avUSD is Avant's USD-backed base token, minted against USDC. It is the starting point for this product: you can mint or swap into it, redeem it, or use it to earn through the Senior or Junior option. Learn more in the Core Tokens guide.

avUSD is the base token and does not earn yield. savUSD is the Senior option, designed for users who want to earn yield with the lower-risk position. avUSDx is the Junior option, which takes more risk in exchange for a potentially higher share of yield. Read the Core Tokens guide for the full breakdown.

There is nothing to claim. The value of your savUSD or avUSDx grows as yield is distributed, so each token can be redeemed for more of the base token over time. savUSD accrues value daily; avUSDx updates weekly. Yield is paid in kind, as more USD exposure. See Yield Distribution for more detail.

Use Mint or Redeem for the direct protocol route with the product's backing asset. Use Swap to buy or sell through available in-app liquidity. Swap may be available on any supported chain, including the native chain; the app shows the available route and quote before you confirm. See Minting avAssets and Redeeming avAssets.

It depends on the option you use. A base-token redemption is often completed within a few hours but can take up to seven days. Unstaking savUSD takes 24 hours. Redeeming avUSDx takes one week. A Swap can be another way to exit when in-app liquidity is available; review the quoted output before confirming. See Redeeming avAssets, Unstaking savAssets, and Redeeming avAssetX.
