It's not exactly new, but a lot of people are sleeping on what @global_dollar offers, especially in the domain of Solana DeFi.
Here's what it is, and why you should not be afraid of using it 👇
The #1 misconception I see from people I talk to daily on Solana is that $USDG is some shady back alley sus pseudoalgostable dollar and whatnot - which couldn't be further from the truth.
$USDG is safe.
It's issued by Paxos SG.
It's also backed by Kraken, Robinhood.
1:1 backed
We often hear the word "composability"
Sounds really tough, like "neural networks" or "IPFS"
But actually it's really simple.
Composability = Easy to integrate
Easy to bridge around.
Easy to use in DeFi.
Easy to add to products.
Easy to redeem for actual USD to bank.
$USDG.
So, why this one?
From their whitepaper:
- They've got experience (prior PYUSD issuance experience), they're not going anywhere
- Great partners
- Solana centric and already have quite a few implementations on Kamino and Loopscale (getting to this in a minute)
It's legit.
So here's how I use it, two options that stand out for me, and are actually intertwined:
- Kamino borrowing
- Yeet USDG into @LoopscaleLabs vault
It's very simple and you can do it in 4 clicks.
Link below and full tutorial:
1. Have cbbtc and/or jitosol available on Main Market on Kamino
2. Deposit cbbtc, borrow USDG
3. Register on Loopscale:
4. Use the $USDG to earn 6% yield on it.
We're done!
This strategy allows for a lot of Loopscale points, with big LTV margins!
Curious for more? Check out my TG below
And also, to mention the first tweet's photo, since no one likes a clickbait - the Syrup Market on @KaminoFinance allows for a pure 11% on USDG deposited there.
Can't borrow against them, but sure can use the yield.
lovely!
