The highly anticipated decentralised stablecoin USN has launched on the Near protocol with Decentral Bank, an independent team, taking the lead in the stablecoin initiative:
USN Stablecoin Goes Live
USN is a stablecoin designed in similar fashion to TerraUSD (UST) and can be minted by depositing NEAR tokens, the Near blockchain’s native crypto asset, as collateral. USN is led by Decentral Bank, a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO), in collaboration with Proximity Lab, a DeFi-focused team in the Near ecosystem. USN does not pay as high a yield as previously thought, but still offers a 10 percent annual yield from Decentral Bank.
Additional Stability for USN
The Decentral Bank DAO will have a few stability mechanisms to support USN’s dollar peg, with the first being an arbitrage system that will try to ensure that the USN stablecoin trades around one dollar’s worth of NEAR tokens. The second stability measure is a “reserve fund” made up of NEAR and USDT tokens held by the DAO treasury. It is still unclear how much will be spent on this fund:
