The Problem

Existing on-chain dollar products either rely on centralised bank rails (USDC/USDT) or are over-collateralised and capital-inefficient. Yield-bearing stables typically expose holders to single-strategy risk and have no built-in loss-absorbing tranche.

The Solution

Resolv backs USR with a delta-neutral ETH/BTC/USD collateral pool hedged with short perpetuals, and isolates volatility into a junior RLP tranche. Holders of USR get a dollar-pegged yield instrument; risk-takers in RLP earn leveraged returns and absorb tail losses for the senior layer.

Why it Matters

Two-tranche basis-trading design (USR senior + RLP junior) inspired by structured-finance principles, separating stable-yield seekers from risk-seeking liquidity. Cross-chain deployment from launch (9 EVM networks). Track record damaged by March 2026 off-chain key compromise.
