Yield accumulated from the Aave USDC lending market on Optimism is distributed monthly to all members of the cohort. Distribution is equal across all cohort members, though this may be updated in future versions to reflect proportional impact or other mechanisms.

Example: If 10 projects are in the cohort and the protocol earned 10,000 obUSD in a month, each project would receive 1,000 obUSD to their registered OP rewards recipient address. These funds can be used freely or held as yield-bearing assets.

Important: obUSD is a sibling project within Bread Coop’s (prev. Breadchain) family of solidarity-based solutions. Explore more about solidarity funding at
