Why Did My USDG Rewards Stop?

How a closed USDG token account can stop your rewards and how to fix it.

If you have been receiving USDG rewards but they have suddenly stopped, you may have closed your USDG token account.

What is a USDG token account?

A USDG token account is a Solana token account in your wallet that holds your USDG balance. It is required for our system to airdrop your rewards to you. Without an active USDG token account, we have no way to send your rewards.

How does it get closed?

Closing a token account is not something that happens by accident. It requires you to manually confirm a transaction in your wallet. This can happen if you use a wallet management feature that sweeps or closes empty or low-balance token accounts, or if you manually closed it yourself. Either way, once the account is closed, your rewards will stop.

How to fix it

To reopen your USDG token account, you need to receive any amount of USDG into your wallet. If you do not have another account to send USDG from, you can use a DEX such as Jupiter to swap a small amount into USDG. For example, swapping as little as 0.000001 USDC to USDG is enough to reopen the account. Once your account is active, your missed rewards will be airdropped to you automatically. No further action is needed.

Will I recover all my missed rewards?

Up to 2 weeks of missed rewards are preserved on-chain and will be automatically reclaimed for you once your account is reopened. However, if your account has been closed for longer than 2 weeks, any rewards beyond that window are permanently lost. This is why it is important to reopen your account as soon as possible.

How to avoid this happening again

Keep your USDG token account open at all times. If your wallet has an auto-close or token account management feature, make sure USDG is excluded. Closing the account will always result in missed rewards until it is reopened.


Just deposited and waiting for your first reward?

This article does not apply to you. Please wait at least a few days as rewards may be delayed depending on the timing of your deposit and the current epoch cycle. You can refer to When Will I Receive My USDG Staking Rewards? for more details.
