Announcing Reservoir Protocol: A Next-Gen Stablecoin Protocol

We're excited to announce the launch of Reservoir Protocol, a permissionless, next-gen protocol on Ethereum designed to provide the most scalable stablecoin and yield products via DeFi applications and real world asset integrations.

The Time Has Come!

We’re beyond thrilled to announce the launch of Reservoir Protocol, a decentralized multi collateral yield baring stablecoin protocol. Reservoir enables users to mint rUSD, a dollar pegged stablecoin. With rUSD, users can access Reservoir's yield baring tokens: srUSD (liquid yield) & trUSD (term yield). Users will also be able to borrow rUSD with a variety of collateral types in Reservoir's native lending market. Not only that, but early users will also be rewarded for their participation and loyalty - as outlined in our latest Reservoir Points Reward System blog post.

What Exactly Is Reservoir?!

Observing the demands of the market and existing challenges of the same legacy stablecoins that have long dominated the sector’s mass adoption, Reservoir was created to be the most trusted, scalable, and decentralized next-generation stablecoin protocol. Simply put, a real need exists for a decentralized, scalable, efficient, and yield-generating stablecoin to come to market that can help onboard and cross-collateralize the next $1T in onchain assets.

Backed by a diverse mix of digital and real world assets (RWA), Reservoir delivers the most scalable stablecoin solutions through its DeFi applications and RWA integrations. Whether in a bull or bear market, Reservoir offers users exposure to superior and stable yields, especially when compared to existing stablecoin protocols. The underlying assets supporting Reservoir’s products are less volatile, higher quality, and offer greater diversification than those of its peers.

Reservoir's architecture was designed to ensure protocol solvency and revert any and all transactions if proven otherwise. The protocol is constantly checked to ensure that the protocol's asset, equity, and liquidity ratios are at appropriate levels each time an action is taken.

How Can I Get Started?

Now that Reservoir is live, it’s time to head on over to the Reservoir App to get started.

This launch means users can now mint/redeem rUSD and soon will be able to use rUSD across a number of different platforms and protocols. Not only that, but starting today, rUSD holders can start earning points as part of our recently announced Reservoir Points Reward System.

In the coming weeks, our trUSD and srUSD products will be available to app users as well!
