Gold Yield/Sec Account

Gold Yield/Sec Account is an earning wallet designed to help users grow their assets through yield/interest over time. Instead of using your funds for active trading, you place assets into Gold Yield so they can generate returns based on the product’s yield rules.

Gold Yield is best for users who want:

  • A simple way to earn on idle balances
  • Clear daily/periodic earnings visibility
  • A dedicated wallet that separates “earning funds” from “trading funds”

In most wallet designs, Gold Yield behaves like an Earn account:

  • You deposit/subscribe assets into Gold Yield
  • The system calculates earnings over time
  • You can track yesterday’s earnings and cumulative earnings
  • You can move funds back to Spot when you want to stop earning (depending on the product’s rules)

What Gold Yield is used for​

Gold Yield is used for:

  1. Earning on supported assets
    • You can place supported coins (for example sUSD, sCNH, OZ — depending on your UI) into Gold Yield and earn yield.
  2. Tracking earnings performance
    • The wallet provides a simple summary:
      • Total Earn Balance
      • Yesterday’s Earnings
      • Cumulative Earnings
  3. Viewing asset-level details
    • Each asset in Gold Yield usually shows:
      • Your balance in that asset
      • The displayed yield rate (APY)
      • A “Detail” view for more information
  4. Managing earning activity
    • You can review history records of earnings and account movements.
    • You can add more funds to earn or redeem funds back to a usable wallet (if supported).

How Gold Yield works (core concept)​

Gold Yield is based on the idea that idle funds can generate returns when they are placed into an earning account.

Step 1: Add funds to Gold Yield (Transfer)​

You move funds into Gold Yield, typically from your Spot wallet. Once moved:

  • Those funds are counted as your Gold Yield balance
  • They are treated as funds intended for earning, not for active trading

Step 2: Earnings are calculated​

Gold Yield calculates earnings based on:

  • Your balance
  • The yield rate shown (often displayed as APY)
  • The product’s calculation schedule (daily/periodic)

The UI commonly summarizes results as:

  • Yesterday’s Earnings: what you earned during the previous calculation period
  • Cumulative Earnings: total earned since you started using Gold Yield

Step 3: Earnings are added to your earn balance​

Depending on your design, earnings may:

  • Increase your total earn balance automatically
  • Or be recorded as separate earning entries in History

Step 4: View history and manage funds​

Users can review earning records and, when desired, move funds back to Spot or another wallet section (subject to rules).

Understanding APY (Yield rate)​

APY (Annual Percentage Yield) is a yearly rate shown to help users compare returns across assets.

Important notes for users:

  • APY can change based on market conditions and product rules
  • APY is a rate representation; actual earnings depend on balance and time
  • Daily earnings are typically a small portion of the yearly APY

Gold Yield pages often show a risk label (for example “Low Risk”), but this is still an earning product and returns are not guaranteed unless your product explicitly guarantees them.

What users see on the Gold Yield page​

A well-structured Gold Yield wallet usually includes:

Earn summary​

  • Total Earn Balance: total principal + earned amount (depending on design)
  • Yesterday’s Earnings: last period earnings
  • Cumulative Earnings: total earned to date

Asset list​

For each supported asset:

  • Your current earn balance
  • APY
  • A Detail button to see asset-specific information

History​

A dedicated History page/button that lists:

  • Interest/earnings entries
  • Subscriptions (added funds)
  • Redemptions (moved out funds)
  • Other adjustments (if applicable)

Typical user flow (how people use Gold Yield)​

  1. User holds idle funds in Spot (example: sUSD).
  2. User transfers/subscribes part of it into Gold Yield.
  3. The system begins generating earnings according to yield rules.
  4. User checks:
    • Yesterday’s Earnings
    • Cumulative Earnings
  5. When the user wants to stop earning or use funds for trading:
    • User redeems/transfers funds back to Spot (if supported).
  6. All earning and movement records remain visible in History.

Common questions and explanations​

“Why did my Spot balance go down?”​

  • Because you moved funds into Gold Yield. Those funds are still yours, but now placed in the earning wallet.

“Why did Yesterday’s Earnings show 0?”​

  • You just subscribed and the first earning cycle hasn’t completed yet
  • Balance is too small to show a visible amount
  • The calculation time hasn’t arrived yet

“Does APY stay the same?”​

  • Not always. APY can change depending on product settings and market conditions.

“Can I withdraw immediately?”​

  • Depends on product design:
    • Flexible products: usually can redeem anytime
    • Locked/plan products: may have delays or limits

Tips & best practices​

  • Use Gold Yield for funds you don’t need for immediate trading.
  • Start small to understand earning timing and history.
  • Check History to confirm earning events and calculations.
  • Redeem back to Spot before placing large trades.
  • Treat yield as variable unless the product explicitly guarantees a fixed return.
