USD1 Earns 8.07% APY on Dolomite Lending

The platform breaks down returns as 0.25% lending APY, 0.68% oDOLO APY, and a hefty 7.14% from WLFI rewards.

Eligible users also earn USD1 points, claimable via Merkl.

Yield Breakdown on Dolomite

Dolomite, a DeFi lending platform, lets users deposit USD1, a dollar-pegged stablecoin fully backed by U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents, to earn interest while enabling others to borrow. The headline 8.07% APY comes from multiple streams: a modest 0.25% base lending rate reflects supply and demand dynamics, much like traditional savings accounts but settled on-chain instantly. The 0.68% oDOLO yield rewards holding Dolomite’s governance token, and the standout 7.14% WLFI rewards incentivize early liquidity providers with World Liberty Financial tokens, claimable through Merkl’s distribution system.​

Picture a small business owner in Peru parking $10,000 in USD1 on Dolomite: at 8.07% APY, that generates about $807 yearly, far outpacing bank rates, all while keeping funds liquid for quick withdrawals.

This launch rides Solana’s DeFi surge, where platforms like Dolomite tap low fees to offer competitive rates amid $15 billion in chain-wide stablecoin inflows last month. A key trend is yield-bearing stablecoins exploding, with USD1’s $3.4 billion supply reflecting demand for “productive” dollars that earn passively, unlike idle USDT holdings. ​
