What is paUSD ($ stablecoin)?
paUSD is a USD stablecoin backed by collaterals, and can only be minted with governance-approved collaterals. paUSD are created when users deposit accepted tokens (such as WETH, WBTC, USDC, etc) as collateral in vaults and in turn receive a loan against that collateral.
Token symbol: paUSD
- Token contract (Ethereum): 0x571f54D23cDf2211C83E9A0CbD92AcA36c48Fa02
- Token contract (Polygon): TBA
There are no counterparties involved in the minting and burning of paUSD tokens, as actors in the network transact directly with the paUSD smart contracts. Vaults are non-custodial, with each borrower having full control over their collateral and borrowed paUSD balances, provided it meets the minimum health factor governed by the protocol as a whole.
