Since the inception, our goal always was to allow $DUCK holders to capture value from Unit Protocol operations.
Previously it was done via a burning mechanism, and over the course of 6 months, we have burnt 391,408,535 $DUCK tokens, with an estimated value at the time of writing of almost $38 million.
But today, we’re excited to announce $DUCK staking.

So, what is qDUCK, and how does it work?
Unit Protocol collects two types of fees - Stability Fee & Liquidation Fee. These fees are collected inside the protocol treasury.
You can see statistics of fees collected on the community-run quackprofits.xyz website. So far Unit Protocol generated a total of 4,947,985 USDP in profits.

qDUCK smart contract uses the protocol treasury to buy $DUCK tokens from the open market every set interval of time and adds them to the qDUCK pool, distributing profits to $DUCK stakers.
How to get qDUCK?
First, go to unit.xyz/staking
You need to accept terms and connect your wallet.
Approve & Stake your $DUCK.

So, since rolling out our protocol, we’ve seen a grand total of 1,070,287,127 USDP minted. That’s right—three commas! If you haven’t experienced Unit Protocol yet, come give us a try. You’d be quackers not to!

We've just launched our CDP explorer! Now you can search all the CDPs on Unit Protocol by collateral or owner. Super useful for those who want to gain some insights into the risk appetite for different collaterals. Check it out at https://explorer.unit.xyz.

Hi Unit, 🦆

We’re planning to redeem once a day for 1/30 of the current treasury volume – that’s approximately 30 thousand per day.

Hi everyone,

After thinking for some time about what we can do to bring us all together bit more, we're stoked to present the Unit Protocol chess club♟️

If you're up for joining us in a tournament, you can find some info here: https://www.chess.com/club/unit-protocol

If you can think of a suitable prize, let us know

Hi Everyone!

Regarding our plans to change the stability fee from 1.9% to 10%, please note that:

– All CDPs that are already open will remain at 1.9%. However, if you withdraw part of your collateral, or mint $USDP from this particular CDP then the rate of 10% will apply;

– The 10% stability fee will be in effect for all new CDPs;

– We plan to lower the fee again once the peg has stabilized.

Hope that’s all clear, but let us know if you have any questions.

Quack on

Ave Quackolytes – Good times down at the pond. APR for the current distribution stands at a whopping 92.21%. A well fed duck is a happy duck 🍞🦆https://unit.xyz/staking-usdp

Get a piece of the quacktion. Stake your DUCK.

100% of the stability and liquidation fees that Unit Protocol collects go straight into the pond to be distributed to DUCK stakers. When you stake your DUCK, you can choose how long you want to lock it in the pond so it can eat up the fees and bring you back delicious rewards in the form of $USDP.
Unlike Unit Protocol’s previous staking model, you don’t have to unstake your DUCKs to claim your rewards – you can do that any time the fees are distributed by hitting CLAIM.

Here’s how to stake your DUCK:

- Go to unit.xyz/stakingv2
- Choose how much DUCK to stake, or hit Max
- Choose how long you want to lock up your DUCK (from 1 week up to 4 years)
- Check how much veDUCK you’ll get for the amount and lock time you’ve chosen
- Hit Approve
- Confirm in your wallet
- Hit Lock
- Confirm in your wallet, again
- Congratulations! Your DUCK is locked in the pond. You can claim your rewards any time you see there’s been a distribution.

Unit Protocol on Fantom will have its own (and entirely independent) governance token. The token will be used for voting on:

- adding new collateral
- managing the limits for one collateral
- changes to stability and liquidation fees

Both stability and liquidation fees (on Fantom) will be distributed to holders of the new governance token.

The token will be distributed among DUCK token holders, who will stake their DUCK for 2 to 4 years on Ethereum https://unit.xyz/stakingv2

Starting at 18:00 (UTC), October 28, 2021 the oracle for YV tokens will be replaced. yvcrvFRAX, yvcrvBUSD, yvcrvUSDN, yvcrvUST, yvcrvHUSD, yvcrvTUSD, yvYFI, yv1INCH, yvWETH, yvWBTC, yvSNX, yvLINK, yvUNI, yv3CRV, yvUDST, yvUSDC, yvSUSD.

We recommend withdrawing these collaterals from the Protocol before the system update.

Ave Quackolytes! Don’t forget to claim your $USDP rewards if you staked your DUCK. Next distribution in one week 🦆 https://unit.xyz/stakingv2

On October 22, 2021 at 04:55:12 + UTC, a transfer of 2,392,917 DUCK was made from the team's wallet to the address 0xbadbcd423ed08e99305cf806b0025c316c2b087c:

https://etherscan.io/tx/0xc42c5db859360000906692d95998ca0dbb8ea000443018b42dc70968d1ec9b67

This was a planned investment event which had been in the works for a year. As such, there was no suspicion that the individuals involved were scammers.

As soon as the tokens were transferred, the recipient began to sell them on the open market, making roughly 60 trades.

Due to low liquidity in the pools, the sales volume dropped as DUCK reached almost 0, and, as a result, liquidation on the following CDP was triggered:

https://etherscan.io/tx/0xaed4b98a3a4acd49f0c80f7abb319f83a3f5a1d25710a58fe5764bbf5d7caec6

The initial buyout price for the liquidated CDP was in the region of 0. This allowed a user to buy out a CDP position worth about US$ 3 million almost free of charge:

https://etherscan.io/tx/0x205657c84400412febd16bd1b36eb22e7187e5b39404a496f27aab359076bd78

The liquidated CDP belonged to the treasury team (unlocked tokens to date).


Conclusions

(1) The system was functioning correctly. No errors were found during a thorough investigation.

(2) As yet, we have been unable to establish a connection between the scammer (0xbadbcd423ed08e99305cf806b0025c316c2b087c) and the user (0x2FBb88EC97C4fFC513c837C566d801B368AA671E) who bought out the liquidated CDP. We will continue to investigate this.

We will also continue to work on Unit Protocol. We hope that this loss will have minimal impact on our long-term plans.
