Anzen V2: USDz, RWA, and z-points
Introducing Anzen Finance V2
Anzen Finance is a DeFi protocol offering permissionless RWA rewards backed by institutional-grade Private Credit. V1 launched last year with the PCT and wPCT tokens with a single-collateral backed token. We’ve worked on upgrading our products, building for more composability within DeFi, and thus, have launched Anzen V2, with Percent as our selected RWA partner. Percent is a US-registered broker-dealer with a historical track record of over $1 Billion in private credit deals, managed by an executive team with industry experience at institutions including Blackrock, UBS, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan.
Famously, Blackrock entered the scene and created BUIDL, a tokenized fund offering US dollar yields. Tokens in BUIDL represented shares in the fund which invests in assets such as US Treasury bills. It was a huge step forward in the decentralized finance world and cemented the importance and need for tokenization. However, entry to investors stands at a hefty $5 million USD minimum, making the bar unnecessarily high for humble Defi yield farmers.
Private credit is a $7 trillion dollar market that generates stable and consistent returns over long periods of time, however, traditionally, only the wealthiest have been able to enjoy it, including keeping it exclusive to a very small circle with high minimums.
On April 10, we hit $1 million TVL on our first RWA pool. Interest in RWA and stable yields in both up and down markets has skyrocketed recently. The demand for diversified yield is here. But to truly decentralize finance, we have to level the playing field. Anzen V2 will offer the same access to the $7 trillion dollar Private Credit market and disrupt this old system allowing farmers from all walks of life to enjoy the freshest and sustainable crops all year round — a concept known as Perpetual Yield Farming.
Earn rewards and z-points with USDz
A new Zeitgeist requires new narratives. Starting today, USDz, Anzen’s RWA-backed stablecoin will go live on mainnet and Base, along with it, our comprehensive Season 1 z-points campaign.
What are z-points? They are awarded to active members within Anzen’s community. We’re tracking onchain transactions and social activity. If you’re using USDz, you’re earning points. When staked on mainnet, your sUSDz will earn rewards backed by tokenized real world assets.
Immediately at launch, USDz will be available to mint. Mint fast, it’s first come first serve for the first $1 million USD vault on Base
z-points
Anzen’s z-points campaign will spread across multiple seasons. Each season will reward different activities involving USDz and various communities. Anzen is collaborating closely with native and cross-chain communities for integration, and partner users will receive boosted points within each season.
wen?
We don’t plan to keep you all waiting. We’re committed to concluding our z-points campaign in 3 months, or when USDz supply reaches $1 billion, whichever comes first.
Notice:
Please note that Anzen’s Point system is specifically designed for long-term participants and users. If you intend to farm and dump an airdrop, this campaign is not for you. You will be disappointed.
We recommend not participating if your commitment is only for a month and if you have no interest in engaging with the ecosystem over a longer duration.
sUSDz
USDz is an RWA backed stablecoin, backed by institutional grade private credit.
sUSDz is a token that represents staked USDz. It accumulates value from USDz staking rewards sent by the protocol and backed by the protocol’s portfolio of private credit assets. Rewards are not paid directly to sUSDz holders directly but it accumulates within the contract until the user unstakes and withdraws. The staked USDz deposited in the contract is locked and not rehypothecated.
sUSDz is a reward-bearing token, similar to sUSDe or sDAI. Unlike rebasing tokens such as stETH, the price of sUSDz increases over time to reflect the value accrued within the staking smart contract.
Season 0 Rewards
With the launch of USDz, we have sunset our initial PCT token. All past and current holders will be rewarded season 1 z-points and whitelist access to minting USDz.
Season 1: Anzen 🤝Aerodrome
The first season will be focused on users providing liquidity into Anzen Mainnet & Aerodrome’s USDC/USDz Pools. Note that Aerodrome is on Base chain which means the gas will be significantly lower.
Base Cap Limit:
The minting of USDz is capped at $1 million USDC to start. We plan on carefully raising limits at launch.
The longer you participate in our season, the more z-points you receive. Please note that this cap may be subject to revision.
