# How to Stake USDu

### Overview

Staking **USDu** lets you earn protocol fees sourced from Unitas’s multi‑strategy Δ‑neutral vaults. In return, you receive **sUSDu:** a liquid receipt token that auto‑accrues yield and can be used across DeFi.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
