NUSD
NUSD is a synthetic dollar backed by a diversified portfolio of yield bearing crypto-native assets as well as optimised liquid basis positions.
Minting NUSD
Currently NUSD minting is via a permissioned process. NUSD is minted by depositing liquid assets, such as USDC, USDT or USDe, on 1:1 dollar value basis.
NUSD can also be bought on the secondary market via different liquidity venues.
Redeeming NUSD
Users can redeem NUSD for backing assets (USDC, USDT, or USDe) at a 1:1 USD value basis. Upon redemption, the protocol burns the corresponding NUSD tokens and transfers the equivalent value in the selected backing asset to the user.
