(LISUSD)

lisUSD is a decentralized stablecoin on the BNB Chain, over-collateralized by crypto assets like BNB and ETH. It aims to maintain a $1 value but is termed "destablecoin" because its primary focus is on decentralization and transparency, rather than a rigid 1:1 fiat peg. This differentiates it from centralized stablecoins backed by traditional financial assets, emphasizing its crypto-native and censorship-resistant design.

LISTA is the governance token for the Lista DAO, allowing holders to vote on protocol changes, such as adding new collateral types or adjusting fees, and earn a share of the protocol's revenue. lisUSD, conversely, is the decentralized stablecoin itself. It is the currency borrowed by users against their collateral, used for payments, and can be utilized in various yield-generating activities, acting as the primary medium of exchange within the ecosystem.

The Collateral Ratio indicates the market value of your deposited assets relative to the amount of lisUSD you have borrowed. It's a critical safety metric to ensure lisUSD remains fully backed. Each collateral asset has a minimum ratio (e.g., 120% or 150%). If the market value of your collateral drops below this specific threshold, your borrowing position will be automatically liquidated by the protocol to cover your debt, preventing under-collateralization.

lisUSD maintains its $1 peg through a combination of mechanisms. The Peg Stability Module (PSM) allows users to swap centralized stablecoins for lisUSD at a 1:1 rate, providing direct arbitrage opportunities. Additionally, the protocol uses dynamic borrowing and repayment fees. These fees are adjusted based on market demand to incentivize users to mint more lisUSD when its price is above $1, or repay debt when it's below $1, thereby influencing its value towards the target peg.

slisBNB is Lista's liquid staking token, representing your staked BNB on the platform. It automatically earns BNB staking rewards. A key utility is that you can use slisBNB as collateral to borrow lisUSD, enabling you to earn staking yields while simultaneously leveraging your assets. Furthermore, holding slisBNB (or using it as collateral on certain platforms) allows participation in various external launchpool and rewards programs, maximizing capital efficiency without unstaking your underlying BNB.

To engage in Lista's decentralized governance, users must lock their LISTA tokens within the protocol. This action grants them veLISTA (voting-escrowed LISTA), which is the token conferring voting power. With veLISTA, holders can actively participate in critical decision-making processes, such as proposing or voting on new collateral types to be added to the protocol, adjusting fee structures, or determining the allocation and distribution of protocol rewards, directly shaping the project's future.
