Cygnus Finance
Announcements
Cygnus Finance is the first native stablecoin protocol on the Base chain, backed by short-term U.S. Treasury Bills. It allows users to mint interest-bearing stablecoin cgUSD with multi-chain assets and lets users enjoy pure U.S. Treasury interest returns through the rebase mechanism. Cygnus Finance consistently supports a 1:1 redemption ratio of cgUSD to USDC.
Cygnus Finance is a wholly-owned subsidiary project of the ARKS Labs Foundation, aiming to bring risk-free fixed-income opportunities to the on-chain world, enhance the base yield of on-chain stablecoins, and offer on-chain users a fixed-income product with a flexible redemption experience akin to a money market fund. Thanks to the high performance and low transaction costs of the Base chain, ARKS Labs Foundation is planning to build an interest rate swap market around cgUSD.
About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world's largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.
