zkUSD Dollar (zkUSD) static profile: governance model Centralized (CeFi); backing model Crypto-Collateralized; peg US Dollar.
- Collateral
- Reserve assets, counterparties, and custody arrangements are not established by a current primary source; the deployed zkUSD token contract does not by itself prove collateralization.

- Verified portal code accepts owner-configured stable tokens, transfers deposits to a treasury, and mints a configured return token through a vesting flow. That code establishes an issuer-controlled deposit-and-mint path, but not 1:1 USDC redemption, current reserve coverage, or a peg-maintenance mechanism.
- Jurisdiction
- Not disclosed in the static profile.
- Proof of reserves
- No proof-of-reserves entry in the static profile.
