🪙 How
$USDV is Created in the Velo's Ecosystem
1. To create 1
$USDV (worth 1
$USDT, like 1 U.S. dollar), you give 1 USDT worth of
$VELO tokens as a promise.
At the same time, the Foundation sets aside another 1
$USDT, which includes 0.5 USDT in
$VELO and 0.5 USDT in assets like
$BUIDL,
$USDL or PLG Tokens (chosen by VeloDAO, a group of community voters).
2. Together, the total value backing each
$USDV is 2
$USDT (your 1 USDT + the Foundation’s 1 USDT).
This double protection keeps USDV’s value from falling and ensures it stays steady at 1 USDT.
You use VELO to make USDV, and the Foundation adds extra value to make it twice as safe, so it doesn’t lose its worth.
