Grove App
The Grove App is the user-facing interface for the Grove protocol, available at app.grove.finance. It lets individuals and institutions interact directly with Grove's onchain products: supplying USDS or USDC into savings, supplying into Ecosystem Rewards, and staking GROVE for governance.
Grove Savings
Grove Savings is the primary product surfaced in the Grove App. Participants supply USDS or USDC and receive sUSDS, the savings token of the Sky Ecosystem, in return. The sUSDS exchange rate updates according to the Sky Savings Rate, a parameter set by Sky governance, with no lock-ups and no claim transactions required. Grove provides the interface and does not set the rate.
Because sUSDS is a standard ERC-4626 vault share, it is fully composable with the broader DeFi ecosystem. Holders can use it as collateral, supply it to lending markets, or pair it in DEX liquidity at any time.
Grove Points
Participants who supply through Grove Savings also accrue Grove Points, an onchain record of contribution to the Grove Protocol. Points accrue proportional to the amount supplied relative to the total pool. Your Points balance is shown alongside your other balances in the Grove App.
Ecosystem Rewards
The Rewards page connects the app to the Sky Ecosystem Rewards program. Participants supply USDS — or USDC, routed through the Sky Peg Stability Module in the same flow — to the Grove Farm and accrue GROVE that Sky distributes to USDS suppliers on the schedule published in Sky Atlas. Accrued GROVE is claimed separately from withdrawing, and there is no lock-up on the supplied balance.
The rate is not fixed: it moves with the GROVE issuance schedule set by Sky Ecosystem Governance, the market price of GROVE, and your share of the total supplied. Grove does not control the issuance or distribution. See Ecosystem Rewards for the full walkthrough.
Staking and governance
The Staking page mints stGROVE from GROVE. Only staked GROVE carries voting power in Grove governance, and there is no minimum stake. Holders either delegate their voting power to one of the appointed delegates or vote directly on Grove's Snapshot space. Unstaking runs on two-week epochs and takes between two and four weeks.
Delegated stGROVE also accrues Seeds, a non-transferable daily record of governance participation with no monetary value. See GROVE Staking for the walkthrough and The Seeds Program for how accrual is weighted.
Custody and Security
The Grove App is a noncustodial frontend. Deposits flow into audited smart contracts in the Sky and Grove ecosystems. At no point does Grove, Grove Labs, or the Grove Foundation hold user funds. All contract addresses surfaced by the app are published in Deployed Contracts, and the protocol's audit history is documented in Protocol Security.
Get Started
To connect a wallet and supply USDS or USDC, visit app.grove.finance. For protocol-level documentation, including the Allocator that ultimately deploys this capital across credit markets, start with the Grove Allocator.
Disclaimer
sUSDS reflects the Sky Savings Rate, which is set by Sky governance and may change. Grove does not set the rate and does not guarantee any specific outcome. Ecosystem Rewards distributions are made by the Sky Ecosystem on a schedule Grove does not control, and any rate shown is an estimate rather than a guaranteed return. Grove Points and Seeds are non-transferable, have no monetary value, and confer no claim, security, or entitlement. Staking GROVE confers voting power and no payment, yield, or distribution.
