XUSD serves as a revolutionary USD-pegged stablecoin aggregator within the Babelfish protocol ecosystem. Designed as a "trustless stablecoin translation device," it enables seamless 1:1 conversions between multiple stablecoins across Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), and Rootstock networks via Sovryn's cross-chain bridges.
How XUSD Works: Multi-Chain Stablecoin Conversion
XUSD operates through smart contract technology that maintains a fixed 1:1 peg with the US dollar while aggregating liquidity from these supported stablecoins:
- DLLR (Rootstock-native)
- DOC (Rootstock-native)
- DAI (Ethereum/BSC)
- USDT (Ethereum/BSC)
- USDC (Ethereum/BSC)

Key Advantages of XUSD
Risk Mitigation Strategy
By diversifying across multiple stablecoins rather than relying solely on USDT or USDC (which dominate 90% of the stablecoin market), XUSD reduces systemic risk exposure. This decentralized approach protects users against potential single-point failures in the stablecoin ecosystem.
Enhanced Liquidity Pooling
Unlike platforms that create separate pools for each stablecoin (leading to fragmented liquidity), XUSD aggregates all supported stablecoins into a single liquidity pool. This creates:
- Lower slippage in trades
- More efficient margin trading
- Healthier lending/borrowing markets
- Improved capital efficiency
Cross-Chain Flexibility
Users can seamlessly bridge assets between networks:
- Convert Ethereum/BSC stablecoins → XUSD on Rootstock
- Convert XUSD → Any supported stablecoin on destination chains
- Move value across DeFi ecosystems without traditional intermediaries
