Overview
Overcollateralized, Decentralized, and Designed for Stability
USDQ is an overcollateralized synthetic stablecoin, created when users deposit approved collateral assets such as stablecoins (e.g., USDC, USDT, DAI) and major crypto assets (e.g., ETH, BTC, and selected altcoins). The protocol enforces an overcollateralization framework, ensuring that the total collateral value always exceeds the value of USDQ minted — safeguarding its stability under diverse market conditions.
All collateral deposited into the USDQ system is managed under neutral market strategies designed to limit exposure to price volatility. By decoupling collateral value from directional risk, USDQ maintains its peg while staying fully backed on-chain. This design ensures predictability, solvency, and robustness — the foundation of trust for a synthetic dollar.
Through this mechanism, USDQ offers a reliable, decentralized alternative to fiat-backed stablecoins, optimized for DeFi users and institutions seeking both capital efficiency and resilient stability.
