Frequently asked questions
What is Stellar DeFi Hub?
Stellar DeFi Hub is a Stellar-focused interface for vault products, including 2026 XLM, USDC and PYUSD incentive deposits and a separate strategy-oriented Sentora USDC offering.
Which Stellar assets are supported by the 2026 deposit vaults?
The three listed campaign assets were XLM, native Stellar USDC and PYUSD. Each vault accepted its own asset.
Is XLM staking available through the Stellar DeFi Hub vault?
The 2026 XLM product was an incentive deposit programme, not native consensus staking. Its reward rules were tied to the campaign.
When did the XLM vault campaign end?
The published 2026 XLM campaign end was 9 November 2026 at 18:00 UTC.
When did the USDC and PYUSD vault campaigns end?
The published 2026 USDC and PYUSD campaign ends were 19 November 2026 at 18:00 UTC.
Can I withdraw before a campaign ends?
The 2026 deposit programme allowed principal withdrawal, but withdrawing early forfeited accrued rewards on the amount withdrawn.
How do Stellar DeFi Hub rewards work?
The 2026 incentive vaults accrued rewards based on programme rules, deposited amount and time. Rewards were ecosystem incentives rather than native XLM staking income.
What is the difference between the USDC deposit vault and Sentora USDC?
The time-limited USDC incentive campaign and the share-based Sentora USDC strategy vault through Upshift are different products, with different reward sources and withdrawal terms.
What is sentUSDC?
Upshift describes sentUSDC as shares issued by its Sentora USDC vault on Stellar in exchange for USDC deposits.
Are advertised yield rates guaranteed?
No. Displayed APY or target reward figures are subject to methodology, changing conditions and programme terms. A short-term campaign does not necessarily yield a full annualized percentage.
Which wallets are used on Stellar?
Stellar-compatible wallets such as Freighter and LOBSTR have appeared in Stellar DeFi Hub guidance. Check support directly in the current interface.
Are there risks?
Yes. Smart contract vulnerabilities, admin controls, asset volatility, stablecoin issuer issues and strategy risks may affect funds or rewards.
