# Stablecoin--ZUSD

## What is ZUSD? <a href="#what-is-usb" id="what-is-usb"></a>

Like the DAI in the MakerDAO protocol, ZUSD is a decentralized, asset-backed circulating token designed with a price using Oracle feeds, serving as a soft peg to the US dollar.

## How to Obtain ZUSD? <a href="#how-to-obtain-usb" id="how-to-obtain-usb"></a>

ZUSD is minted through the process of depositing collateral into the L-Vault. The protocol supports a variety of assets for minting ZUSD. Conversely, holding ZUSD grants users the ability to redeem their collateral from the Vault, with each ZUSD token representing $1 worth of collateral. This design effectively ties the value of ZUSD to the US dollar, ensuring its stability and reliability as a medium of exchange.

ZUSD is a rebasable, interest-bearing stablecoin, generating earnings through financing interest paid by holders of margin tokens.
