Review Brale’s reserve disclosures and the scope and date of any independent attestation. An attestation reports on reserves at a particular point in time; it is different from a full financial audit. Contact Brale for the current reports that cover USDB.
Flashnet funds rewards from protocol fees and other revenue. Rewards are paid daily in BTC, and your trading volume determines your tier. The rewards page lists the rates and explains the calculation.
The rewards program does not require staking, a minimum holding period, or locking your USDB. You can continue to trade and transfer it while earning rewards. Your time-weighted average balance determines how much of your balance counts toward each day’s payout.
Convert USDB to BTC or USDC through Flashnet Trade. Choose the asset and network you want to receive, then review the quote before confirming. See Redeem USDB.
