# 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.

## Where do the earnings come from? <a href="#where-do-the-earnings-come-from" id="where-do-the-earnings-come-from"></a>

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.zoofi.io/berachain-eco/liquidity-vault-l-vault/stablecoin-zusd.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
