Harvest
Direct Chia yield in USDC on Base
Harvest is the final piece of our ecosystem. If you are exploring the Chia Network but prefer holding stable assets rather than XCH or FMX, Harvest converts your farming yield directly into USDC on the Base network: fast, liquid, and reliable.
How It Works
To start swapping your rewards, make sure you meet the following requirements:
-
Active Stake of 500+ FMX
A minimum balance of 500 FMX ensures that weekly swaps remain cost-effective. A 500 FMX stake unlocks the ability to swap up to 1.45 XCH per week for USDC at current market rates.
-
Matching Staking Wallet
Connect the exact Chia wallet associated with your stake. The protocol will not recognize unlinked addresses.
-
Sufficient Balance for Fees
Maintain a sufficient balance for the swap amount plus an additional 0.0001 XCH to cover on-chain network transaction fees.
-
EVM Wallet on Base
Prepare an EVM-compatible wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, etc.) configured for the Base network. Paste your recipient address into the swap form and your USDC will be delivered directly there.
-
Swap Amount and Frequency
Amount: exactly one weekly reward, claimed or not.
Frequency: once per epoch, the same as rewards.
Epochs reset every Friday at 22:00 UTC. Swap just before and just after the reset to use two epochs back-to-back.
-
Claim First
At least one Claim is required before you can swap.
After that, no more claims are needed.
Adding funds repeats this step.
Example. You stake this week: no swap yet. Next week: claim your reward, then swap. After that: swap every week, no claiming needed. If you add funds later, claim once the following week, then swap again.
Alternative Strategy: Compound with FMX
Converting to USDC is entirely optional. You can also reinvest your earned XCH into FMX to maximize compound staking yields. Check out our Calculator to see a projected 10-year comparative growth model.
