Sage Protocol

What is Sage?

Sage Finance democratizes institutional fixed income by bringing Treasury yields on-chain through stUSDC on Base. Users can earn automated returns from US Treasury securities while maintaining the composability and flexibility they expect from DeFi.

Through Sage, your USDC automatically earns and compounds returns from US Treasury securities. In partnership with Circle and OpenTrade, Sage combines the reliability of Treasury-backed yields with the openness of DeFi.

How is Sage different?

After evaluating various protocols, we've integrated key solutions to enhance our Treasury Bill protocol's efficiency and transparency. We will continue to build on these steps to ensure it remains the most effective option available on-chain.

• Balancing regulatory compliance with decentralization, offering both compliant and decentralized products.

• Better liquidity and redemption mechanisms, with improved secondary markets.

• Incentive structures like governance tokens or yield boosters to drive adoption.

• Cross-chain compatibility to broaden access and integration into more DeFi ecosystems.

• Improved user experience, including simplified interfaces and educational tools.

Sage distinguishes itself from other T-Bill protocols by offering a user-friendly interface where you can deposit USDC into a Vault and receive a liquid, staked version called stUSDC. This stUSDC functions like traditional USDC for swaps and liquidity provision on the open market, all while generating yield from US Treasury Bills.

We believe investing in US Treasury Bills should be safe, simple and transparent—no complicated jargon or pain points. Just deposit and earn a safe, secure yield backed by T-Bills.
