{"id":"apyusd","title":"apyUSD","content":"**apyUSD** is a [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) savings token operating under the [Apyx](https://iq.wiki/wiki/apyx) Protocol. It is built using the [ERC-4626](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-4626) vault standard and allows users to earn yield by depositing the associated stablecoin [apxUSD](https://iq.wiki/wiki/apxusd) into a permissionless vault. Users receive apyUSD in return, and yield accrues gradually through an increasing exchange rate, meaning each apyUSD can be redeemed for more apxUSD over time.

This structure separates liquidity and utility from yield generation, which enables a distinct path for earning returns derived from dividends. The yield for apyUSD is sourced from dividends generated by the protocol’s off-chain collateral, including preferred equity from Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) as well as short-term Treasuries.

The protocol quickly gained traction, reaching a significant [total value locked](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tvl) (TVL) soon after its inception, with TVL amounts exceeding $40 million within nine days post-launch.

It facilitates savings by providing a permissionless and dividend-backed model for yield generation.

During the cooldown, the assets remain locked, and users won't receive yield on the locked apyUSD.
