nUSD Stablecoin

What is nUSD?

nUSD is Nexxore's native synthetic stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. Unlike traditional stablecoins where collateral sits idle, nUSD is backed by productive collateral that generates yield.

Why nUSD?

🔄 Productive Collateral

Traditional CDPs (like MakerDAO) keep collateral idle. Nexxore deploys your collateral into yield-generating protocols while you hold nUSD.

📊 Yield Bearing

nUSD inherently earns yield. The longer you hold, the more value accrues.

🛡️ Over-Collateralized

Always backed by more collateral than nUSD in circulation. No algorithmic risks.

⚡ Auto-Protection

Smart rebalancing helps prevent liquidations by auto-adjusting positions.


Stability Mechanism

nUSD maintains its peg through:

1. Over-Collateralization

Minimum 130-250% collateral backing (depending on strategy).

2. Liquidation Engine

Under-collateralized positions are liquidated to maintain system health.

3. Stability Fee

Annual fee paid by minters, adjustable by governance.

4. Redemption Arbitrage

If nUSD < $1: Arbitrageurs buy nUSD cheap, redeem for $1 of collateral If nUSD > $1: Arbitrageurs mint nUSD, sell for > $1
