Usual USD0 is a stablecoin from Usual backed one-to-one by a basket of real-world assets, primarily short-term US Treasuries and tokenized treasury funds held in bankruptcy-remote structures. The base token is redeemable and non-yielding, while a locked variant, USD0++, earns a boosted yield in exchange for a fixed term. USD0 scores 74/100 (Tier 2) on the RWTS Trust Score: a transparent RWA reserve and clear redemption, set against a relatively short operating history and the complexity that the yield-bearing version introduces through its lock-up and token economics.

Beyond USD0's own score, two structural questions matter: what is it built on, and what has broken before in this part of the market. A high score in isolation can still carry hidden, shared exposure.
What this and similar assets are built on, and where contagion could spread.
The depegs, defaults, and exploits that inform the Track Record dimension.
Liquidity read: TVL of $100.81M indicates healthy on-chain liquidity. Lock-up: None (USD0++ has lock for boosted yield).
