Resolv
01Description

Delta-neutral synthetic dollar protocol. USR is a USD-pegged stablecoin backed by ETH/BTC spot collateral hedged with short perpetual futures positions; stUSR/wstUSR are the staked yield-bearing variants. RLP is a leveraged equity/insurance token that absorbs counterparty and basis risk in exchange for amplified returns — protecting USR holders from drawdowns.

05Prompt snippet
Use Resolv for a delta-neutral synthetic-dollar UX. Mint USR through the USR Request Manager: `USRRequestManager.requestMint(collateral, amount)` — collateral (USDC, ETH, etc.) is queued and minted USR is delivered after the protocol opens the matching short hedge; mints clear in minutes, not blocks. Stake into stUSR (rebasing) for funding-rate yield: `IERC20(USR).approve(stUSR, amount); stUSR.deposit(amount, receiver)`. wstUSR is the non-rebasing wrapper for DEX/LP composability. RLP is the equity tranche — its NAV moves with the protocol's hedge P&L and absorbs first losses, so it is NOT a stable; expose it only to advanced users with a clear risk warning. Redemption uses an off-chain request flow (`USRRequestManager.requestRedeem`) that may take hours to settle, depending on hedge unwind. Always pull current backing composition and RLP NAV from the protocol's read endpoints before showing balances.
06Gotchas
  • USR peg depends on perpetual funding rates and the integrity of off-chain CEX hedge venues — sustained negative funding or a CEX failure erodes the backing; surface this explicitly (similar risk profile to Ethena USDe).
  • Resolv had a security incident in early 2026 involving unauthorized minting of USR — protocol responded but the incident is a fresh data point; verify current contracts and any post-incident mitigations before integrating.
  • Mint and redemption are request-based (off-chain settlement of hedges) — they are NOT instant; build queue UI and never assume same-block atomicity.
  • stUSR is rebasing — DEX LPs and ERC-4626 wrappers must use wstUSR (the non-rebasing wrapper) to avoid balance-drift accounting bugs.
  • RLP holders take the FIRST loss in any hedging shortfall — in extreme funding regimes RLP can lose meaningful NAV; never present RLP yield without showing historical drawdowns.
  • Off-exchange settlement custodians (Fireblocks, Ceffu, Copper) hold the underlying spot — custodian failure is the dominant tail risk; show the latest reserve attestation.
  • US persons are restricted from the official staking flow via the frontend — geofence and surface the jurisdictional note.
  • Stablecoin-de-peg events 2023-2025 (USDC SVB, USDT brief de-peg) propagate into USR via USDC collateral; a future USDC issue is felt immediately.
