USHD Use Cases

USHD is more than a stablecoin—it’s the foundational settlement layer of the HELIX ecosystem, offering transparent value storage and seamless access to institutional-grade yield strategies.

With its RWA-backed design and omni-chain composability, USHD powers a wide range of use cases across institutional participants, DAOs, DeFi protocols, and the broader DeFi ecosystem.

On-Chain Reserve Asset

USHD offers institutions, DAOs, and DeFi protocols volatility-managed solutions for treasuries or portfolios—enhancing value while maintaining full liquidity and utility across DeFi.

Gateway to Insitutional-Grade Yields

As the entry point into HELIX’s RWAFi ecosystem, USHD allows users to program their risk-reward exposure through HELIX’s multi-strategy yield offerings:

• USHDs – stake USHD to earn liquid yield reflective of short-duration money market instruments with no lockups.

• USHDx – stake USHD with a lock-up to access higher-yield strategies backed by a diversified portfolio of credit funds with proven track records.

Composable Liquidity for DeFi Protocols

USHD can be seamlessly integrated across lending platforms, liquidity pools, structured products, and other on-chain systems—acting as a composable, transparent, and fully collateralized source of liquidity for DeFi protocols.

Cross-Chain Treasury and Strategy Deployment

USHD’s omni-chain architecture enables DAOs, managers, and protocols to coordinate treasury, and yield strategies across multiple blockchain ecosystems—supporting unified resource allocation in a fragmented DeFi landscape.
