Unlike traditional stablecoins, qUSD is designed to put holders’ interests above all.
Backed by margin loans on a regulated platform, our protocol ensures transparency, security, and alignment with every holder.
Most stablecoins centralize reserve control, creating uncertainty and conflicts of interest. qUSD is backed by margin loans held on a regulated trading platform, where minters trade and custody their own collateral. This structure removes issuer conflicts, ensures regulatory oversight, and delivers transparent, accountable backing.
qUSD is designed to target a $1 peg through protocol mechanisms including reserves, liquidity incentives, and arbitrage participation. Peg maintenance is the protocol’s goal, and users may receive rewards for participation in these mechanisms.
Dedicated liquid assets deployed to defend the $1 price under normal conditions.
Encourages liquidity providers to stabilize the peg under moderate volatility.
Minters can unwind leveraged positions to defend the peg when market price deviates significantly.
Track mark-to-market P&L and adjust allowed leverage. Ensure sufficient short-term treasury collateral to enable peg intervention.
Q token holders vote on protocol parameters, helping guide qUSD operations. Participation in governance and protocol mechanisms may generate rewards, but these are subject to protocol and market conditions.
