Issuing your own stablecoin with Bridge offers a significant advantage: capturing the rewards from treasury reserves. Unlike when you use a third party stablecoin, with Bridge, the rewards are yours, minus issuance fees. You have full control over how you decide to use them: keep them as developer revenue, use them to incentivize end users, or split them based on your business model. Once Bridge has minted your stablecoin and configured reserve allocation, you immediately begin earning rewards based on the treasury allocation that you define. Note that cash reserves generally don’t generate rewards.

​
Reward visibility and APIs

Rewards accrue continuously as your assets are held in treasuries.  Bridge provides APIs for you to gain transparency into reward summaries and reward rates. These endpoints show accrued rewards since your last payout, enabling you to:
  • Display real-time earnings 
  • Show users their share of rewards (if passing through)
  • Track reward generation for forecasting and planning
For more details, view the Rewards API docs.

​
How Rewards Are Paid Out

Bridge pays out rewards at the end of each month. Rewards are minted as new tokens and sent to a wallet address you specify, or converted to fiat and deposited to your bank account (your choice). Coming soon: Bridge will launch a self-service reward claim feature allowing you to:
  • Claim and withdraw rewards on-demand whenever you choose
  • Distribute to users on your own schedule

​
Rewards: Use or Keep

Bridge gives developers flexibility in what they choose to do with rewards.

​
Option 1: Developer keeps rewards

This is the simplest approach; all rewards flow to you as revenue. This works well for:
  • Internal treasury management use cases
  • B2B platforms where end users don’t expect rewards
  • Maximizing your profitability

​
Option 2: Use rewards to incentivize users

You can use your rewards to incentivize end user behavior. For example, offer users a place to hold  their stablecoin balances and automatically earn rewards.  This works well for:
  • Consumer neobanks (“Earn 3% on your balance”)
  • Crypto wallets looking to attract liquidity to their platform
  • DeFi protocols rewarding liquidity providers
Coming Soon: Bridge will provide automated reward splitting, allowing you to define your split rules (e.g., “80% to users, 20% to platform”). The appropriate amount will be distributed to each user’s wallet based on their average balance over the reward period.
