Balanced Dollar

Overview

The Balanced Dollar (bnUSD) is a decentralised, cross-chain stablecoin that tracks the price of 1 USD. It uses cryptocurrency as collateral to guarantee its value, with support for assets from a variety of blockchains. bnUSD is not experimental or algorithmic: it's over-collateralised, so the total supply cannot exceed the value that backs it.
