How does USDhm maintain its peg?
How does USDhm maintain its peg?
USDhm is minted and redeemed 1:1 with USDC. There is no algorithmic mechanism or fractional reserve—every USDhm in circulation is backed by USDC held in protocol contracts. The only trust assumptions are USDC’s own peg stability and the security of the underlying blockchain.
Can I lose money staking sUSDhm?
Can I lose money staking sUSDhm?
Yes. Huam runs an active trading strategy with inherent risks. While positions are hedged, costs can exceed revenue in certain conditions: hedging costs during high volatility, estimation errors in pool selection, or transaction costs during rebalancing.Short-term losses are absorbed by the Reward Manager buffer. However, if losses exceed the buffer, they are passed to the Staking Vault, reducing the sUSDhm exchange rate. Stakers should understand this is a managed yield strategy, not a risk-free return.

How is this different from other yield-bearing stablecoins?
How is this different from other yield-bearing stablecoins?
Most yield-bearing stablecoins derive returns from basis arbitrage (funding rates) or off-chain assets (T-bills, money markets). Huam sources yield from DEX LP fees—a higher but more variable yield source. The tradeoff is increased complexity in position management and hedging, which the protocol handles automatically.
How can I verify protocol holdings and performance?
How can I verify protocol holdings and performance?
All LP positions, hedge positions, and P&L are verifiable onchain. The Collector and Adaptor contracts hold protocol assets directly—users can inspect positions, collateral levels, and historical performance at any time. Exchange margin balances used for hedging are held through OES (Off-Exchange Settlement) providers, keeping assets in custody while delegating trading access to exchanges.
