VendEarn

Real yield from real machines

The yield layer of the Vend ecosystem — a protocol that transforms everyday machine revenue into sustainable, on-chain yield.

Through VendEarn, users can stake USDv to directly finance the expansion of real-world autonomous businesses — from laundromats and vending kiosks to other income-generating machine networks — and in return, earn yield that is transparently backed by actual business performance.

• Users can stake USDv to fund individual store expansions or participate in the Vend.Index, a diversified portfolio of autonomous commerce assets.

• sUSDv is the yield-bearing synthetic dollar backed by machines used in everyday business.

• These assets are inherently less liquid than stablecoins, so holders accrue yield for the added risk and are also subject to redemption periods.

How it Works

The Vend Earn Protocol is built around three key participants:

• Depositors — converting cash top-ups into stablecoins such as USDT or USDC and minting USDv.

• Operators — traditional business owners who leverage automation to scale their operations.

• Curators — provide first-loss protection and earn risk-adjusted premiums, while helping tokenize and separate capital from operators.

• Staking for Growth:

  Users stake USDv into selected opportunities such as individual store expansions, new machine installations, or the Vend.Index — a diversified portfolio representing the entire network of autonomous commerce assets.

• Earning Yield:

  In return, users receive sUSDv, a yield-bearing synthetic dollar that represents their staked position. Yield is funded by the real-world cashflows of the underlying machines — washing cycles, vending transactions, ATM withdrawals — that produce predictable, recurring revenue.

• Liquidity & Risk:

  Because these assets are tied to physical machines rather than liquid tokens, sUSDv positions are less liquid than standard stablecoins. Holders are rewarded for this with higher returns, reflecting the added duration and operational exposure of the underlying assets.

  Redemptions are available after predefined lock-up periods, allowing the protocol to maintain liquidity stability and align capital cycles with real business operations.
