They stay at par through deep, policy-controlled reserves, enabling **instant 1:1 swaps/redemptions** and powering **pre-funded,**[ **intent-based settlements**](/orbt-documentation/introduction/intent-based-settlements.md) across chains and protocols. {% endhint %} ### Overview **ORBT is a** [**Unified Liquidity Layer (ULL)**](/orbt-documentation/orbt-design/unified-liquidity-layer.md) **and modular stablecoin architecture** (on EVM) that provides a crypto native and scalable solution for **generating yield from pre-funded transactions**. It mints liquid, 1:1 tokens called [**0xAssets**](/orbt-documentation/orbt-design/0xassets.md) (e.g., 0xUSD, 0xBTC, 0xETH) that **solve fragmented liquidity** by letting value move simply **across any chain and settle anywhere** in the TradFi & DeFi ecosystem. [**0xAssets**](/orbt-documentation/orbt-design/0xassets.md) are designed to be fully backed and easy to compose across DeFi. They stay at par through a tight mix of **liquid reserves** and **policy controls** so [redemptions](/orbt-documentation/orbt-design/0xusd/redemption-rate-and-shortfall-socialization.md) are fast and predictable. ORBT offers [**s0xAssets**](/orbt-documentation/protocol-mechanics/savings-rate.md#how-it-works-s0xassets-your-savings-token) - the savings versions of 0xAssets. When users hold s0xAssets, the protocol routes the treasury into **pre-funded,**[ **intent-based settlements**](/orbt-documentation/orbt-design/pocket/pocket-lifecycle-and-flows/intent-based-settlement-instant.md)**.** These are real transaction flows that earn [**allocator**](/orbt-documentation/orbt-design/allocator.md) **fees and routing margins**. ORBT aggregates that revenue and distributes it back to s0xAsset holders as native yield. [**Peg stability**](/orbt-documentation/orbt-design/0xusd/peg-mechanics-primary-and-secondary-paths.md) is supported by: * **High liquid backing** to honor swaps and redemptions at 1:1. * Liquid reserves that earn from native validation services and remain **100% liquid** at all times. * **Monetization via pre-funded settlements**, which continuously refills protocol revenues and strengthens the peg over time. * **On-chain transparency and fast access**, so liquidity returns to the pool within blocks defined by policy controlled allocations, keeping the system responsive under load. {% hint style="info" %} * Website: [https://orbt.xyz](https://orbt.xyz/) * Telegram: * Discord: * Twitter: {% endhint %}
How to Acquire 0xUSD Users currently have several options to acquire 0xUSD: * **Permissionless Swap for 0xUSD:** Access external DEX or AMM pools to swap into or out of [0xUSD](/orbt-documentation/orbt-design/0xusd.md) using any supported assets (such as USDT or USDC). Once liquid markets are available, anyone can acquire 0xUSD by trading on supported exchanges without permission. * **Direct Mint of 0xUSD:** Deposit accepted reserve assets (e.g. USDC, USDT or other approved collateral) into the ORBT Protocol to mint 0xUSD 1:1.\ \&#xNAN;***Note:*** Direct minting may be subject to certain criteria or whitelisting (e.g. KYC/KYB checks for approved market-making counterparties), as outlined in the supplemental 0xUSD [Terms and Conditions](/orbt-documentation/resources/0xassets-terms-and-conditions.md). * **Redemption of 0xUSD:** 0xUSD can be swapped on DEXs with any supported assets or via the [Unified Collateral Engine(UCE)](/orbt-documentation/orbt-design/uce.md), or redeemed via the UCE for the underlying assets from the protocol’s reserves; this mechanism allows converting 0xUSD back into base assets (like USDC/USDT) at minimal slippage.
How to save using 0xUSD One of ORBT’s core advantages is enabling users to earn a **sustainable yield** on their dollar assets. Here’s how you can earn savings rate on 0xUSD (based on current blended strategy returns): * [**Buy s0xUSD**](/orbt-documentation/user-flow-and-guides/how-to-buy-s0xasset.md)**:** By **supplying** your 0xUSD in the ORBT savings module and holding **s0xUSD**, you gain access to the protocol’s curated strategies. The yield from ORBT’s Pre-Funded Settlements deployments is distributed to stakers as rewards, creating a steady savings rate. Your staked 0xUSD remains fully backed and continues to track the U.S. dollar, accruing rewards over time. * [**Reedem s0xUSD**](/orbt-documentation/user-flow-and-guides/how-to-sell-s0xassets.md)**:** You can **reedem** at any time to withdraw your 0xUSD **plus the accumulated yield.** By combining a stable USD peg with transparent, diversified yield generation, ORBT aims to offer a crypto-native dollar that not only **holds its value** but also **works for you** – growing over time through safe, scalable strategies. With 0xUSD, users no longer have to choose between stability and yield; the ORBT protocol delivers both in a single, composable asset designed for the future of decentralized finance.
--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.orbt.xyz/orbt-documentation/introduction/readme.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
