L1 blockchain Somnia announces the launch of its ecosystem stablecoin, USDso
Somnia, an L1 blockchain, has announced the launch of its ecosystem stablecoin USDso, issued and operated by the decentralized stablecoin protocol Frax Finance based on the frxUSD architecture. USDso employs an over-collateralized model and is backed by reserves including U.S. Treasury securities, enabling minting at a 1:1 ratio against assets such as USDC. Its yield distribution mechanism channels reserve yields back into the ecosystem—90% allocated to DeFi protocols and 10% reserved for an insurance fund. This stablecoin is designed to serve high-frequency trading, DeFi, and on-chain protocol use cases.
