Integrations

Steady is designed to be easily integrated. The combination of ERC-20 compatibility, the two-token model (STDY + wSTDY), and the lack of exotic mechanics (no staking, no claiming, no separate reward tokens) makes Steady straightforward to plug into existing fintech and DeFi stacks.

This section covers common integration patterns and where each token variant fits. For full technical documentation, contract interfaces, and code examples, see Steady for Developers.

Choosing the Right Token Variant

The most important integration decision is which token to use:

• Use STDY when balance changes via rebase are acceptable or desirable — direct holding, treasury management, wallet displays, custodial accounting
• Use wSTDY when balance stability matters — DeFi pools, lending markets, structured products, anything that tracks user share via fixed token amounts

For most institutional and direct-holder use cases, STDY is the natural choice. For some edge-case DeFi integrations, wSTDY is. Some products might end up using both: STDY for storage and balance growth, wSTDY for active deployment.

Common Integration Patterns

Wallet Integration. Wallets that support ERC-20 tokens support STDY and wSTDY natively. Custodial wallets and balance display surfaces benefit from rendering STDY's rebasing balance directly, users see their balance growing in real time, which is a UX advantage over static-balance stablecoins.

Treasury Management. Treasury tools, finance dashboards, and corporate cash management platforms can hold STDY directly to give clients on-chain T-Bill APY exposure without changing their balance display logic. The growth shows up as increasing balance, which most accounting tools already know how to handle.

Payments and Settlement. Steady can be used as the settlement asset in cross-border payment flows, programmable disbursement systems, and institutional clearing layers. STDY's stability and T-Bill-tracking APY mean assets in transit aren't idle, they reflect underlying performance even during settlement windows.

DeFi Protocols. AMMs, lending markets, structured products, and yield aggregators integrate wSTDY the same way they integrate any other ERC-20 stablecoin, no special handling, no rebase logic, no custom interfaces.

Exchanges and Custodians. Institutional exchanges and custodians can integrate Steady into their account ledgers, balance displays, and statement systems. The mint and redeem flow happens off-exchange through Steady's primary market, while trading and transfers happen normally on-chain.

What You Don't Have to Build

Many other stablecoins that share returns with holders require integrating teams to handle complex flows: staking interfaces, claim mechanics, separate reward tokens, restake logic, lockup periods. Steady requires none of this.

• No staking contracts to integrate with
• No claim flows to implement
• No reward token management
• No lockup or unbonding periods
• No restaking logic

Your integration is the integration of a standard ERC-20. The growth happens at the protocol level, not at your application layer.
