A lighter system, built for stability and prepared for v2.

This is the foundation USUAL needs for sustainable growth.

Join us for an AMA with Pierre on UIP-11.

This will be a focused session on the proposal and its impact on the next phase of the protocol.

We will walk through the changes and answer questions ahead of the UIP vote closing.

๐Ÿ“ข Liquidity Update Following UIP-11

The USD0 liquidity transition is now underway. This announcement summarizes each step exactly as it occurs.

๐Ÿ”น Curve Incentives Discontinued

Incentives on the USD0/USDC Curve pool have now ended.
The dApp immediately reflects this with a 0% APY, along with a migration option for users who want to move their position or read the full update.

For existing LPs:
- 20 Nov at 02:00 UTC: pending rewards stop accruing
- 23 Nov: claimable rewards update, following the standard validation period

๐Ÿ”น Transition Window โ€” Fluid Remains Temporarily

The Fluid USD0/USDC pool will continue operating during this migration phase.
It serves only as a temporary continuity option and is not a long-term venue.

๐Ÿ”น 9 December โ€” Uniswap v3 Incentives Begin

On 9 December 2025, the new Uniswap v3 USD0/USDC pool becomes the incentivized venue.
It will be available directly in the dApp, enabling deposits into the incentivized range with a smooth UX.

Fluid is deprecated on the same day, completing the transition.

Disinflation: Resetting Pace for Long-Term Stability

The disinflation update approved through UIP-11 is now being put into effect.

It slows issuance, simplifies system mechanics, and strengthens the foundation the protocol will build on moving forward.

Over the past year, USUAL expanded quickly. Demand grew, product direction became clearer, and fundamentals improved. But emissions were rising faster than usage, and incentives built for bootstrapping created persistent sell pressure.

Disinflation corrects that.
It shifts the protocol from high-velocity expansion to a more durable, sustainable structure.

The adjustment includes:

1. Daily emissions reduced by over 50%

2. Roughly 90% of farming-driven sell pressure removed

3. USL converted into a zero-coupon model

4. A fixed, finite supply of 3B USUAL

5. Cleaner USD0++ behaviour for predictable integrations

6. A trade-off from short-term activity toward long-term system health

These changes address a central community question around why strong fundamentals were not reflected structurally.

Disinflation provides the answer by tightening issuance, removing extraction loops, and allowing fundamentals to speak again.

This update also sets the conditions required for the protocolโ€™s next phase, where token design supports the product rather than defines it.

USUAL now moves into a more deliberate, stable operating mode.

Disinflation is the first step.

๐Ÿ“ข USD0a is now live โ€” Enhanced Yield on Usual

USD0a is now available in the app, allowing everyone to expose their USD0 to a new, more profitable delta-neutral strategy. Additionally, USD0a can be minted with other stablecoins including USDC.

Unlike USD0, whose collateral is exposed to short-term T-Bills, USD0a directs its collateral toward a hybrid strategy composed of regulated products and delta-neutral strategies offered by various regulated actors such as Superstate. The majority of the yield generated comes from arbitrage strategies between fixed-maturity futures and spot prices. This arbitrage creates yield opportunities that can beat the risk-free yield rate.

The experience is intentionally simple. You mint with USD0 or USDC, and the system follows the same mechanisms every time. When liquidity is available, redemptions in USD0 or USDC settle immediately. When activity is higher, withdrawals go through a short documented queue that maintains the order of the process without compromising the user experience.

The yield increases the token's value, reflecting the value generated each day.

USD0a exists autonomously within the ecosystem. It does not depend on USD0 in its fundamental flows; rather, it introduces a dedicated yield path for users seeking stability, both in returns and in mechanics. The valuation model is transparent, the behavior is predictable, and the yield source is clear from end to end.

You can mint USD0a now at: http://usual.money
