DeFi Dollar Drops

DefiDollar @defidollar

DefiDollar ($DUSD) is live! 🥳🥂 🔐Audited by @peckshield & @Quantstamp 📜Blog - medium.com/defidollar/def…

medium.comDefiDollar is live!Mint DUSD using DAI, sUSD, USDT and USDC!

DeFiDollar dropped today. Audited by Quantstamp and Peckshield, DUSD is a stablecoin index backed asset that uses Defi primitives to stay near the dollar mark. It currently integrates with Curve’s sUSD pool and other pools are being explored.

Users can stake their DUSD for yield from the pool. When/if DUSD becomes undercollateralized, that yield is partially locked used to re-collateralize DUSD.

Capped at $3M, DeFiDollar almost immediately hit their cap! We’re excited to see how this project progresses.
