Important to Note
Yield Generation: HedgePlus holders automatically earn yield simply by holding their HedgePlus. No additional actions are required.
Yield Accumulation: Instead of direct payments, yield accumulates within the staking contract, gradually increasing the value of HedgePlus over time. Users can unstake their HedgePlus at any point, receiving an amount of USDC that reflects their initial stake plus any value increase since staking.
Dynamic Staking Ratio: The amount of HedgePlus received when staking USDC is not fixed; it depends on the current value of HedgePlus. At launch, the ratio will be 1:1 (1 HedgePlus = 1 USDC). However, as protocol yield is transferred to the Staking smart contract, the value of ascentBTC.s is expected to appreciate gradually.
