Introduction

Overview

Digital Standard Unit is a community owned 'de-central bank' that issues a decentralised stablecoin. The protocol mints & redeems a stablecoin backed by a reserve asset and is governed by a separate governance token.

Features

Using simple mechanism Digital Standard Unit is able to achieve a number of unique properties:

  • Low Dependencies - Digital Standard Unit has few depenencies, reducing protocol risk.
  • Backed - DSU is 100% backed by low risk collateral.
  • Future-proof - DSU's ethos is un-governance however the protocol can be upgraded to respond to new risks.
  • Community Owned - Protocols that integrate DSU are able to participate in governance
  • Composable - Both DSU & ESS are fully ERC-20 compliant and composable into other platforms.

Tokens

The Empty Set protocol has two tokens:

⊙ Digital Standard Unit (DSU)

DSU is the stablecoin the protocol issues. This token's purpose is to serve as an analogue to other liability backed stablecoins while offering greater decentralisation.

∅ Empty Set Share (ESS)

ESS is the protocol's governance token. It can be used to vote or propose governance actions within the protocol.
