive income with USDC work?

DSF documentation lists USDC, alongside USDT and DAI, as deposit assets. Yield comes from the liquidity strategy. The deposit asset and reward-processing currency can differ: check the assets available and withdrawal terms in the app before proceeding.

What makes this income passive?

The smart contract automates liquidity allocation, reward collection and reinvestment. Earning passive income with USDT does not require daily manual trading, but you still need to monitor your position, fees and risks.

Can you know your return in advance?

USDT and USDC yields in DeFi vary. Historical APY describes past results, not a promised future income. Smart-contract failures, stablecoin depegging and limited liquidity remain possible risks.
