Falcon Finance launches staking vaults, allowing users to earn USDf while holding assets
Falcon Finance Staking Vaults let users earn USDf yield on long-term holdings without giving up ownership or upside.
Falcon Finance has announced the launch of its new Staking Vaults , which is designed for users who want their tokens to work harder without giving up ownership. The Staking Vaults mark the newest expansion of Falcon’s Earn product suite.
Until now, users earned through Classic Yield , by staking USDf or FF with no lockup, or through Boosted Yield , which offers higher returns for locking USDf or sUSDf over a fixed duration. The Staking Vaults introduce a third pathway: users can now deposit the assets they already hold and earn USDf directly, while continuing to benefit from the assets they hold.
At launch, the first supported token is FF, Falcon Finance’s governance and utility token. FF holders can now stake into the vault and earn up to 12% APR, paid in USDf. Yield is generated through Falcon Finance’s proprietary strategies, designed to balance opportunity and risk while maintaining consistent performance. Each vault comes with a 180-day minimum lockup and a 3-day cooldown before withdrawal, ensuring yield is generated efficiently and assets return in an orderly flow.
Rewards are issued in USDf, allowing users to accumulate a synthetic dollar built for resilience, onchain movement, and long-term utility.
As more users participate, the pooled liquidity does more than earn yield. It also strengthens the presence of these assets across the DeFi landscape, creating space for deeper integrations and future opportunities.
Participation in the vaults also reinforces the broader USDf ecosystem. As value grows, USDf becomes more widely used and increasingly robust, which further enhances the rewards users receive. This creates a reinforcing cycle: stronger vault participation supports USDf, and a stronger USDf increases the value of its yield over time.
The Staking Vaults is built with thoughtful safeguards in place: capped vault sizes, defined lock periods, and a cooldown window to ensure smooth withdrawals. Users earn yield in USDf, then exit with the same token they originally deposited.
