Maximizing FF Utility: How to Earn USDf via Staking Vaults in Falcon Finance

Falcon Finance has recently launched a new earning product called Staking Vaults. This article provides guidance on how Staking Vaults work, and how to use the FF Vault.
What Are Staking Vaults in Falcon Finance?
Staking vaults introduce a new way of yield generation in Falcon, alongside the existing Classic and Boosted Yield options that require staking protocol’s synthetic dollar, USDf.
Designed specifically for users with a long-term investment horizon, a Staking Vault allows holders to stake their core digital assets, remaining fully exposed to the asset’s upside while actively earning yield in USDf.
At launch, the first supported token is FF, Falcon Finance’s governance and utility token. In the FF Vault, a user stakes the base asset (FF tokens) and is rewarded yield in USDf. To ensure capital is allocated efficiently and yield is generated effectively, staking FF in the vault requires a 180-day lockup period and a 3-day cooldown before withdrawal.
The FF Vault is the first product in Falcon’s Staking Vaults lineup, with plans for additional vaults to be integrated in the future.
What Are the Benefits of Staking Vaults?
For individual users, Staking Vaults is a way to accumulate yield in a liquid token, USDf, without the need to sell their original altcoins. During the 180 lock-up period, yields are distributed every week. When the lock-up period ends, users can unstake and withdraw their principal (initially deposited FF tokens).
In exchange for staking FF, users receive yield with an expected APR of 12%, distributed daily in USDf.
How to Stake FF in the Staking Vault?
Staking in the FF Vault is the easiest compared to many other blockchain protocols.
To begin, connect a crypto wallet containing FF tokens to the Falcon Finance platform.
Next, navigate to the Staking Vaults main page. There, select the FF Vault.
On the vault's page, enter the desired amount of FF tokens for staking, click the “Stake” button, and confirm the transaction via your connected wallet interface:
Note that you will need to pay the network fee. Once the transaction is successfully confirmed by the blockchain, the vault interface will be updated, providing comprehensive metrics on your participation. These include:
- The current size of your staked position.
- The total accumulated yield earned, denominated in USDf.
- The remaining duration of the lock-up period.
- A complete history of your transactions with the vault.
- The current sum of claimable USDf rewards.
Having all this data, you will never lose track of your position in the vault and its earnings.
Staking rewards are not automatically sent to your wallet. Instead, you need to claim them on the vault page.
Closing Thoughts
The launch of Staking Vaults establishes a significant new earning opportunity for FF holders, allowing them to monetize their governance tokens without giving up ownership. With a competitive APR paid in the liquid synthetic dollar, USDf, the Staking Vaults offer a high-yield strategy that balances long-term asset exposure with immediate utility.
Combined with a streamlined interface that simplifies the staking process, vaults ultimately ensure that generating steady value remains accessible and efficient.
