# Getting Started

## Launch Features

Users currently can:

* **Permissionlessly Buy** ***USDz***. This allows access to external AMM pools to buy *USDz* with USDC.
* **Direct Buy&#x20;*****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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.anzen.finance/user-guide/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
