VELVET Staking Vault Goes Live, Earn an Expected APR Range of 20–35% in USDf

Falcon Finance is rolling out a new Staking Vault on BNB Chain, now live for VELVET holders. Long-term believers in Velvet Capital can stake their tokens, maintain full upside exposure, and earn yield paid in USDf, Falcon’s synthetic dollar.

This vault is designed for users who want their VELVET to stay productive during the holding period while preserving long-term alignment with the Velvet ecosystem.

What Is Velvet

Velvet Capital (VELVET) is a DeFAI operating system that serves as an AI powered, intent driven DeFi and portfolio management platform. Through Velvet you can trade, build vaults, manage strategies and deploy cross chain investing through a smooth, unified interface.

Velvet aims to make DeFi seamless and accessible for users ranging from retail traders to funds by combining intuitive dashboards, smart execution routing and modular vault infrastructure under one roof.

The native token VELVET is the backbone of the network’s incentive and governance system. You can read their full token model here. 

How the VELVET Staking Vault Works

Staking takes just a few clicks:

1. Go to the VELVET vault page, connect the wallet that holds your VELVET tokens, choose how much you want to stake, and confirm the transaction.
2. Your VELVET will be locked for 180 days, generating yield in USDf.
3. Yield accrues continuously and can be claimed anytime on the vault page.

The vault accepts deposits until it reaches a maximum capacity of 50 million VELVET.

Key parameters:

• Stake token: VELVET
• Yield token: USDf
• APR: estimated 20–35%
• Lockup: 180 days
• Cooldown: 3 days
• Yield distribution: every 7 days
• Network: BNB Chain

Yield Example (How Rewards Work)

Here’s a simple illustration using a 12-month APR range of 20–35%:

• Deposit: 10,000 VELVET
• VELVET price at staking: $0.30
• Value locked: $3,000
• APR: assume 25% mid-range

Rewards are calculated based on the current dollar value of your staked VELVET rather than the token amount. This avoids the volatility issues of traditional token-denominated staking where rewards fluctuate heavily with market conditions.

$3,000 × 25% APR = $750 in USDf over 12 months

Over the 180-day lockup, this comes out to roughly half, depending on changes in VELVET price and APR over time.

At the end of the lockup, you receive your full VELVET principal back, plus all the USDf yield you accumulated during the staking period.

Actual rewards vary based on the real-time market value of VELVET and any updates to the vault’s APR.

Why This Vault Matters for the Velvet Ecosystem

VELVET is central to Velvet Capital’s governance system and long-term alignment model. It represents ownership and influence over the protocol, including strategy approvals and treasury decisions.

By introducing USDf-based yield, Falcon adds a new utility layer for VELVET:

• Holders can earn stable yield without selling VELVET
• Governance contributors get an additional incentive to stay long-term engaged
• The vault supports healthy token circulation by creating a productive alternative to passive holding

This is especially relevant as Velvet continues to expand its strategy marketplace and cross-chain capabilities.

A Better Way to Hold VELVET

If you believe in the Velvet ecosystem and want your tokens to work harder while staying exposed to future upside, the VELVET Staking Vault offers a straightforward path to stable yield.

Stake, sit back, and watch your USDf rewards accumulate.
