What are the fees?

Supply fees can vary per vault. Presently, all vaults have an annual fee of 3%

These supply fees are fixed, and will not change. To change supply fees, vaults must be deprecated & redeployed with a new fee rate. Read more about deprecation.

What collateral can I use?

xBacked is multi-collateral. Currently, a range of assets are available including ALGO, goBTC, goETH, GOLD$ and more. See a full list including vault parameters for each . In the further future, the team and community will assess other options.

How are new collateral types integrated?

The following factors are considered when selecting new collateral types for xBacked

  • On Chain liquidity; will liquidations cause a cascading crash if there's too much debt for this new collateral type? Will liquidators be able to sell liquidated collateral at a favorable price? .

  • Bridge risk; if the asset is bridged, what is the risk of accepting it? How much of this asset should be backing xUSD? .

  • Community demand; will our users actually find this introduction valuable?

  • Price feeds; can we get or create reliable price feeds for this asset?

What is the minimum collateral ratio?

What is the minimum amount of xUsd required to open a vault?

$100 xUsd, but could vary per vault and change over time.

Is xBacked a DAO?

Yes, we are working towards a fully decentralized governance model.

xBacked does not natively allow users to stake Algos for governance. Instead, we have integrated Liquid Staking assets like gAlgo from and mAlgo from . We are focused on being the best stablecoin, not liquid staking. Leveraging composability, we can still allow users to participate in governance & xBacked.

This varies per vault but could be as low as 110% depending on the collateral type.
