The above is a tutorial on staking vTHOR but the process remains the same for uTHOR
$uTHOR Staking Benefits:
$uTHOR token: Stake $THOR tokens to receive $uTHOR tokens, a composable and tradeable representation of your staked $THOR position.
Trading Discounts: THORSwap users holding $uTHOR will be entitled to trading fee discounts.
Staking Rewards: 55% of revenues will accrue back to $vTHOR, $uTHOR, $yTHOR and THOR LP based on the ratio of $THOR in each pool.
$uTHOR rewards are earned in $USDC and can be claimed at anytime.
$uTHOR can be withdrawn at anytime to receive the original staked $THOR
Fee-sharing Staking Rewards
$vTHOR staking is rewarded in $THOR and auto-compounding. $uTHOR on the other hand, rewards stakers in $USDC stablecoin which can be claimed at anytime. Both pools are rewarded from 55% of THORSwap fees (alongside $yTHOR, which operates in the same manner as $uTHOR except it is locked and $THOR cannot be withdrawn once staked).
How rewards work:
Exact % may vary, staker % based on estimate snapshot taken on 29th November, 2025.
25% of THORSwap revenue will go to THORSwap Treasury for development and maintenance.
55% of THORSwap revenue will accrue back to $vTHOR, $uTHOR, $yTHOR and THOR LP based on the ratio of $THOR in each pool
20% of THORSwap revenue will go towards buyback + burn programme.
This new staking rewards model offers the community more choice and freedom in deciding how they wish to receive their staking rewards.
