Standard Protocol

Skip the buzzwords and get to work. Open your wallet, choose a supported chain, and decide what you want your stable balance to do—pay vendors, hedge market swings, or automate recurring payouts. In Standard, you create stability by opening a collateralized vault: deposit approved assets, set your target mint amount, and issue the network’s stable asset. Your vault is represented as an NFT you can manage or transfer, giving you portable control across networks. There’s no centralized reserve; value is created by overcollateralized debt you manage directly. Set ratio alerts, enable auto-repay from incoming receipts, and schedule top-ups to keep risk in check. When conditions change, add collateral, reduce debt, or close the position on your terms.

Need liquidity or rebalancing? Use the cross-network exchange to swap, bridge, and route orders through multiple pools with minimal slippage. Portfolio managers can set policies that sweep excess yield into debt repayment, ladder stable holdings across chains, or establish hedge buckets for volatile inflows. Liquidity providers can seed pools, choose fee tiers, and track PnL with per-pool and cross-chain analytics. Withdraw in one click; LP shares and rewards update continuously. For day-to-day ops, batch transactions to cut gas overhead and let the router find best execution while you focus on treasury targets.

Rules aren’t set by a central desk—they’re set by you and other participants. Join governance to propose new collateral types, tune stability fees, or update risk parameters. Stake for voting power, delegate to specialists, and simulate proposal outcomes before final votes. Market data comes from community-run price feeds: operate a reporter, bond stake, and earn rewards for timely, accurate submissions. From your dashboard, subscribe to specific feeds, set action triggers, and wire them into automations—rebalancing bots, liquidation guards, margin alarms, and repayment schedules.

Building on top is straightforward. Use the SDK and contract templates to mint, burn, and settle positions from your dApp with a few function calls. Add checkout flows that accept the stable asset, issue on-chain invoices, or pay contributors on a fixed cadence. Pull audited price snapshots through the oracle API, and use the messaging layer to sync positions and balances across networks. Local tooling includes a forkable testnet, scenario scripts, and integration examples to speed up QA. Ship to mainnet with role-scoped permissions, monitoring webhooks, and health checks so you can react to market events without manual babysitting.
