Elixir launches "fully decentralized" synthetic dollar to challenge USDe

On July 31, TheBlock reported that the modular DPoS network Elixir launched a "fully decentralized" synthetic dollar deUSD, aiming to challenge Ethena's USDe. deUSD uses stETH as collateral to short Ethereum with a delta-neutral position, ensuring stability and providing additional returns.

Elixir claims that deUSD has the ability to remain stable during periods of extreme negative funding, has $1 billion in liquidity to support new yield tokens, and is expected to launch the mainnet by September.
