The Balance team is pleased to announce the launch of the USDB Investment Vault with Takepile for the general public. As you know, we shared the novelty concept of Liquidity Vaults a few days ago and outlined the critical benefits for DeFi protocols and investors seeking stable earnings. If you are still unsure what the Vaults are, please have a quick read.
In short, Vaults are platforms through which DeFi protocols can access capital and for investors to earn handsome rewards.
In this article, we would like to provide a detailed guide to using USDB Takepile Vault as an investor and earning up to 30% APR in USDB stablecoin.
Let’s begin.
Navigate to USDBalance website and click on Vault in the main navigation.
Separately, you can also access Vaults from the link: https://www.usdbalance.com/vault

Before the freeze time, investors can deposit as much of their USDB as they prefer. After the freeze time, the Vault is locked for any further investments.

At the end of the lock duration, Vault will pay back the initial investment as well as 30% APR rewards in USDB stablecoins.
Note that once the fundraising period has passed, the total financing provided by investors will be provided to the vault creator’s wallet, and the receipt tokens will be issued to the investors representing their share of the Vault. The receipt tokens will be a tradeable and transferable NFT. Also, the vault creator will not be able to access the funds until this point in time.

Balance is poised to build bridges between the theoretical and practical sides of finance so that there is a means by which we can provide real-world solutions and create value-driven products within the web3 space.
