USD.AI generates yield primarily through AI infrastructure lending by providing financing to GPU operators and compute infrastructure providers and collecting loan interest. These returns are distributed to sUSDai holders, while the governance token CHIP manages interest rates and risk parameters. This model creates an on-chain yield system backed by AI compute financing, allowing real-world infrastructure revenue to become a sustainable source of DeFi yield.
