Allo Game: Flatiron Ends, Metropolitan Begins

TL;DR

Season 3 of the Allo Game, Metropolitan, starts with a 7% minimum yield on sUSDai. If sUSDai yield drops below 7% at any point, the protocol’s Yield Reserve tops it up. This floor is the CHIP Hurdle Rate.

Season 2, Flatiron, ends October 14, Metropolitan starts right after, and Season 2 CHIP claims open October 20.

Here is how Season 2 went and what changes next.

  • Season 2 ends October 14 at 11:59 p.m. UTC (7:59 p.m. ET). Season 3 starts immediately after.
  • No action needed on positions. Keep qualifying positions where they are and they start earning Season 3 points.
  • 225M CHIP (2.25% of supply) goes to Season 2. Check estimates from October 15, report any issues by October 19, and claim from October 20 to January 31, 2027.
  • Introducing the CHIP Hurdle Rate: starting at a 7% minimum sUSDai yield from Season 3. If yield falls short, the difference is paid from the Yield Reserve. Both the CHIP Hurdle Rate and the Yield Reserve balance will be shown on the app.usd.ai dashboard. This rate may change in the future.
  • Season 3 runs to April 14, 2027, with new multipliers and no referrals.
  • ICO aligned participants in the eight-month Level Up can claim their unlocked CHIP and USDC refund from October 15 on the Vault tab of the CHIP page.

Season 2 (Flatiron) by the Numbers

Season 2 ran from February 19 to October 14, almost eight months. Over that time, GPU loans on the books grew from $6.7 million to $311 million, after peaking at $401 million in late September. That growth was funded by everyone who held, looped and provided liquidity for USDai and sUSDai. Figures below are as of October 14 unless noted.

Protocol growth

  • sUSDai TVL grew 64%, from $336 million to $549 million.
  • Total TVL (USDai and sUSDai) rose from $522 million to $660 million. It more than doubled from its $280 million low in early April.
  • sUSDai earns 6.9% net APY today. Season 3 sets a 7% minimum through the CHIP Hurdle Rate (see below).

Where sUSDai yield comes from

sUSDai earns from three sources: interest on performing loans, interest on loans in escrow, and yield on stablecoin reserves.

SourceGross yield
Performing loans3.63%
Loans in escrow1.59%
Stablecoin reserves2.85%
Total gross8.07%
Net to holders, after protocol fees6.89%

sUSDai holders have earned $15.2 million after fees: $8.5 million from GPU loans and $6.7 million from PYUSD reserve yield.

  • Loans took over. Loans earned almost nothing in February and about two thirds of September's $2.63 million ($1.76 million).
  • Monthly earnings doubled, from about $1.3 million in March to $2.6 million in September.
  • Realized yield after fees rose, from about 5.2% in April to 6.0% in August and 6.6% in September.
  • October 2: first loan sale through GLX. The $98.1 million Duos Edge AI facility was sold to an institutional buyer, and loans on the books moved from $401 million to $311 million. More on GLX in the announcement.

Season 3: Metropolitan

Season 3 introduces the CHIP Hurdle Rate: a 7% minimum yield for sUSDai. Whenever sUSDai yield falls below 7%, the Yield Reserve tops it up to 7%.

sUSDai yield comes from interest on GPU loans and from the stablecoin reserves held between loans. With GLX, seasoned loans are sold to institutions and the capital is recycled into new loans. Between a sale and the next loan, that capital sits in stablecoin reserves, which earn less than loans. The CHIP Hurdle Rate keeps holder yield steady through those cycles.

Season 3 starts at 00:00 UTC on October 15, immediately after the Season 2 snapshot, and runs six months to April 14, 2027. Season 3 points start from zero and share a separate CHIP pool.

Goals

  • Ultra sound yield. sUSDai that is highly liquid, with reliable mechanics and a competitive yield, and reducing dependence on CHIP emissions to harden CHIP economics.
  • GLX. Growing loan volume and turnover through the GPU Loan Exchange, where seasoned loans are sold to institutions and the capital is recycled into new loans.

What earns points

USDai and sUSDai earn points in any qualifying position: in your wallet, as collateral on lending markets, in Pendle and Exponent, and in liquidity pools. CHIP liquidity pools also earn points. There is no minimum balance and no cap. See the full list on the Opportunities page.

FAQ

What is the CHIP Hurdle Rate?

Starting in Season 3, the CHIP Hurdle Rate sets a 7% minimum yield for sUSDai. If the yield from loans and stablecoin reserves falls below 7%, the difference is paid from the Yield Reserve, so holders still earn at least 7%. sUSDai earns 6.89% net today. The Yield Reserve is funded by the treasury at first, and over time by GLX gain-on-sale revenue.
