Verified USD (USDV)

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what’s next for @solomon_labs and $USDv, so I wanted to share a bit of perspective now that I’m getting settled in as CMO.

We have an exciting sequence of updates coming over the next couple of months.

We’ve been working across the team to map out the rollout of USDv and the broader Solomon ecosystem. There’s an incredible amount happening behind the scenes to make sure we build this the right way.

We’ve completed one audit and are now working through the final report. We’re also commissioning a second independent audit, not because we have to, but because USDv is intended to become infrastructure.

It will touch a wide range of financial surfaces, and that deserves an equally high standard of confidence for users, builders, and partners.

The next weeks will have a cadence of product releases, ecosystem updates, partnership announcements, integrations, and community initiatives.

We’re also preparing several community programs for both USDv users and solana:SoLo

I’m VERY excited to announce I’m joining @solomon_labs as CMO!

There have been a few clear winners going into the next cycle: RWAs, perps, stablecoins.

There is one jarring problem with stables today: holders put up all the risk, issuers get all the upside. More than $10 BILLION of it annually.

Every stablecoin is effectively a loan. The holder is the lender. The issuer keeps the interest.

If you want any upside, it means staking, wrapping, trusting 5 smart contracts.

Solomon’s stablecoin $USDv, soon to launch publicly, flips this on its head: a single user opt-in means earning by default… indefinitely.

Using any other stable is leaving money on the table, and you don’t need to change how you behave onchain.

Earn:

• In your wallet
• In an LP
• In a lending market
• As idle liquidity

The big picture with Solomon is more than just USDv. USDv is a showcase of an engine that can power any asset and allow users to route their rewards.

In a future state, this COULD look like:

• Hold a tokenized stock in wallet 1
• Receive a dividend to wallet 2
• Choose to receive the dividend in $ANSEM, $CARDS, $SOL or any other currency

Excited to be building this future on @solana as part of the @MetaDAOProject ecosystem. The $SOLO token represents ownership onchain in this journey, which means no token games or gimmicks. A real breath of fresh air for me.

A big thanks to @oxranga and team for the opportunity.

If you made it this far, be sure to give @solomon_labs a follow!
