FALCON STABLECOINS
USDf: The Base Synthetic Dollar
USDf is a fully collateral-backed synthetic dollar minted when Users deposit a variety of digital assets as determined by Falcon Finance in its sole discretion from time to time (the “Eligible Collateral”), such as stablecoins or blue-chip tokens, into the Falcon Finance Protocol. USDf serves as the base token in the system and can be staked to mint sUSDf. It acts as a fully collateral-backed synthetic dollar token that can be used as a store of value, a medium of exchange, and a unit of account.
sUSDf: The Yield-Bearing Asset sUSDf is a yield-bearing asset that is minted when USDf is staked on the Falcon Finance Protocol. sUSDf grows in value over time through yield generated by Falcon Finance Protocol. The sUSDf:USDf ratio increases as earned yields are deposited into the Falcon Finance Protocol, reflecting accrued yield.
Services
To the extent you have an Account in good standing, you may, on the Platform:
mint USDf by depositing the Eligible Collateral;
receive sUSDf by staking USDf;
redeem USDf for the the originally deposited Eligible Collateral or other stablecoins;
redeem sUSDf for USDf; and/or
generate yield by staking USDf and/or sUSDf,
(collectively the “Services”).

Once USDf has been minted, Users may stake their USDf in the Falcon Finance Protocol to receive sUSDf. The amount of sUSDf received is calculated based on the prevailing sUSDf-to-USDf ratio, which reflects the total supply of sUSDf relative to the total USDf staked and accumulated protocol yield.

Upon receipt of your USDf or sUSDf and the completion of any processing, screening or verification checks, the corresponding amount of the originally deposited Eligible Collateral, stablecoins or USDf (as applicable) will be transferred to your wallet address, subject to any applicable cooling period.
The amount in the Eligible Collateral or USDf sent to your wallet address at redemption may be rounded down to the nearest unit at our discretion.
A minimum amount for redemption of Falcon Stablecoins may be imposed by us, which may be changed from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion. We reserve the right not to process any redemption where such amount does not meet the minimum required amount.
While we are committed to providing efficient transaction processing for our Users, processing times may vary depending on various factors, including the blockchain network's congestion, transaction complexity, and required confirmation or settlement.
