# StakeUp

## Overview

StakeUp Protocol, developed by the Blueberry Foundation, is a composability layer built on top of Circle's `USDC` and Bloom Protocol's `Bloom-v2` , creating an automated lending vault for `USDC` and `TBY`s. This allows permissionless lenders(1) to loan `USDC` to permissioned borrowers within the Bloom system, who can only use these loans to purchase tokenized 'tracker certificates' replicating the price movements of US Treasury Bills. This closed-loop system aims to address the challenge of accessing yield from US Treasury bills.

Additionally, RWAs in DeFi face integration and utility issues due to KYC-mandated procedures and non-KYC nature across the majority of DeFi protocols. StakeUp Protocol's product structure offers significant commercial reach, enabling it to be offered as a stable asset (`stUSDC`), a fixed-income product or a low-risk savings account in various emerging market regions with currency instability, providing stable yields and currency hedging in an easy-to-use product backed up by the most liquid market in tradFi.
