What does that mean in practice?
If you deposit 1,000 USDC, you may receive slightly less than 1,000 soUSD.
This is normal and expected.
Why?
Because each unit of soUSD already represents $1 plus accumulated yield.
Simple example
1 soUSD = $1.04
You deposit 1,000 USDC
You receive ~961 soUSD
You didn’t lose value — you received fewer units because each unit is worth more.
Where is the yield?
With soUSD, yield is not paid as separate rewards.
Instead:
The yield is built directly into soUSD
Over time, each soUSD becomes worth more USDC
Your balance grows through the exchange rate, not by minting extra tokens
So:
Your soUSD amount may stay similar
But its value in USDC increases over time
Why does Solid work this way?
This design makes earning yield simple:
No staking
No lockups
No claiming rewards
No manual management
You just hold soUSD, and the yield is included automatically.
Can I convert back to USDC or USDT?
Yes. At any time, you can:
Convert soUSD back to USDC or USDT
Withdraw to an external wallet
Use your balance for spending or transfers
Your funds remain liquid and accessible.
In short
USDC / USDT are static stablecoins
soUSD includes yield in its value
That’s why you may receive fewer soUSD than the amount deposited
Your growth is reflected in value, not in token count
