USDX is the US Dollar stablecoin native to the Kava ecosystem. The Kava ecosystem is composed of the Kava chain and associated Kava protocol that were developed using the Cosmos Tendermint Software Development Kit (SDK). Leveraging the interoperability of the Cosmos ecosystem, Kava was designed to be a hub for decentralised finance (DeFi). USDX was designed to be the native stablecoin within that ecosystem.
USDX can be minted by supplying cryptocurrency as collateral to the Kava Mint protocol. All cryptocurrency collateral must be overcollateralised. According to the Kava blog, this allows users to leverage existing cryptocurrency assets and free up liquidity while also protecting the Kava protocol. USDX is required when a user wishes to access the cryptocurrencies used as collateral. As described by Kava, USDX’s peg to $1 is ‘loose’. By design, there is no requirement for it to remain at $1. Instead, USDX’s peg is controlled by a range of market factors including increasing and decreasing APY rates, KAVA token incentives, and Kava’s Lending auction arbitrage. Some of these factors are heavily influenced by KAVA token holders, who are incentivised to keep the USDX peg as close to $1 as possible. The more stable USDX is, the more often the stablecoin will be used and, therefore, the less likely the KAVA token will be needed to stabilise prices. The KAVA token can be used as a lender of last resort if USDX collateral falls below requirements. USDX can be used for a wide range of applications within the KAVA ecosystem including decentralised loans, hedging, and earning further rewards.
