Mint satUSD
is an omnichain interoperability protocol that enables seamless communication between different blockchains. It allows developers to build omnichain applications (OApps) that can interact across multiple chains as if they were on a single chain.
satUSD is a Bitcoin-backed, over-collateralized stablecoin pegged to $1 USD. Satoshi Protocol allows users to deposit collateral at a 110% collateralization ratio to mint satUSD or perform 1:1 exchanges with USDC/USDT.
Satoshi Protocol has launched V2, introducing the first Omni-CDP integrated with LayerZero to enable omnichain liquidity management for BTC.
With this upgrade, users can deposit BTC or BTC LSTs (e.g., solvBTC, LBTC) on any supported chain and seamlessly mint satUSD—a BTC-backed stablecoin by Satoshi Protocol—on a destination chain. This innovation enhances BTC liquidity across ecosystems, unlocking new yield and arbitrage opportunities.
satUSD is a universal stablecoin backed by Bitcoin. It offers greater transparency and user control compared to fiat-backed centralized stablecoins.
You can deposit BTC or BTC LSTs as collateral on the source chain and choose to mint satUSD on a destination chain.
To ensure the stability of your position, a minimum collateral ratio (MCR) is required: 110% for BTC and 120% for BTC LSTs, though the exact ratio may vary depending on the specific asset
Gas compensation refers to a small reserve of satUSD set aside to cover transaction fees associated with the liquidation of your position.
satUSD maintains its peg through over-collateralization, an instant liquidation module, and a peg mechanism.
If satUSD drops below $1, arbitragers can purchase discounted satUSD and redeem it for $1 worth of BTC from the protocol.
If satUSD exceeds $1.10, users can mint satUSD at 110% MCR and sell it immediately on the market.
If your position’s collateral ratio fall below 110%, it will be allowed to trigger liquidation, which mean your collateral will be sold to stability pool providers for satUSD to repay your debt.
To avoid liquidations, maintain a healthy collateralization ratio, typically above 150%. You can add collateral to your position or repay part of your debt to improve the ratio and prevent liquidation.
You can close your position by repaying your satUSD debt in full. Once the debt is repaid, you can claim your collateral.
During Recovery Mode, actions are taken to improve the Total Collateral Ratio (TCR) to 150%:
Positions with a collateral ratio below 150% are liquidated.
Minting is restricted to maintaining a 150% Minimum Collateral Ratio (MCR).
To incentivize recovery, the minting fee is set to 0%.
Yes, satUSD is designed to operate on multiple chains, currently it works on BEVM, BOB, BSquared, & Bitlayer. We are working on to add more chains.
Yes, Satoshi Protocol has undergone audits to ensure security and safety. The audits were conducted by Scalebit, Supremacy, and Billh.

The Stability Pool (SP) is a key part of the Satoshi Protocol that maintains system stability by providing liquidity for settling debts from liquidated positions. Users can deposit satUSD into the pool and benefit from discounted liquidated collateral.
Yes, users can deposit satUSD into the pool and benefit from discounted liquidated collateral.
The APR displayed on the protocol is calculated based on the average amount of collateral liquidated over the past 7 days, along with the current BTC price.
If you find your deposited satUSD decreasing, it means a liquidation has occurred. satUSD depositors gain liquidated collateral, such as wBTC, tBTC, etc., at a discounted price.
The reward you claim from the Stability Pool liquidation is wBTC, please add the wBTC contract address to your wallet. Keep in mind that the contract addresses for wBTC can differ based on the chain you are using, so make sure to verify and use the correct address for the specific chain you are operating on.
Yes, you can swap satUSD for USDT/USDC at a 1:1 ratio. Please note that there is a 3-day lock-up period for withdrawals.
The 3-day lock-up period is implemented to ensure sufficient liquidity is available for transactions. This measure helps maintain the stability of the market and protects users' funds.
satUSD adopts the OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) standard, enabling native cross-chain transfers without using wrapped assets. We have integrated with LayerZero, allowing satUSD to move seamlessly across supported networks while maintaining a consistent total supply.
The availability of satUSD bridging varies by network. Some chains allow direct bridging between multiple networks, while others may have restrictions.
Redemption allows users to exchange 1 satUSD for $1 USD worth of collateral. This feature ensures that satUSD maintains its value and provides users with a mechanism to utilize their satUSD effectively.
Yes, you can exchange satUSD for BTC or other assets. Simply go to the Satoshi Protocol app and navigate to the Redemption section.
Redemption begins with liquidating positions having the lowest Collateralization Ratio (CR). To avoid your position being redeemed by others, it’s important to maintain a higher CR than the average.
The Redemption fee is a dynamic fee that ranges from 0.5% to 5%, calculated based on market volatility.
