Recently, several USD stablecoins have consecutively de-pegged, shaking DeFi users' deep trust in the stablecoin sector and placing the core promise of "stability" in an unprecedentedly fragile position. The reasons behind these de-pegging events are thought-provoking and highlight the key advantages of USDD in standing firm during this round of market volatility.
Analysis of De-pegging Reasons
Clearing away the market chaos reveals clear patterns. Beneath the glamorous exterior of these stablecoins, they often fall into three major dilemmas, making long-term development difficult:
- Blindly Pursuing High Returns
Some stablecoins use complex circular lending strategies to amplify returns. While such models may be tempting in the short term, they lack long-term sustainability.
- Lack of Active Management
Some teams completely entrust their token reserves to third-party fund management institutions, lacking active management, and thus fail to timely mitigate potential risks.
- Severe Lack of Transparency
The debt repayment capability of tokens lacks on-chain data support, making it easy to trigger market panic due to small redemptions. Once trust collapses, it is hard to rebuild.
The lessons from this de-pegging wave provide a clear warning: stability cannot be disguised; it must be built on a foundation of transparency and solidity, with no shortcuts available.
Why Did USDD Not De-peg?
The design philosophy of USDD 2.0 is very clear: only transparent and verifiable security mechanisms—rather than hollow promises—can win user trust. Every link in its architecture is dedicated to providing clear, real-time proof of the protocol's security and stability.
1. Robust De-leveraging Return Strategy
USDD's Smart Allocator adopts a robust and sustainable investment strategy, focusing on long-term stable returns rather than blindly chasing high-risk leverage.
In the capital deployment process, USDD employs a batch investment strategy, choosing to collaborate with platforms that have undergone strict screening and auditing, always maintaining high liquidity and security. The USDD and JUST DAO teams monitor and dynamically adjust every link in real-time, continuously conducting internal audits and strategy optimization.
Additionally, through independent third-party audits, fully on-chain operations, and a completely transparent mechanism, USDD further consolidates its reliability, allowing users to track fund allocation, return status, and key data at any time.
2. Self-Management, No Outsourcing
All investment decisions and operations are independently executed by the USDD and JUST DAO internal teams, without relying on any external fund management institutions.
All transaction hashes, holdings, and return data are fully on-chain and publicly verifiable. Users do not need to trust any verbal promises and can independently verify every transaction.

3. Completely Transparent Token System
All core data is fully public and can be checked with one click—whether ordinary users or professional analysts can view all real data of USDD's collateral holdings, fund flows, etc., at any time.
· Contract Address: https://docs.usdd.io/introduction/collateral-asset-contract-addresses
All USDD collateral assets are stored in publicly auditable smart contracts. Users can verify the fund status in the contract address at any time through a blockchain explorer, ensuring the safety and integrity of the collateral assets.
· Data Page: https://usdd.io/data
The USDD data page displays key indicators such as collateral value and the debt status of various collateral assets in real-time.
· Treasury Dashboard: https://usdd.io/treasury
This dashboard tracks key financial indicators, including income, expenditure, net profit, and fund balance, and is updated quarterly to ensure users can regularly monitor the protocol's growth and financial health.
Pushing data transparency to such an extent indicates that USDD views business transparency as a serious commitment to users, rather than a temporary response to market trends.
4. Security Well-Validated
USDD has successfully passed five independent audits conducted by top industry auditing firms such as ChainSecurity and Certik. The audit scope covers USDD's infrastructure, including codebase, smart contracts, token integration, and application mechanisms.
All audit results show that USDD performs excellently in key areas such as asset security, functional accuracy, and permission management, with no significant vulnerabilities that could lead to fund loss or system collapse.
USDD has also received a CertiK Skynet security score of 87.5 and an AA rating.

Security Optimization is Never-Ending
In January 2025, USDD achieved an upgrade from the algorithmic model (USDDOLD) to USDD 2.0, transforming into a stablecoin with the following characteristics:
· Over-collateralized
· Decentralized, controlled by users
· Fully on-chain operation
· Non-freezable, tamper-proof
· Self-sufficient ecological economy
As other stablecoins frequently fall into trust crises, USDD continuously strengthens its security and stability through rapid adjustments and ongoing optimizations, effectively safeguarding user assets.
In the future, the USDD team will continue to optimize the protocol, ensuring it maintains strong risk resistance and user trust in an ever-changing market.
