Redeeming DUSD

Redeeming DUSD is the process of returning your DUSD to the StandX system in exchange for base assets (e.g., USDT). This allows you to exit the DUSD ecosystem while reclaiming your original collateral.

Key highlights:

  • 1:1 Conversion Before Fees: Each DUSD is redeemable for base assets (e.g., USDT), minus applicable protocol fees.
  • Flexible Redemption: You can redeem DUSD regardless of where you originally acquired it—whether minted, purchased from a DEX/CEX, or received from another user.
  • Secure and Transparent: The process is fully automated and powered by smart contracts to guarantee the safety and accuracy of your redemption.

Redemption Steps

Redeeming DUSD is easy and can be completed in just a few steps:

1. Order Creation and Signing

Users generate a transaction specifying:

  • Amount of DUSD to redeem
  • Desired collateral asset to receive

2. Order Validation

  • The StandX server validates:
    • User’s DUSD balance
    • Order signature authenticity
  • While StandX can reject orders based on these conditions, it cannot modify the signed order parameters

3. Lock time

There is 7 days lock time for redemption, while this is a very common setup in most crypto protocols, the main reason for StandX is the system needs time to quit the hedging positions and anti-hack cyber security consideration.

4. Settlement Completion

  • The protocol’s reserve management system adjusts positions to maintain optimal collateral ratios
  • Users receive confirmation of successful redemption
  • Transaction details are verifiable on-chain

Key Requirements & Notices

To ensure a smooth redemption process, please review the following requirements and notices:

Protocol Fees

  • A protocol fee is applied to each redemption and is deducted from the redeemed amount. The fee accounts for:
    • Network Transaction Fees: To cover blockchain transaction costs.
