After months of design and $1B+ of capital interest, this joint program allows Blackrock BUIDL and other RWA holders to seamlessly access DeFi using deUSD as the primary currency

deUSD’s core backing consists of funding yield and treasury exposure via USDS

Without altering deUSD’s backing or risk profile, holders of Securitize tokenized assets like Blackrock’s BUIDL and Hamilton Lane’s SCOPE can now access DeFi apps via deUSD with isolated yield exposure

Securitize-issued RWAs are now both liquid and composable for the first time, tapping into deUSD’s $110M+ of unified on-chain liquidity

Through this institutional program with Securitize, participants can isolate yield exposure Isolated RWA backing can be redeemed 1:1 by the network for USDC via existing on-chain atomic liquidity

Securitize is proud to announce the launch of sToken, powered by ERC-4626 vault technology, through Securitize Credit in partnership with Elixir ’s “deUSD RWA Institutional Program.”

An in-depth research article detailing the mechanism designs underpinning both the network and deUSD here

This is the first of two research-oriented reports conducted by Delphi Consulting in the time since Elixir’s phase I mainnet launch

This set includes a mix of community validators, institutional infrastructure providers, and strategic partners during mainnet phase I

Validators secure the network and ensure high-throughput consensus.

Genesis Validators are just the first step — at public mainnet launch, anyone will be able to stake to their own a validator (or delegate to an existing one)

Elixir will soon announce a Foundation Delegation Program, delegating foundation tokens to smaller performant validators
