The Electronic Dollar (eUSD) is a decentralized 1:1 asset-backed stablecoin built with Reserve Protocol, available on the Ethereum and MobileCoin blockchains. It sets itself apart from other stablecoins due to its decentralized, community-governed, and censorship-resistant nature.
eUSD embodies the following characteristics across all blockchains:
- Pegged to USD
- Proof of reserves on-chain 24/7 (auditable and transparent)
- Backed 1:1 by a diversified basket of yield-bearing trusted stablecoins (aUSDC, aUSDT, cUSDC, cUSDT)
- Censorship-resistance (from utilizing derivative assets (“receipt tokens”) from the most successful/proven DeFi protocols Aave and Compound)
- Over-collateralized and governed by the community in a fully decentralized way
eUSD use on Ethereum:
- Paired with Reserve's incentivized liquidity on decentralized exchanges, such as Curve Finance, DeFi ecosystem participants and DAO treasuries can earn yield that is decentralized, censorship-resistant, and most of all, stable.
eUSD use on Mobilecoin:
- Private transactions using end-to-end zero-knowledge encryption
- Uses a KYC/AML-permissioned bridge to support regulatory compliance
- Optimized for mobile devices, settlement in less than 5 seconds and sub-penny fees (a flat $0.0025 per transaction in eUSD) paid in eUSD no matter the transaction size
