Overview

What is ayUSD?

ayUSD is a yield-bearing stablecoin strategy. Deposit dollars, receive ayUSD, and the token accrues value as the strategies behind it earn. Behind it is a mix of dollar strategies — funding arbitrage, liquidity provision, delta-neutral basis, cross-venue arbitrage — rotated as conditions change, and mostly run in-house. The token itself stays a liquid, composable building block you can hold, lend, LP, or use as collateral without ever unwinding your yield.

Yield sources

Where the yield comes from.

Capital rotates into whatever the market is paying. The bulk is run and monitored in-house; a limited sleeve sits with vetted third-party venues. Every source is scored and capped by allocation policy.
