Introduction

Milkomeda Djed Osiris is a stablecoin launched on the Milkomeda EVM sidechain of Cardano in April 2023. It is a fully immutable and decentralized smart contract, ensuring autonomy and protection from outside interference. Furthermore, by being based on version O (Osiris) of the Djed Stablecoin Protocol, it features transaction limits and the possibility to redeem stablecoins and reversecoins simultaneously, even when the reserve ratio is below the minimum threshold. This reduces friction and enhances user experience. Through the Milkomeda bridge, Djed Osiris expands Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem, providing reliable stability for users.
