What is Usual?
Usual is a stablecoin protocol that issues USD0, a dollar fully backed 1:1 by tokenized U.S. Treasury Bills and other short-duration real-world assets. Users mint USD0, stake it into USD0++ for yield, or earn the USUAL governance token, which redistributes 90% of protocol revenue back to holders. Built on Ethereum, the protocol holds around $100M in TVL and is integrated with Morpho, Pendle, Curve, and major centralized exchanges.
