What Is Ethena and USDe?
Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum that will provide a crypto-native solution for money not reliant on traditional banking system infrastructure. Ethena stands as a prominent player in the crypto sphere, having amassed nearly 1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) in less than a month. It aims to revolutionize DeFi by transforming ETH into yield-bearing USDe tokens.
USDe is Ethena’s synthetic dollar, which provides a censorship-resistant, stable, and scalable solution for the digital asset market, backed fully on-chain and free to compose on other protocols. Unlike traditional stable assets, USDe relies on innovative technologies, such as delta-hedging and established assets like ETH, to maintain its peg to the dollar.
