💲What is USDB?

USDB is a decentralized, overcollateralized stablecoin backed by real-world infrastructure.

Unlike fiat-backed or purely crypto-backed stablecoins, USDB leverages a diversified reserve of institutional-grade infrastructure assets—power grids, clean energy sources, logistics chains, and data services—to maintain its peg and generate consistent yield.

Key Characteristics

  • Price Peg: 1 USDB = 1 USD

  • Backing Type: Real-world infrastructure assets

  • Collateralization: Overcollateralized, with dynamic adjustment mechanisms

  • Yield Generation: Real-world assets generate revenue, which is redistributed to stakers and governance treasury

  • Transparency: On-chain proof of reserves and third-party audits

Why Infrastructure-Backed?

  • Resilience: Infrastructure assets are less volatile and more recession-resistant

  • Stability: Physical utility ensures continuous value, unlike speculative financial instruments

  • Institutional Readiness: Appealing to conservative capital via real-world tangibility
