$sthUSD Is Live: Yield Becomes Native at Tharwa Today we open the next chapter of Tharwa. $sthUSD, our yield-bearing stablecoin layer, is now live and ready for the public. For years, stablecoins have been a $250B+ market, but nearly all of that capital has sat idle. Holders earned nothing while issuers pocketed the yield. sthUSD changes that. It makes yield a native property of money itself, flowing directly into your wallet from a portfolio of real-world assets. What is $sthUSD? sthUSD is the staked version of thUSD. It is built on an ERC-4626-inspired design, reconfigured specifically for Tharwa with a new instant-withdraw class and optimizations that make it more efficient. At launch, entry and exit fees are set at zero to encourage adoption. The mechanics are simple: • Mint $thUSD • Stake it into the $sthUSD contract • Receive $sthUSD and watch your balance grow automatically No farming gimmicks, no manual claims, no hidden risks. Withdrawals are instant. Where the Yield Comes From The yield behind sthUSD is real and transparent. It comes from the same diversified portfolio that backs thUSD: sukuk, UAE real estate, gold, and capped exposure to commodities. As these assets generate income, returns are routed through the protocol treasury and distributed proportionally to sthUSD holders. Rewards are time-weighted, vested automatically, and visible on-chain. This is not emission-driven yield. It is powered by cash flows from real-world assets, optimized through Tharwa’s portfolio design and risk framework. Why sthUSD Matters sthUSD completes the foundation of Tharwa’s ecosystem. thUSD provides stability. sthUSD turns it into a currency that compounds by default. Together, they make Tharwa function like an on-chain hedge fund: stable by design, yield-bearing by nature. That opens the door to much bigger things. sthUSD can become the backbone collateral for DeFi integrations, a reserve asset for DAOs, or a passive income instrument for institutions. It is designed to be simple for retail, yet robust enough for treasuries and fund allocators. The speculation is not whether sthUSD will matter, it is how far it spreads once DeFi realizes what it unlocks. What’s Next Launching sthUSD is not the end, it is the start of a much larger system. Coming up: • Expansion of static yield bonds through ERC-1155 vaults • Integration of sthUSD into DeFi liquidity pools and lending protocols • OTC marketplace for secondary liquidity • Production-grade AI assistant for rebalancing • Development of segregated sukuk vaults for faith-aligned yields sthUSD is the product that transforms thUSD from a stable placeholder into an income-generating unit of account. If stablecoins were the backbone of DeFi until now, sthUSD is what makes that backbone yield-bearing and alive. Stake Now:
