Let’s dive in ↓
One big step towards Ethereum's future.
ZK technology like Pico Prism will enable Ethereum to scale to meet global demand, while still remaining trustworthy and decentralized.
Crypto will die without privacy.
So I studied the entire history of onchain privacy to make sure it doesn't happen.
The 44-page report covers everything from early day mixers to more recent solutions.

I analyzed 20+ crypto cards across key metrics:
• KYC requirements
• On-chain privacy & unlinkability
• Custody model
• Fees & usability
Here’s what I found 👇 Link for the FULL COMPARISON DATABASE in the thread
This week we announced USX, the first ZK-powered neodollar
But not everyone knows what a neodollar actually is
Here's the breakdown:
(Spoiler: pre-deposits go live soon, and you won't wanna miss out)
Yes, we have a points program.
And only the first $35M will get 20x points.
Pre-deposits open next week.
And if you're on the waitlist, we'll tell you when.
Exactly 2 hrs before everyone else.
So, get on it.

Introducing @usxcapital : Opening the Era of Stablecoin 2.0
Stablecoins have become a cornerstone of blockchain-based finance. Tokens like USDT, USDC, and DAI have long served as the “onchain dollar,” cushioning market volatility and providing a reliable unit of account. Yet over time, the stablecoin sector has stagnated — focusing only on preserving value rather than expanding its utility. Despite being built atop blockchain innovation, stablecoins themselves have failed to fully embody that innovation.
Users earn no yield simply by holding them, pay gas fees for every transaction, and see all their activity publicly visible on-chain. In other words, while the concept of the dollar has moved onto the blockchain, little meaningful innovation has followed beyond DeFi usage.
That’s where USX, the stablecoin designed by @Scroll_ZKP (an Ethereum Layer 2), comes in. Born from the recognition of these limitations, USX is not just a “price-stable token.” It is a new form of money — one that stores value, generates yield, and can be used natively in everyday transactions. In short, it’s Scroll’s vision for a “Stablecoin 2.0.”
This post explores how USX redefines the traditional stablecoin model — and why it may mark the beginning of a new onchain monetary era.
1) The Limits of Traditional Stablecoins
The primary appeal of stablecoins has always been stability. Yet that very stability has turned into a structural limitation, offering little direct benefit to users.
1⃣Limited User Yield
Most stablecoin issuers deposit collateral into low-risk assets like U.S. Treasuries, earning over 5% annual yield — but none of that income flows back to users. Unless users actively engage in DeFi strategies, holding a stablecoin is equivalent to holding a 0% yield asset.
2⃣ Inefficient User Experience
Every onchain transaction requires gas fees, often in a chain’s native token like ETH. This adds friction to everyday use, making stablecoins impractical for payments or commerce.
3⃣Privacy Concerns in Real Use
All blockchain transactions are transparent — balances and transfers are publicly visible. While transparency has benefits, it also creates privacy risks, especially for salary payments, business operations, or local commerce where financial details should remain confidential.
As a result, today’s stablecoins have become assets that primarily benefit issuers, not users. Scroll aims to change this dynamic fundamentally with USX — rebuilding stablecoins from the ground up to achieve true mass adoption.
2) @usxcapital : The Beginning of a New Stablecoin Era
USX represents a new model Scroll calls the “Neodollar.” Unlike traditional stablecoins that simply tokenize the U.S. dollar, USX redesigns it for the onchain environment — a form of money optimized for programmability, privacy, and real-world usability.
If traditional stablecoins are “digital replicas of the dollar,” USX is the onchain evolution of the dollar — a form of money that not only stores value but also generates it, while embedding privacy and usability at its core.
USX is fully backed 1:1 with USDC and is always redeemable. However, rather than being a static asset, it redistributes yield directly back to users.
💡 USX Basic Structure
> USX: Stablecoin pegged 1:1 with USDC
> sUSX: Yield-bearing token received when staking USX
When users stake USX, they receive sUSX, which appreciates in value as the protocol generates yield. In essence, USX transforms from “a store of value” into “a value-creating asset.”
Scroll has designed a dual-strategy yield architecture to power this system:
1⃣Off-chain Strategy (TradFi Model):
Funds are allocated to partner hedge funds employing market-neutral strategies, such as basis trading and cross-exchange arbitrage. These trades generate consistent, low-risk returns independent of crypto market volatility.
2⃣On-chain Strategy (DeFi Model):
Through Blend, Scroll’s DeFi partner, the protocol automatically allocates assets across lending, tranching, and liquidity provision strategies that aim for delta-neutral, risk-hedged returns. Portfolios are rebalanced regularly based on liquidity and market conditions.
Together, these form what Scroll calls a Hybrid Yield Architecture — enabling USX to target up to 12% annualized returns, distributed directly to users (sUSX holders) rather than issuers.
3) Why Use USX on Scroll?
USX is natively integrated into the Scroll Layer 2 as its core currency infrastructure, offering an entirely new financial experience for users.
1⃣Gasless Transactions:
Transfers require no ETH — users can send USX directly without worrying about gas fees, creating a truly frictionless payment experience.
2⃣Practical Privacy with Cloak:
Built on Scroll’s Cloak Privacy Layer, transactions and balances remain hidden from the public while preserving compliance through zero-knowledge proofs. This “practical privacy” model protects user data while maintaining regulatory compatibility — a balance between transparency and discretion.
3⃣Real-World Payment Integration:
Through partnerships with payment providers, users will be able to spend USX directly for offline payments, without swaps or conversions — bridging the gap between onchain assets and the real economy.
Scroll’s combination of gasless UX, privacy, and usability forms the foundation for a realistic monetary infrastructure within the blockchain economy. Within this system, USX is positioned to become the reserve currency of the Scroll ecosystem — not just a stablecoin narrative, but a working product that proves it.
Conclusion: From Stablecoin to Onchain Money
USX is more than a stable token — it represents the evolution of money itself on-chain. Scroll has elevated stablecoins beyond mere value preservation, introducing yield, privacy, and real-world utility in one cohesive system.
If the first era of stablecoins focused on replicating the dollar, USX reimagines the dollar for the blockchain age — transforming it from “stored money” into “circulating, productive money.”
As the foundation of Scroll’s economic layer, USX could mark the true beginning of the Stablecoin 2.0 era, where blockchain assets finally move, earn, and interact like real money.

current stablecoin farming stack (links in the next tweet):
all of these are super safe where you can enter with basically any size
1. @PlasmaFDN: can't do much here now except bidding pre markets (not recommended)
2. @USDai_Official: 15-20% raw apr + airdrop + ICO
- caps will be raised next week (Sept 11th), but you can bypass that by using pendle and euler (you'll be doing that anyways to get maximum multipliers)
- Strategy: personally doing a mix of pendle LPs and YTs cause they have max multipliers (details in the next tweet)
3. @capapp: 10-15% raw apr + airdrop + (megaeth exposure maybe)
- Strategy: cUSD pendle LP for 20x caps multiplier
4. @Theo_Network: 4% yield + airdrop
- Strategy 1: LP on @prjx_hl (for prjx exposure)
- Strategy 2: deposit through Liminal (for liminal exposure)
5. @liminalmoney: 15-20% apr + airdrop?
- Strategy: HYPE (2x) + PUMP + Fartcoin
6. @etherealdex: 10% apr + airdrop
- a bit under the radar because they've been farming for a long time now but with everything going on with $ENA could be a decent airdrop
- Strategy: deposit eUSDE in euler

Arc. Noble. Plasma. Stable. Tempo.
The new wave of stablecoin chains is here and the market is moving fast.
Confidentiality is not optional, it’s needed for payments at scale.
And beyond that, confidentiality means profit.
@0xfairblock makes stablecoins confidential by default. That’s the endgame.
