$USUAL is actively expanding its ecosystem through strategic partnerships and product developments:

Strategic Partnerships:

• LayerZero Integration: Usual has partnered with LayerZero to enable cross-chain operations, allowing USD0, USD0++, and USUAL tokens to function across multiple blockchain networks, including Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism. This integration aims to reduce transaction costs and increase transaction speeds, enhancing accessibility and efficiency for DeFi users.

• Collaboration with M^0: The partnership with M^0 has introduced a USD0/M^0 Curve Pool and a dedicated Morpho Vault, providing liquidity providers with opportunities to earn rewards and maximize returns.

• Alliance with Level: Usual’s collaboration with Level, a stablecoin protocol powered by restaked dollar tokens, offers USD0++ holders enhanced opportunities to maximize rewards while contributing to the stability and security of decentralized networks.

Product Developments:

• USD0++ Launch: Usual has introduced USD0++, a liquid staking token that allows users to lock their USD0 to access α-yield opportunities. USD0++ is fully exchangeable and tradable, providing liquidity while safeguarding the principal from market volatility.

• Governance Token Distribution: The USUAL governance token represents ownership of the protocol’s infrastructure and revenue. 90% of USUAL tokens are allocated to the community, with 10% designated for insiders (team, advisors, investors). The issuance of USUAL is directly tied to the protocol’s Total Value Locked (TVL) and income, creating scarcity and rewarding long-term holders.

These initiatives reflect Usual’s commitment to enhancing its DeFi ecosystem, providing users with diversified opportunities for engagement and rewards.
