Buy USDe with TON and stake it: dollars that earn, step by step

USDe is Ethena's synthetic dollar, available on TON. Staked with Ethena it earns a yearly rate, shown live on the staking page. If you hold only TON, you can get USDe and stake it right here — two confirmations in your wallet.

Step 1: buy USDe

On the staking page pick USDe and open Buy, or use the swap page. Type how much GRAM to swap: the page shows the USDe you get and the least you can get. The swap goes GRAM → USDT → USDe through STON.fi's pools in one transaction, and the USDe lands in your wallet within a minute.

Step 2: stake it

When the USDe arrives, the staking card moves to Stake with the amount filled in. Confirm in your wallet: you receive tsUSDe, which grows in value against USDe as Ethena earns. There is nothing to claim.

Why two confirmations

Ethena gives tsUSDe to whoever sends it the USDe. If the swap delivered straight to Ethena, the exchange would receive the tsUSDe instead of you. So the swap and the stake are two transactions, both from your own wallet.

Getting your dollars back

Open Withdraw, choose how much and unstake. The USDe is claimed on the same page once Ethena's cooldown is over — there is none on TON today, and it can be up to 7 days by design.
Want GRAM or USDT instead? Swap the USDe on the swap page.

Good to know

About 0.6 GRAM goes along with the swap and 0.2 GRAM with each Ethena transaction for network fees; most of it comes back. Keep about 1 GRAM extra in the wallet.
USDe's value rests on Ethena; it is not a bank deposit.
Fuji Gift never holds your coins: every transaction goes from your wallet straight to the protocols.
