Do I need to stake or lock DERA to earn yield?

No. There is no staking, no locking and no active management. Yield compounds directly into the DERA exchange rate, so simply holding DERA accrues it.

How is the DERA exchange rate calculated?

The exchange rate is total value locked divided by total supply. It is read directly from the Dera Engine on Ethereum mainnet.

Can I withdraw at any time?

Yes. Exits are permissionless and enforced at the contract level. DERA can be redeemed at the prevailing exchange rate regardless of liquidity pool conditions.

Has the Dera Protocol been audited?

Yes. The Dera Protocol is deployed on Ethereum mainnet and audited by Hacken.

DERA is a yield-bearing, liquid, permissionless token backed by USDC.

Capital is allocated across governance-approved DeFi integrations and returns compound directly into the exchange rate.

No staking. No locking. No active management.

Provide liquidity without losing the exchange rate.

DERA LPs earn AMM fees plus protocol yield on their DERA holdings.

One asset. Four places to put it to work.

DERA stays liquid and redeemable wherever it is held, so yield does not have to be traded away for utility.

AMM liquidity provision

Deploy DERA in liquidity pools instead of static stablecoins, earning AMM trading fees alongside protocol-level appreciation.

DeFi collateral

Use DERA as collateral in lending protocols, combining yield accrual with capital efficiency.

Treasury reserves

Maintain full liquidity while generating on-chain yield, replacing idle stablecoin reserves with a productive equivalent.

Institutional settlement

ERC-20 compatibility and permissionless redemption enable integration with existing payment and settlement infrastructure.

Native cross-chain transfers, without bridges.

DERA implements ERC-20 and the OFTv2 standard via LayerZero, moving across major EVM networks without wrapped tokens or value loss.

The Dera Protocol is a permissionless yield layer for digital assets.

The Dera Engine is a modular execution layer that allocates capital across governance-approved integrations and compounds returns on-chain. Built to operate across any tokenised asset class.

DERA is its first implementation.
