Introducing EpsiLoan's yUSD

At the heart of EpsiLoan's decentralized stablecoin protocol lies yUSD – a USD-pegged stablecoin meticulously crafted to unlock the full potential of yield-bearing collateral assets. Designed with a modified version of the proven Liquity model, yUSD empowers users to seamlessly access interest-free loans while ensuring the health and resilience of the system through stringent collateral requirements.

Here's a closer look at what sets yUSD apart and how it serves as the cornerstone of EpsiLoan's innovative decentralized finance ecosystem:

  • Interest-Free Loans Against Yield-Bearing Collateral: With EpsiLoan, users can tap into interest-free loans drawn in yUSD, leveraging their yield-bearing collateral assets to unlock liquidity without the burden of interest payments. This unique feature provides users with unparalleled flexibility and accessibility, allowing them to harness the potential of their assets while retaining control over their financial strategy.

  • USD-Pegged Stability: yUSD maintains a stable peg to the USD, offering users a reliable store of value and a seamless medium of exchange within the EpsiLoan ecosystem. This stability ensures confidence and trust among users, fostering a vibrant and resilient financial ecosystem where transactions can occur seamlessly without the volatility associated with traditional cryptocurrencies.

  • Minimum Collateral Ratio: To uphold the integrity and health of the system, loans drawn in yUSD must maintain a minimum collateral ratio. This requirement ensures that the system remains over-collateralized, mitigating the risk of instability and safeguarding the interests of all participants within the EpsiLoan Protocol.

  • Security Mechanisms: In addition to collateral, loans drawn in yUSD are secured by a Stability Pool containing yUSD and backed by fellow borrowers who collectively serve as guarantors of last resort. These robust security mechanisms provide an additional layer of protection and resilience, enhancing the overall safety and stability of the EpsiLoan protocol.
