Mark Phillips
CoFounder, Product and Strategy
The Grove Points program opens up Grove to the wider onchain finance community. Participants can accrue points by supplying USDS or USDC through Grove Savings on Ethereum to mint sUSDS, the savings form of USDS that accrues the Sky Savings Rate.
Grove is a credit infrastructure protocol that operates as a Sky Prime Agent within the Sky Ecosystem.
Grove Points goes live May 21. During the program, every wallet supplying through Grove Savings begins accruing Grove Points.

Since launching in June 2025, Grove has grown to more than $3 billion in TVL, primarily deployed into institutional credit strategies with leading asset managers. Grove Points marks the next phase of Grove’s growth, one that the community can take part in.
There is one way into the Grove: supply USDS or USDC through Grove Savings.
Grove Savings
Grove Savings is the onchain interface to the Sky Savings Rate, set by Sky governance.
Users supply USDS or USDC to mint sUSDS, the onchain savings token associated with the Sky Savings Rate. sUSDS is fully composable across DeFi lending and collateral venues, with 24/7 onchain access to supply and redemption.
Grove operates the interface but does not set the rate.
How to participate
Open app.grove.finance and connect your wallet.
Go to the Savings tab and click Supply.
Choose either USDS or USDC.
Grove Points goes live on May 21 | Grove Protocol
Confirm the transactions in your wallet.
This mints sUSDS and registers your address in the Grove Points program. Points begin accruing immediately. Withdrawals are available at any time, to either USDS or USDC, and accrued points are not lost on withdrawal.
Credit where Credit is Due
10 million Grove Points are available per day, allocated in 15-minute intervals. Each participant accrues points proportional to their share of total sUSDS minted through Grove Savings.
Supplying USDS or USDC through Grove Savings registers your wallet with the program. Once registered, the wallet’s full sUSDS balance accrues points, including any sUSDS minted and held before Grove Points program registration. Supplying as little as $1 of USDS or USDC through Grove Savings is enough to bring an existing balance into the program.
IMPORTANT: The reverse also holds. If a wallet later mints sUSDS through Sky directly or another Sky Prime Agent, its full sUSDS balance moves out of the program and stops accruing Grove Points. Using other products to access the Sky Savings Rate may prevent Grove Points from accruing during the points campaign.
Points are non-transferable and tracked offchain. The program has no referral mechanics or wallet-based bonuses, a design choice that limits sybil behavior. Participation is subject to applicable terms and conditions, including geographic eligibility restrictions.
This is how the wider onchain finance community takes part in Grove.

Frequently asked questions
What do I supply, and how do I start?
Open app.grove.finance, connect your wallet, go to the Savings tab, and supply USDS or USDC. This mints sUSDS and points begin accruing immediately.
Can I withdraw at any time?
Yes. Withdrawals are available at any time and can be made to either USDS or USDC. Accrued points are not lost on withdrawal, but withdrawn balances will stop accumulating new points.
I already supply through Grove Savings. What do I need to do?
Nothing. When the program goes live on May 20, your existing sUSDS minted through Grove Savings begins accruing Grove Points automatically.
I already hold sUSDS minted through Sky directly or another Sky Prime Agent. Can I bring it into the program?
Yes. Supplying as little as $1 of USDS or USDC through Grove Savings registers your wallet, and your full sUSDS balance starts accruing Grove Points.
What are Sky Savings Rate referral codes, and how do they affect Grove Points?
sUSDS, the liquid token that accrues the Sky Savings Rate, can be minted through several Sky Prime Agents in the Sky Ecosystem. Each Agent has its own referral code that registers a wallet with its program when sUSDS is minted through that interface. Grove Points accrue only on sUSDS carrying Grove's referral code. Supplying as little as $1 of USDS or USDC through Grove Savings applies Grove's referral code to your wallet and brings your full sUSDS balance into the program, including any sUSDS previously minted through another Sky Prime Agent or through Sky directly. The reverse also holds: if you mint sUSDS through another Sky Prime Agent or through Sky directly during the campaign, your full sUSDS balance moves out of the program and stops accruing Grove Points. Grove Points accrue only when the wallet's most recent sUSDS transaction carries Grove's referral code.
Do I accrue Grove Points if I use sUSDS as collateral or supply it to another protocol?
No. Grove Points accrue only on sUSDS held directly in your wallet. If sUSDS is supplied as collateral, deployed in a lending market, or otherwise moved out of your wallet, that balance stops accruing Grove Points for the time it sits outside the wallet. Returning sUSDS to your wallet resumes accrual.
Do I accrue Grove Points if I bridge sUSDS to another chain?
No. Grove Points accrue only on sUSDS held in your wallet on Ethereum. Bridged sUSDS sits outside the program and stops accruing for the time it remains on another chain. Bridging the balance back to your Ethereum wallet resumes accrual.
Are points transferable?
No. Points are non-transferable and tracked offchain.
Are there any restrictions on who can accrue Grove Points?
Yes. Participation in Grove Points is subject to geographic eligibility restrictions set out in Grove’s Terms of Use.
