dTRINITY, a next-generation stablecoin liquidity
protocol, has announced its mainnet debut on the Fraxtal
L2 network. The platform is designed to lower interest expenses
and improve yields for stablecoin users, addressing the key
challenge of rising credit costs in DeFi.
At the core of dTRINITY is a protocol-native stablecoin (dUSD),
which serves as the unified liquidity layer between its money
markets (dLEND, an Aave v3 fork) and external liquidity pools
(e.g., Curve). dUSD is backed 1:1 by an on-chain collateral reserve
consisting of stablecoins such as USDC, FRAX, and DAI, as well as
yieldcoins like sFRAX and sDAI. Exogenous yields from the reserve
are redirected to fund ongoing interest rebates for dUSD borrowers
on dLEND, based on their outstanding debts, which reduces the
effective borrowing cost. This mechanism not only stimulates
borrowing demand but also drives more sustainable utilization and
yields for dUSD lenders.
dTRINITY is launching on Fraxtal as its genesis network in a
strategic collaboration with Frax to optimize ecosystem liquidity
and user incentives. Fraxtal is an EVM-equivalent rollup with a
scalable smart contract platform and efficient execution
environment powered by the OP stack. Users can take advantage of
Fraxtal’s fast transaction speed, low gas fees, robust network
security, and unique blockspace rewards, further enhancing their
benefits.
In the near future, dTRINITY plans to expand to Ethereum and
other emerging blockchains, strengthening cross-chain liquidity and
interoperability with Fraxtal as the network scales.
Key Features of dTRINITY:
- Subsidized Interest Rate Model: dTRINITY’s
innovative subsidized interest rate model lowers the equilibrium of
stablecoin borrowing costs on dLEND vs. other protocols without
impacting lending yields. In fact, rebates at low utilization
levels could even result in negative interest rates for dUSD
borrowers (i.e., borrowers could get paid to borrow).
- Liquidity Incentives: dUSD lenders and
liquidity providers benefit from a combination of protocol rewards
and external incentives from strategic partners (in both points and
tokens) for supplying and bolstering liquidity in the
ecosystem.
- Security & Risk Management: dTRINITY has
successfully completed smart contract audits with three leading
blockchain security firms: Halborn, Verichains, and Cyberscope.
Additionally, the protocol disables rehypothecation of supplied
collateral by default to minimize risk exposure. dUSD is the only
borrowable asset on dLEND and it cannot be borrowed against
itself.
- Strategic Partnerships: In addition to Frax,
dTRINITY also plans to collaborate symbiotically with other major
DeFi protocols. First, dUSD can be expanded to other lending
platforms (e.g., Fraxlend, Morpho), providing their users with
similar subsidy benefits. Secondly, dUSD can serve as a cheaper
medium of leverage for loopers using other stablecoins/yieldcoins
(e.g., Ethena, crvUSD), increasing demand for both projects.
Furthermore, the dUSD reserve’s composition will be diversified
over time, opening up potential partnership opportunities with more
stablecoin/yieldcoin projects.
dTRINITY's core contributors include the co-founders of Stably.
The project has been in development since Q2 2024 and secured 1st
place at both the ETHVietnam and Fraxtal Hackathons earlier this
year. Strategically, dTRINITY is advised by the co-founders of
Frax, Convex, Sky (formerly MakerDAO), Coin98, and Promontory
Partners, bringing a wealth of expertise from leading stablecoin
and DeFi pioneers to the protocol’s development.

About dTRINITY
dTRINITY is the world's first subsidized lending
protocol, designed to reduce borrowing costs and enhance yields for
stablecoin users in DeFi. The protocol is powered by dUSD, a
decentralized stablecoin backed 1:1 by an on-chain yieldcoin
reserve. Exogenous yields from the reserve are used to fund ongoing
interest rebates for dUSD borrowers, lowering their effective
borrowing rates. dTRINITY is now live on the Fraxtal L2, and it
will be expanded to Ethereum plus other networks in the future.
