One of USDf’s distinguishing features lies in its dual minting mechanisms: Classic Mint and Innovative Mint. The Classic Mint allows users to deposit stable or non-stable assets, receiving USDf either at a 1:1 rate or through an overcollateralised process, depending on the asset’s volatility. The Innovative Mint, aimed at more experienced users, introduces fixed-term deposits and predefined price parameters, while safeguarding the protocol through liquidation thresholds. This layered approach accommodates varying risk appetites and strategies, expanding the token’s use cases across different user segments.

Peg stability for USDf is maintained through a blend of delta-neutral trading strategies and cross-market arbitrage opportunities. Falcon deploys user collateral into centralised and decentralised venues, while ensuring that price movements in collateral assets do not affect the dollar value of USDf. To further support its peg, users can engage in arbitrage when USDf trades above or below $1 on secondary markets, creating a market-driven feedback loop to anchor its value.

Falcon’s architecture positions USDf as a synthetic dollar designed not only for stability, but also for flexible utility and sustained performance in a range of DeFi contexts.

What is the USDf Token?

USDf plays a central role in the Falcon Finance ecosystem as its foundational unit of account and a synthetic dollar. USDf enables users to unlock stable, on-chain liquidity from a wide array of crypto assets without needing to sell them. This allows participants to maintain exposure to their underlying holdings while accessing dollar-denominated value that can be staked, restaked, or used in broader DeFi applications within and beyond the Falcon platform.

USDf functions as a stablecoin alternative with an overcollateralisation model that aims to ensure that every minted token is backed by collateral of equal or greater value.

USDf contributes to the overall sustainability and scalability of the Falcon protocol by supporting liquidity mechanisms and peg stability efforts. The system allows arbitrage opportunities that help maintain USDf’s dollar parity across markets, while redemptions and minting processes are designed to uphold collateral integrity and user trust. As such, USDf is more than just a synthetic stablecoin, it is the linchpin of Falcon Finance’s architecture, enabling a seamless flow of value and financial utility throughout the platform.

USDf Tokenomics

USDf’s tokenomics are built around a model of overcollateralisation, which is intended to require that each unit of USDf is backed by assets exceeding its issued value. Users can mint USDf by depositing either stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC) at a 1:1 ratio or non-stablecoin assets (e.g., BTC, ETH) with a risk-adjusted overcollateralisation ratio (OCR). These OCRs are dynamically calibrated based on factors such as asset volatility, liquidity, and market behavior. This approach mitigates systemic risk, enhances collateral security, and provides a buffer against market downturns. In the event of extreme price volatility, the protocol includes liquidation mechanisms to preserve the backing of USDf and uphold the integrity of the peg.
