# Getting Started

## Launch Features

Users currently can:

* **Permissionlessly Buy** ***USDz***. This allows access to external AMM pools to buy *USDz* with USDC.
* **Direct Buy *****USDz***. You can deposit accepted backing assets and receive *USDz.*
* **Stake** *USDz.* Users in permitted jurisdictions can stake *USDz* and receive *sUSDz*, which will accrue staking rewards automatically. [Learn more about Staking](/user-guide/how-to-stake-unstake-usdz.md).

## How to Earn with USDz

On Anzen, users can easily ***Buy** and **Stake*** with our user-friendly platform. For features such as third-party staking, users may need to rely on third-party protocols (ie: Aerodrome, Extra Finance, Beefy).

**It is crucial to understand:**

* Holders of *sUSDz* automatically accrue rewards without any additional actions.
* Rewards are accumulated within the staking contract, gradually increasing the value of *sUSDz* over time instead of paying out directly.
* When unstaking *sUSDz*, users receive an amount of *USDz* reflecting the staked amount plus any appreciation in the value of *sUSDz* from the time of staking to unstaking.
* The quantity of *sUSDz* received when staking *USDz* is contingent upon the prevailing value of *sUSDz*, which is anticipated to appreciate gradually as protocol rewards enter the Staking smart contract.
