About the Balanced Savings Rate​

The Balanced Savings Rate was introduced in February 2024 to increase demand for bnUSD and attract more stablecoin deposits into the Stability Fund. More liquidity in the Stability Fund makes it easier for arbitrageurs to keep bnUSD at $1.

Rewards originate from a 2% interest rate on bnUSD loans, 10% of the daily BALN emissions, and sICX provided by the ICON blockchain as part of Balanced and ICON’s economic enshrinement.

The reward rate varies based on projected future yield. It considers interest from loans and the balance of a Trickler contract (which contains all other incentives and distributes them evenly over a 6-month period), divided by the total bnUSD deposited. The 6-month period can be adjusted via governance.
