The First Killer Use-Case of CashTokens
ParityUSD is set to bring the full power of decentralized finance (DeFi) to Bitcoin Cash (BCH). As a decentralized stablecoin backed by BCH and built on CashTokens, ParityUSD fills critical gaps in the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem by offering both stability and borrowing opportunities for BCH holders. In addition, its innovative design enables yield generation through staking, unlocking new financial possibilities that have never been available on the BCH network.
Our vision is for ParityUSD to become the leading DeFi project on the Bitcoin Cash network by Total Value Locked (TVL). We are dedicated to driving its continued growth and long-term success, which, we believe, will significantly increase demand for Bitcoin Cash and expand the usage of the blockchain.
What is ParityUSD?
ParityUSD is a decentralized, BCH-backed stablecoin built on CashTokens. As a pioneering DeFi project on BCH network, ParityUSD offers stability for users looking to safeguard value in their savings, transact and participate in the DeFi space.
Issued through a trustless lending protocol with dynamic interest rates, ParityUSD allows borrowers to obtain liquidity and leverage on their BCH holdings without needing to sell. Users can borrow ParityUSD up to 90% of the dollar value of their Bitcoin Cash collateral.
At the core of ParityUSD is its stability mechanism, based on the LiquityV2 protocol, which ensures a reliable peg to the US Dollar. This stability is maintained through a direct redemption mechanism and dynamic interest rates. Both mechanisms are designed to balance supply and demand for the stablecoin to self-correct to $1 as stable equillibrium, even during volatile market conditions.
Backed directly by Bitcoin Cash, ParityUSD provides users with a robust way to preserve value while contributing to the liquidity and strength of the broader BCH ecosystem. ParityUSD serves as a building block for other DeFi protocols and applications to expand on, with the goal of advancing the BCH DeFi ecosystem as a whole.

Unlocking New Opportunities on BCH
ParityUSD will enable the following three big use cases, filling important gaps in the BCH Ecosystem :
Savings and Payments: With its strong peg to the US Dollar, ParityUSD is ideal for users looking to secure a stable value for their savings or engage in commerce or international transactions without concerns over exchange rate volatility. ParityUSD provides a reliable means to stabilize purchasing power and conduct smooth (dollar value) payments.
Borrowing for BCH Holders: ParityUSD empowers BCH holders to borrow against their assets through an over-collateralized loan. By locking up BCH as collateral, users can borrow ParityUSD while maintaining their exposure to BCH, providing flexibility to reinvest, earn yields, or manage other financial needs without selling their BCH.
Staking to earn Yield: Users can also stake their ParityUSD in the Stability Pool to earn yield in BCH. This staking mechanism offers BCH enthusiasts a method to generate passive income while helping stabilize the ParityUSD ecosystem. The ability to earn staking rewards fills a significant gap in the BCH network's DeFi capabilities.
