RUSD Architecture

The RUSD (Real-World USD) architecture is designed to create a stable and efficient ecosystem for Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization, collateralization, and yield generation. Built on Novastro’s platform, RUSD leverages blockchain infrastructure, market-making strategies, and stability mechanisms to maintain a secure and scalable financial system.

1. Collateral System

The collateral system underpins the stability and value of RUSD by ensuring every issued token is backed by real-world assets.

a) Tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs)

  • RWAs, such as real estate, commodities, corporate bonds, and infrastructure projects, are tokenized through Novastro’s platform.

  • These tokenized assets become on-chain representations of their real-world counterparts, allowing for fractional ownership and seamless digital transactions.

b) Collateral Pool Formation

  • The tokenized assets are pooled together as collateral to back RUSD issuance.

  • A diversified asset mix ensures risk mitigation, reducing exposure to volatility from any single asset class.

c) Collateralization Formula

To ensure proper collateral backing, the system follows a well-defined collateralization formula:

CR=∑(Vi×qi)Total RUSD SupplyCR = \frac{\sum(Vᵢ × qᵢ)}{\text{Total RUSD Supply}}CR=Total RUSD Supply∑(Vi​×qi​)​

Where:

  • Vᵢ = Value of collateral asset i

  • qᵢ = Quantity of collateral asset i

  • Total RUSD Supply = Total amount of RUSD in circulation

A higher CR ensures greater stability, while automated mechanisms maintain the ratio at an optimal level.


2. RUSD Core Components

The RUSD ecosystem is built around three key pillars: minting, market-making, and stability enforcement.

a) Minting Mechanism

  • New RUSD tokens are minted based on the real-time value of collateralized assets.

  • The minting process is controlled through smart contracts to ensure transparency and prevent over-issuance.

b) Stablecoin Utility

  • RUSD functions as a stable transaction currency within the Novastro ecosystem.

  • Users can trade, transfer, and use RUSD in DeFi applications without worrying about excessive volatility.

c) Market Making & Liquidity

  • Ensures liquidity in both primary and secondary markets.

  • Automated market-making algorithms dynamically adjust supply and demand.

  • Liquidity providers (LPs) are incentivized to maintain a healthy RUSD market.

d) Price Oracles for Accurate Valuation

  • Decentralized price oracles feed real-time data about collateral assets.

  • Oracles source data from multiple providers to ensure accuracy and avoid manipulation.

  • Continuous valuation helps maintain an optimal collateralization ratio.


3. Stability Mechanisms

Maintaining price stability and ensuring RUSD remains fully backed are key priorities.

a) Continuous Monitoring of Collateralization Ratio (CR)

  • The Collateralization Ratio (CR) is constantly tracked to ensure RUSD remains sufficiently backed.

  • When CR drops below the threshold, corrective actions are triggered.

b) Automatic Adjustments for Stability

  • If CR falls, the system can:

    • Introduce additional collateral to balance the reserves.

    • Adjust RUSD supply by temporarily restricting minting or burning excess supply.

  • These mechanisms prevent undercollateralization risks and protect RUSD's stability.

c) Real-Time Data from Oracles

  • On-chain oracles provide continuous updates on asset values.

  • This data enables timely rebalancing of the collateral pool.


4. Yield Generation

RUSD holders can earn passive income through multiple yield-generating mechanisms.

a) Sources of Yield

RUSD generates yield from:

  1. Staking RUSD: Users can lock RUSD to earn staking rewards.

  2. Lending Tokenized Assets: Tokenized RWAs can be lent out to borrowers, generating interest.

  3. Revenue Sharing from Infrastructure Projects: A portion of revenue from real-world projects backing RUSD is distributed to holders.

b) Yield Calculation

The yield (Y) for RUSD holders is calculated as:

Y=(Total Annual EarningsAsset Value)×100%Y = \left( \frac{\text{Total Annual Earnings}}{\text{Asset Value}} \right) × 100\%Y=(Asset ValueTotal Annual Earnings​)×100%

c) Pro-Rata Distribution

  • Earnings are distributed proportionally based on individual holdings.

  • The more RUSD a user holds, the higher their passive income potential.


5. Seamless Integration

RUSD is fully integrated with various Novastro ecosystem components to enhance functionality and accessibility.

a) Trading Platform Integration

  • RUSD connects with decentralized and centralized trading platforms to enable seamless trading.

  • This ensures secondary market liquidity and adoption across the broader crypto economy.

b) Digital Twin Container (DTC) Integration

  • RUSD interfaces with the Digital Twin Container (DTC) for real-world asset synchronization.

  • This ensures collateral values are updated in real time, maintaining an accurate representation of the underlying assets.

c) Layer 2 Scalability via Movement Labs

  • RUSD operates on a Layer 2 solution within Movement Labs, ensuring:

    • High-speed transactions

    • Low gas fees

    • Scalability for mass adoption

  • Movement Labs enhances security and efficiency for RUSD transactions.


Key Benefits of RUSD Architecture

1. Fully Collateralized Stability

  • RUSD is backed by diverse RWAs, ensuring low volatility.

  • Collateralization ratio enforcement prevents underfunding risks.

2. Transparent & Decentralized

  • On-chain smart contracts govern all minting, burning, and collateralization.

  • Oracles provide real-time valuation, ensuring fair and transparent operations.

3. Passive Income Opportunities

  • Users earn staking rewards, lending interest, and revenue-sharing incentives.

  • Yield distribution is automated and pro-rata based.

4. Market Liquidity & Scalability

  • Market-making mechanisms ensure constant liquidity.

  • Layer 2 implementation provides fast and gas-efficient transactions.

5. Regulatory & Compliance-Ready

  • RUSD follows best practices in compliance for RWA tokenization.

  • SPV (Special Purpose Vehicles) and legal frameworks ensure regulatory adherence.
