About

A wallet should hold your money and nothing else. Everything on this site follows from that one idea — including a staking product that never asks you to give up control in exchange for a yield.

The principle

Most financial products work by taking custody: you hand over control and receive a balance in return. It is a reasonable arrangement, and for most people a convenient one. But it introduces a party whose failure, mistake or malice becomes your loss.

A self-custodial wallet removes that party. Your keys are generated on your device, your balance is a public state on a blockchain, and your funds can be moved only by your signature. It is less convenient in one respect and categorically safer in another.

Why fixed-term staking

Most crypto earning products are variable, open-ended and wrapped in a layer of protocol risk: you deposit into a smart contract, the rate changes daily, and the code that holds your money is someone else’s. The yield is not guaranteed and the terms are hard to reason about.

Fixed-term USDT staking is a deliberately different shape:

  • One asset, one clear rate. No tiers, no bonus multipliers, no votes, no lock mechanics to learn.
  • A known end date. You know when principal and reward arrive, which makes it possible to plan around.
  • No withdrawal lock. You can close a position at any time; you only forgo the reward for the unused days.
  • No new custodian. Staking lives inside the wallet you already have. It does not introduce anyone into the middle of your funds.
  • Proportional maths. amount × APR × days ÷ 365 — the same formula the calculator uses, shown before you commit and settled on-chain afterwards.

What we consider non-negotiable

Never request the recovery phrase

There is no legitimate reason for anyone to need it, so the answer is always no. The full explanation.

No custodial middleman

A product that earns you a yield is exactly where a custodial shortcut would be tempting. We do not take it.

Show the numbers before the ask

Rate, reward and the cost of an early exit are all visible before you sign, not discovered afterwards.

Keep everything verifiable

Every position can be checked against a public blockchain. If it cannot be verified, it is not worth having.

What we get wrong sometimes

Self-custody has real costs, and pretending otherwise is not a good look. Losing a recovery phrase means losing access permanently, with no customer service able to help. A compromised device can sign a transaction without you. A depeg can wipe out the value of a reward that was technically paid in full.

None of that is hidden here because the product is genuinely good; it is stated because a tool you do not understand is a tool you should not use. The details are on what self-custody does not protect you from.

Start where you are comfortable

If you have never staked before, the 10-day term is deliberately small and deliberately reversible. Read how it works, run some numbers, and only commit what you are content to leave for the duration.
