  1. Overview

Why use Resolv?

As a stablecoin architecture, Resolv has a number of benefits:

Market-neutrality. ETH and BTC spot price changes and corresponding perpetual futures cancel each other, resulting in a stable net value.

Independence from fiat currencies. There is no $1 in the world directly attached to Resolv tokens. The only link is a claim to the exchange (in case it is a CEX), efficiently managed in terms of counterparty risk.

Capital efficiency. Minting $1 worth of USR or RLP requires $1 worth of assets (net of minting costs). No need to overcollateralize stablecoin position.

Peg. USR can be redeemed at all times for $1 worth of ETH, so any deviation from the peg can be promptly pulled to zero by arbitrage activities.

Insurance Layer. USR is protected by RLP, a scalable insurance layer.

Profitable business model. The treasury allocates inventory into staking and earns additional funding fees on futures positions.
