Mint & redeem

From fiat to USAD, and back.

Four steps: verify, deposit, mint, redeem. Reserves back every minute, attestations publish every day.

The flow

Four steps. No intermediaries you don't trust.

  1. 01

    1. Verify

    Institutions complete KYB, individuals complete KYC. Onboarding typically clears in 5 business days.

  2. 02

    2. Deposit

    Send USD via wire, SWIFT, or approved rail. Lydia's issuer receives and records the deposit against your account.

  3. 03

    3. Mint

    Lydia mints an equivalent USAD supply and sends it to your registered wallet on Lydia Rollup, Base, or Solana.

  4. 04

    4. Transact or redeem

    Spend, send, and settle USAD globally. When you're done, return USAD to the issuer address and receive USD back.

What backs it

1:1 asset-backed, every minute of every day.

Reserves are held in US Treasury bills, US government bonds, cash at regulated banks, and a small allocation to precious metals and gemstones for diversification. Independent attestations publish monthly.

Infrastructure

Multichain by design, not by accident.

Settlement on Lydia Rollup for compliance and attestations. Base for DeFi-native liquidity. Solana for high-throughput payments. Bridges keep supply canonical across networks.
