Where does this yield come from?
USDS yield comes primarily from the Sky Savings Rate (USR), set by Sky governance, and from lending interest in protocols like Spark and Morpho. The USR is funded by Sky's collateral revenue and acts as a baseline rate for USDS holders.
Risk considerations
USDS is a decentralized stablecoin issued by Sky (formerly MakerDAO), backed by overcollateralized crypto. Key risks: collateral de-peg, governance decisions changing the savings rate, smart contract risk. USDS has one of the longest track records among decentralized stablecoins.
