About RealFi
RealFi is a stablecoin ecosystem designed to connect on-chain capital with real-world credit markets. Its core goal is to make stablecoin capital more productive by directing it toward diversified real-world financial assets rather than relying primarily on speculative crypto activity.
The ecosystem uses a dual-token model that separates capital stability from return generation:
USDrf is the foundational, USD-denominated stablecoin. It is designed for capital stability, liquidity, trading, and everyday digital transactions. USDrf is backed 1:1 by a reserve portfolio that includes U.S. Treasury bills, tokenized money market funds, liquid floating-rate credit, and short-tenor senior-secured private credit. A dedicated liquidity buffer is intended to support expected and stressed redemptions without requiring the sale of private assets.
sUSDrf is the staked, non-rebasing, return-bearing token. Eligible users who stake USDrf receive sUSDrf, which provides exposure to the performance, positive or negative, of an actively managed portfolio of real-world assets. Its value appreciates through weekly staking epochs aligned with borrower repayment schedules, while remaining usable within DeFi for trading and collateral purposes.
A key feature of the architecture is the seniority and loss-absorption structure. USDrf is positioned as the most senior and liquid asset, while sUSDrf acts as a subordinated layer designed to absorb portfolio losses. Protocol first-loss reserves absorb losses initially, followed by sUSDrf if losses exceed those reserves. Consequently, the protection available to USDrf depends on the size of the protocol reserves and the staked pool at the time of a loss.
Rather than changing individual USDrf balances through rebasing, losses are reflected through the redemption rate of sUSDrf. The protocol can therefore maintain a fixed USDrf structure while allowing the staked token to reflect portfolio performance. The sUSDrf redemption rate can generally be calculated from publicly available on-chain data outside designated return-diffusion periods.
RealFi is intended for eligible stablecoin holders in permitted jurisdictions , including institutional allocators, corporate treasuries, DeFi protocols, and individual Web3 users. The project positions itself as infrastructure connecting traditional financial markets with blockchain-based liquidity and transparency.
USDrf and sUSDrf are available only to eligible users in permitted jurisdictions. At launch, they are restricted in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and other restricted jurisdictions, under continuing review. RFG is not yet available. The protocol remains under active development, and features, timelines, and parameters may change. Neither USDrf nor sUSDrf is a bank deposit or insured by any government agency or deposit-protection scheme. Both carry risks, including the potential loss of some or all value, and sUSDrf holders bear losses ahead of USDrf holders once protocol reserves are exhausted.
Overall, our model can be summarized as stablecoin liquidity at the base layer, real-world asset returns at the staked layer, and a defined loss-absorption hierarchy between the two.
