EUSD is a Reserve Protocol RToken backed by a basket of yield-bearing Aave and Compound USDC/USDT lending positions, with RSR stakers as first-loss buffer. The static profile records its US Dollar peg mechanism as: Permissionless 1:1 mint and redemption against underlying collateral basket; RSR stakers absorb first losses in case of collateral default; basket rebalances via Dutch/batch auctions.

As of Oct 24, 2026, Pharos grades EUSD B- (65/100) on its Safety Score. Pharos's reviews record that admin controls such as a pause or an upgradeable contract exist, though no power to freeze a specific holder was found, and any holder can use its reviewed redemption route. That grade is in the Score's upper band, which does not rule out losses. The grade moves as reserve, redemption, peg and control evidence changes; the live Safety Score on this page shows the current reading.

Pharos records EUSD's reserves as of Jul 20, 2026 as 33.3% Static Aave USDC (saEthUSDC), 33.3% Wrapped Compound USDT (wcUSDTv3), and 33.3% Wrapped Compound USDC (wcUSDCv3). Reserve evidence: live reserve feed configured. Pharos classifies the backing as Crypto-Collateralized.

Based on tracked contract metadata and blacklist coverage, admin controls such as a global pause or an upgradeable contract are recorded, but the review found no active power to freeze or seize a specific holder's balance on material deployments.

Under the route Pharos reviewed on Aug 12, 2026, any holder can redeem EUSD for USDC and USDT. Redemption settles atomically on-chain. The reviewed terms charge no percentage redemption fee. Whether a given holder qualifies is set by the route's own terms, not by this summary.
