# QuickStart Guide

Follow this step-by-step guide to start earning yield through the Re Protocol.

### 1. Visit the Platform

Go to [re.xyz](https://re.xyz). Select the strategy you'd like to participate in:

* **Basis-Plus (reUSD)** — senior tranche, lower-volatility yield
* **Insurance Alpha (reUSDe)** — junior tranche, higher yield

### 2. Connect Your Wallet

* **Choose a compatible wallet:** Connect a wallet like MetaMask that supports the necessary networks.
* **Provide an email** and agree to our Platform Agreement in the popup.
* **Ensure you're funded:** Make sure your wallet contains an accepted token (e.g., USDC, USDe, or sUSDe) for staking.

### 3. Stake Your Tokens

* **Select your token:** Choose which accepted token you want to deposit.
* **Enter the amount:** The platform will show the equivalent protocol tokens you'll receive — reUSD for traditional stablecoins, or reUSDe for Ethena assets.

### 4. Accept Terms & Fee Schedule

* **Review the fee schedule** outlining costs associated with the token purchase.
* **Review and agree to the Token Purchase Agreement**, confirming your understanding of the process, including fees, token minting, and escrow conditions.

### 5. Complete the KYC Process

KYC and AML checks are required because a portion of protocol capital is deployed with a licensed reinsurance partner regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA). The reinsurance company must confirm that capital providers are not sanctioned and that funds are not linked to prohibited activity.

* **Submit KYC documentation** by following the on-screen instructions.
* **KYC outcomes:**
  * **Pass:** Your protocol tokens (reUSD or reUSDe) are minted and sent to your wallet.
  * **Fail:** You can request a refund to have your tokens returned from escrow.
  * **Additional info needed:** You'll be prompted to provide further documentation.

### 6. Start Earning

* **Hold your tokens** to earn yield. Token prices accrue daily based on a blended rate of SOFR (off-protocol capital) and the 7-day trailing sUSDe rate (on-chain capital), plus your token's spread.
* **Monitor performance** via the protocol dashboard and [transparency page](https://app.re.xyz/transparency).
* **Explore DeFi opportunities:** Use your tokens in Curve, Pendle, Morpho, or other DeFi venues for additional yield.
