💲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
