Introducing USUAL: A New Standard for Governance Tokens

Unlike traditional stablecoins and yield-bearing assets that limit user benefits, USUAL offers access to both yield and growth. It rewards the growth and adoption of USD0, aligning incentives with users who help expand the protocol’s ecosystem.

  1. Real Ownership: USUAL represents ownership of 100% of the protocol’s revenue. It is a governance token backed by real cash flows.

  2. Long-Term Value: USUAL is a uniquely designed long-term value token. Its issuance is carefully calibrated based on the protocol’s revenue growth, with token emissions always kept below the increase in revenue.

  3. Scarcity with Growth: As the protocol grows, USUAL becomes increasingly scarce. The emission rate of USUAL relative to total TVL decreases with new deposits, which is intended to boost its intrinsic value over time.

  4. Community-Focused Distribution: USUAL is a true community token. 90% of the tokens are distributed to the community, while only 10% is allocated to the insiders (team and investors).
