Things to know about FIDU

What is FIDU used for?

Users or liquidity providers (LPs) who deposit USDC to the Senior Pool receive an equivalent amount of FIDU in return. FIDU is an ERC-20 token that accrues interest over time (rising exchange rate) as borrowers make interest payments to the Senior Pool. Besides representing a receipt of the LPs deposit into the Senior Pool, it can also be used to earn an additional yield.

How to earn yield with FIDU?

Senior Pool LPs can earn GFI tokens by staking their FIDU on Goldfinch. Further, the staked FIDU can also be deposited in the Curve FIDU-USDC pool to earn additional rewards without needing to unstake from Goldfinch.

How to redeem back for USDC?

LPs can withdraw their position from the Senior Pool at any time by redeeming their FIDU for USDC. The exchange rate is based on the net asset value of the Senior Pool (accrues interest payments over time) minus a 0.5% withdrawal fee. However, more likely than not the Senior Pool may not have sufficient liquidity when LPs try to withdraw as it has already been borrowed (deployed to junior pools). The only way for LPs to redeem their USDC at this point is to wait until new capital enters the Senior Pool either through borrower repayments or new LPs. Alternatively, LPs can go to the Curve FIDU-USDC pool to exchange their FIDU at the prevailing market rate.
