Introduction

Elixir is a high-throughput network powering exchange-based use cases, acting as the primary source of orderbook liquidity on six exchanges and powering deUSD – DeFi’s native yield-bearing dollar.

deUSD serves as the rails for institutional assets to access DeFi. Used exclusively by Securitize, deUSD is the default currency bringing on-chain composability for BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, and others. deUSD is natively yield bearing, earning from a mixture of treasuries and funding yield, and will serve as preferred collateral for orderbook exchanges.

deUSD also is the backing asset for ecosystem-native stablecoins and related products including Sei Network’s native stablecoin (fastUSD) and Reya Network’s stablecoin liquidity vault. Other upcoming deUSD backing additions will include Movement’s moveUSD (100% wrapped sdeUSD), and Plume’s stable asset vault.

Motivation

Elixir’s deUSD has garnered support from both retail and institutional investors, with ~$100M of onchain liquidity and $220M+ of TVL just months after launching. Institutions have expressed significant interest in adding both deUSD and its yield-bearing staked version (sdeUSD) to the lend/borrow markets on Compound - we estimate that more than $30M in deUSD from institutional holders would be deposited within the first week.

Staked deUSD’s native yield ranges weekly from 10% to 30%+ APY (not including additional Elixir potion incentives) – making this an attractive market for Compound users.
