# Avant USD (avUSD)

**Peg:** US Dollar

**Backing:** Real-World Asset Backed

**Governance:** Centralized (CeFi)

**Status:** active

## Overview

avUSD is Avant's centralized dollar stablecoin, redeemable 1:1 for USDC and deployed into actively managed {{term:delta-neutral}}market-neutral{{/term}} strategies for yield — avUSD itself does not accrue yield, the staked savUSD does. Avant's avUSD is a USDC-backed base token for the Avant protocol, with deposited USDC routed into 0xPartners-managed market-neutral strategies and protected by a loss-absorption reserve. The token itself does not accrue yield: users stake avUSD into the separately tracked savUSD senior tranche when they want yield exposure, while avUSD remains the redeemable receipt for USDC exits at a 5-basis-point fee and one-to-seven-day settlement window. The institutional-unregulated {{term:custody}}custody{{/term}} and BVI domicile mean trust runs through Avant's operational integrity rather than a regulatory framework, which is why the backstop {{term:redemption}}redemption{{/term}} remains queue-based rather than a hard on-chain par floor. Five recorded depegs, including one at 321 basis points below peg, show the market can still stress the wrapper even when the current peg score is high.

## Collateral

avUSD is fully backed 1:1 by USDC and is the non-yield-bearing, 1:1-redeemable receipt for deposited USDC. The actively managed market-neutral strategies (basis trades, lending-rate arbitrage, yield trading, lending markets, liquidity provisioning, and private liquidity deals) generate yield that accrues to the staked savUSD senior tranche, with the avUSDx junior tranche and a dedicated avUSD Reserve Fund absorbing strategy losses ahead of savUSD; avUSD holders themselves receive no yield

## Peg Mechanism

1:1 redemption for USDC via Avant Protocol with a 0.05% redemption fee and 1–7 day settlement window; avUSD itself receives no yield, while staking into the separate savUSD token is the yield-bearing route
